Right. So. This morning Jason took the work truck to get a copy of the key made, but the copy didn't work. Arrgh! So he called up parts places and our friend, Richard, who is also an aircraft mechanic. Richard suggested talking to the Toyota dealership, having experienced something similar with a Toyota he used to have back in the day. So Jason went with his advice and they told him they could make a dealer copy of the key which would be more exact. It cost about $1o but it worked! Note-any friends who drive Toyotas, don't ever get a key made from Wal-Mart or Lowes or anywhere, go to the dealer. Something about their keys just doesn't copy right, apparently. But yay, they key worked! Jason left the car running until he got it home, where he proceeded to turn it off and on about twelve times to be on the safe side. Satisfied, we packed up our things and headed down to Sheila's place. We got in around five and had dinner and decorated sugar cookies (thanks, Pillsbury!) then checked out the new barn. Tim and Aaron are out here too, we're doing second Christmas tomorrow morning. Let's hope this one runs a little smoother than the last one.

Let's get it right this time.

If the Toyota key is anything like the Chevrolet key that I have, then it can't be copied correctly anywhere but at a dealership because there is some kind of chip inside that is only compatable with the car and visa-versa.
Or as Biff Tanon would say "Nobody can start that car but me!"
