    That's not a price, that's an extortion. I think I'll go make several copies and keep them in the safety deposit box knowing that's how they treat people.

    One of those master keys is going straight into the safe when I get it, along with about a dozen copies. lol

    At one point they did, I bought a 355 blank (the exact type as the broken one shown earlier) and had it cut at a hardware store. They had quite a time cutting it because the blank was harder than anything they had ever cut prior. :)

    Yep, they are steel keys and not brass like a normal key is. Although not sure why they break so often being a steel key. I have never had a brass key break, but hear of the Ferrari keys broken often..

    ready for the kick in the ass... my keys DON'T FIT. Apparently at some point my ignition and locks were changed. I know i didn't do it. I know the car was in an accident at one point, bc the drivers side door is really yellow under the red paint (fround this out when i took the door panels off one day) Id imagine the locks and stuff were changed around the same time.

    Probably, the previous owner broke a key, and found out it was cheaper to replace the ignition switch, and get two keys with it, than it was to buy two new keys....

    :D
