My wife has grown tired of jiggling the key to get it to turn CW to start the car...I say "ahh, c'mon honey, just jiggle it a little, I never seem to have any troubles"

Decide I better check this AWESOME site that has helped me plenty in the past and lo and behold I better get my A$$ in gear!!

Anyway, I'm a bit confused...Fastlane has the Ignition Lock Cylinder for $74 but I've seen posts that I can get it for less then $50, etc. Does the Cylinder from Fastlane come from my VIN so that I maintain only one key for ignition and doors (my wife would NEVER allow two keys :p) or is it a completely different key? AND, if it is the same key, how do they validate I am the correct owner as it has been mentioned that you need registration, title, etc. to provide proof of ownership??

Well, as always, I thank you so much for all of your help! Mike
