I found one car that was an entirely different brand that locked when I unlocked my car. Nothing else did anything, but it would do the usual locking beep if I clicked it twice.

This happened with multiple Plymouth minivans in the 90s as I recall

Or it was his rental car and he doesn’t have as much attachment to it.

Since Nashville exploded recently, developers have been falling over themselves trying to build Tall&Skinnies on every square inch of space they can.
A few years back, they started demolishing historic studios on Music Row to build apartment buildings, and it took a concerted historical preservation effort to keep them from basically levelling the place and building apartments on its corpse - which then ironically would be marketed as 'Historic Music Row Apartments'

Never new of different keys starting vehicles but was definitely some 80’s imports (Asian) that often had door keys that worked on different vehicles. When we learnt this in high school there was some shenanigans

I had this happen with a 98' Toyota Tacoma. Same make/model/year and even the key. Found a guy sitting in the passenger seat waiting for his friend who had the exact same truck. Blew my mind.

You’d need some proper history first ;)

The old ford trucks and SUVs all had like 7 keys. It was insane how it still worked well enough.

Back in the 80s and 90s most car companies would make under 500 keysets for each make/ year. So if there were 350 keysets, you had a 1/350 chance of this working

Back in the 80s or 90s, Toyota would only actually have like 150- 250. Different keys/ locks for any given run of cars. Dealerships would buy packs that were each key and could figure out the right one based on Vin (iirc)
As luck would have it, in our small town, there was one other guy with a red 86 Toyota pickup, and his and my dad's had the same key.
To make matters worse, they both worked with boats (my dad built them, and the other guy was a fisherman we think)
Occasionally, when launching a boat or doing something at the marina, when we came back at the end of the day, the other guy would have taken my dad's car home for the night. So my dad would just take it home for the night, then drop it back off in the parking lot first the next day, and get his back when the guy came back for it.
It happened 3 or 4 times that I know of- first time was a surprise when we came back from a sail, My dad reached under the seat for a fresh pack of smokes, as he pulled out of the lot, and came up with a fishing knife instead.

He doesn’t get to state the struggles directly caused by his parents actions? In what way does that make sense? Just because he’s had more opportunities doesn’t mean they haven’t come with their own set of additional struggles. I can speak up against police brutality and frankly no one gives a damn. Man made his own demonstration and got vilified. Not sure I want his opportunities despite our somewhat similar struggles in early life.

Actually, I believe that British values are at odds with the Tory government.
