Not sure where this is from to give credit, as it was sent to me like this. But I had to smile... Regards - John

LOL, back in the late 1970s I went to the Mall with my ex-wife, and we were in there for over 6 hours. I got that Mall mentality and in my haste to leave headed for my vehicle after the "shopping" was done. My keys wouldn't fit in the door to unlock it. A few minutes later a guy walked up and said, "yours is over there, my keys wouldn't fit it either".

Years ago we had a 1991 Dodge Dynasty, silver in color. Sara took it to town one day. After several hours of shopping she returned to the street where she had parked, spotted a silver Dodge, went over, unlocked the door, got it and started the engine. She pulled out and was some distance down the street when she became aware there was a bunch of strange stuff inside the car. She looked closer and saw the interior was slightly different than our car. She drove around the block, parked the car where it had been, locked it, walked down the street three cars and got in OUR Dodge Dynasty.

I had to laugh at these stories. I was reminded of a time, many years ago, when a group of us went to Silverstone to watch the British Grand Prix. We went in a black Morris Minor which one of the group borowed from his mother.
After the racing we went to the car park not expecting to have any difficulty finding the car even among the couple of hundred there. All we had to look for was a black Morris Minor. We found dozens of them. The prize bit was that the chap who borrowed it couldn't remember the number. So we just had to walk round trying the keys in the doors till we found the right car.
Nowadays we'd probably have been arrested by the security people, but they too saw the funny side of it.

D'ya know how many silver Chevy Tahoes there are? After trying numerous times to open the wrong one, we've resorted to chirping the alarm with the remote first. Now if someone has the same remote code, we're s*****d! Roy

Guess I'm lucky my Hyundai is the worst pink/orange/red you've ever seen so easy to find and my Chevy wagon is one of only three in our town. One has mag wheels, one a roof rack and then there's ours. When I had my Honda Civic I did walk over to a red Tercel and stick my key in before I woke up.

I tell everyone, the Rambler is like the line from the movie "Highlander" , "There can be only one". Actually never mixed up cars till the eighties, then everything began to look the same. Now from the back, a Hyundai Accent, Toyota Camry, my Chevy Optra (Daewoo) and a few others are nearly identical. Nothing else looks like a Rambler.(for better or for worse, LOL)
