I bought a new Honda snowblower today. It's a beaut! The NA made ones are trash compared to this baby. Oh yeah, it cost nearly double, but it has tracks instead of wheels, a hydro trannie, power assist auger height up and down from level... etc.

I got it home and played with it. I was a happy camper. Put it in the garage. Grabbed the ignition key and the manual and the "tool kit". Couldn't find the other key. Called the salesman and I was a rather unhappy camper. Only comes with ONE key. Now, I have never seen any equipment or vehicle come with only one key. Might be able to get a second key from parts, and I was transferred.

The parts guy could not believe it. He went and checked. One key. Got on his PC and told me I could buy one for $13.25. A key! $13.25 PLUS tax! It's aluminum! And they are all the same!

What a ripoff!

Now, I have to spend a half hour making one. I ain't givin them cheap bastards another dime!
