    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.

      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.
