Back then, you could remove the key from the ignition while the car was speeding down the highway and use it to open the glove box.

I barely even remember using physical keys to open my family’s cars. Remote entry FOBs quickly became a thing when I was a kid.

This actually DID happen, especially on worn-out GM steering colums/ignition switches. You could start the car with the key, remove the key, drive all day as long as you didn’t put the ignition back in “lock” position!

I took a turn too fast in a 1990 S-10 and the keys flew out of the ignition… That’s how I learned about this.

That’s pretty funny, must have been a pretty heavy keychain.
