I got a key turned over! 20 Minutes of yanking and tapping and no Avail. Slumped head, defeated. Threw key at garage door, picked it up told it I was sorry, and said heck, why not try it one more time! IT WORKED! Just waiting for the MB dealer to open. Going to get any tumbler I can find, and most likely will have to buy the ignition removal tools and bite the bullet.

This is funny:

So around 1 am last night on a quiet residential street in South Florida one could witness a 85 TD being pushed by a Crown Vic with flashing lights on the roof.

I went out to wiggle the key around with a flashlight after not being able to sleep due to this problem, and they Police officers must have just seen a flashlight bouncing around the dash, and the car rocking a bit.

Suspicious

So basically they thought I was trying to steal it, but that theory of theirs quickly dissipated when I exited the car with my hands above my head in my pajamas, and with the correct key. They didn't even ask for my license or registration.

So I rolled down the driveway and they helped me push it up a sloped street to a parking spot by hand, but that was slow. So I half joked that they should use their car. They initially thought no way. But one officer convinced the other as they were apparently bound to get either a new Charger or Fusion in a few weeks. So that's my DIY on how to use a crown vic to push a W123, and get the most of your tax dollars. What a wild nite.
