my car just got slim jimmed in 2 seconds
Well techinically a cop did it, I left my keys in the ignition at school, luckily the campus police building's right next to the lot so they slim jimmed it for me, only took like 2 seconds lol.. goes to show you probably shouldn't leave anything in your car, much less your keys.
On an odd note they didn't ask for any proof if that was my car or not lol..

The 2nd gen is the easiest car to get into in a hurry. All you need is any slim fairly stiff piece of metal. Above the door handle just go straight down through the window sill. The door will unlock! I can do it almost as fast as I can by just unlocking it with a key.

I recently locked my keys in the car and used a pressure guage to get it. I just put it in the keyhole and moved it up and down till It went in as far as the key would normally. Takes about 5 seconds to do.

That's because the drivers door and ignition locks and keys get worn down over the years... and when you get a key copy made, it's based on the worn down key rather than the original code... that's why a lot of old cars have "slutty" locks.
At least, that's the theory the guy at the dealer gave me as to why my passenger side lock doesn't work with my key...

I actually use a bump key to start my car. Mostly as a lockpicking expirement. Plus I can open ony other 2nd gen with it. I proved this at a local car meet much to the humor and un nerving of the other gatherers (I asked permission before I did it). This was to prove a point...locks are not secure, it is the illusion of security. Car manufacturers make locks to the degree they feel most consumers won't complain. It's economics meets security.

Watch out, because over zealous use of a coat hanger can damage the lock mechanism. I did this to the passanger side door on my track car when I locked the key in. I eventually realized that with the door panels off I could just hook the hatch release lever on the drivers side, rather than try and jimmy the lock.
Luckily I am gutting the doors anyway, so a damaged lock is not a big deal for me.
