    Anyone know of any places that can get a broken key out of the ignition? My cousin can't find a place.

    hmmm, is the car in the "on" position?? Try using a pair of needle nose pliers if its not. It worked for me in autobody class.

    Maybe try dental tools? I think you can get them at axeman. Then after you get the key piece out you can play doctor... er, dentist. Oops maybe I've said too much! LOL
