    1. Redditors are going to tell you *NEVER POST YOUR KEY ONLINE SOMEBODY WILL COPY IT.*

      But I don’t thank that applies here, LOL

    2. Remember when you used AI to create images back in 2022? this key looks like that

      I’m genuinely surprised that it even works anymore. I would have guessed that by wearing down so much, it wouldn’t push the pins far enough. That’s crazy.

    4. I think at this point you can try it with any key and it might actually start lol

      Something to be aware of is that the tumblers are just as worn. If you wver lose that key and try to have a new one made, its probably not going to work (new key, same worm tumblers) you’ll end up needing a switch too, which may or may not be available for a 1992 benzo.

    6. Have you tried starting it without out a key? Years ago I had an ‘84 Ford and everything wore down so much I didn’t even need a key to start it.

      That key cylinder must be shot

      A popsicle stick would probably start the car

      I’m more surprised that a Mercedes that old is still going strong. I can’t imagine the amount spent on repairs in 32 years.
