Maybe someone used a Caddy key blank to cut one for your car.

Does the Caddy key have a VATS resistor in it?

No reason you couldn't buy a Caddy key blank & have it cut to fit.

Re: my cars starts with a cadillac key!?

You have the car since new? Maybe the last owner throught he was a pimp or something and got it cut to show his friends?


[edit] Not saying that everyone who drives a Caddy is a pimp, just chumps that get Caddy keys cut for other cars.

Re: my cars starts with a cadillac key!?

I was going to say this time get a v8 - but ehh.. maybe that's not a great idea.

Be thankful you made it out - drive safe.

honestly the most idiotic thing ive seen all year. im pretty sure the rarity of camaros has little to do with the rarity of your bird. could be wrong but they are 2 completley diffrent model cars... just the same fbody and drivetrain options made by the same manufacturer. if all camaros suddnley burst into flames.... that wouldnt make firebirds any rarer. FAIL. and i love how you made it sound like i hit the trees on purpose. the real reason was i was trying to distance myself between the earth and idiots like you. thats why. I may have crashed my car... but you cant fix stupidity like yours.

Re: my cars starts with a cadillac key!?

I ate at Chili's for lunch today. You can buy a blank key with the a red pepper on it, just like the Chili's logo.

I'm just saying that, because you could get any blank key with a logo on it, and have it cut to fit your car.

(just the pepper on the key, not the lettering)
