worn down key!?
OK, here's what happened. I go to start the truck tonight, and my key won't turn, the ignition is completely locked. Locksmith comes out and completely rebuilt the ignition right on the spot. He said it was because the key was worn down (comparing it to my backup key for door locks). So have any of you heard about this!?
The 'worn' key is on the left, on the right if a key I purchased 2 years ago.

Wow...I'm having trouble even believing that the key on the left even worked for you last week....it's so worn down...seems odd that it would have to wear down that much to NOT work.
Maybe one of your friends played a joke on you and too a grinder to it.

hahaha, yeah
and stop keying all those cars that park in "your" spot... Or scraping up stuff on the sidewalk.
Seriously though. How does a key wear down that fast? I used to own a POS 93 toyota, and that thing still had bumps on the key at least.
wow. I wonder how much they saved by going with tin foil.

I think hes been crushing drugs up with it... 
I agree my 93 dak was the same way, I had the key from the beginning and it still worked until I broke one of the cams inside key cylinder which meant a replacement everything

I know keys arnt the strongest things in the world. I have seen a few break inside door locks and such. But I havent seen one wear down quite that fast. His truck if only what? 5-6 years old? tops?
They look like 2 different keys now. (and they do look different, just by looking at the botton...)
