92 gmc cargo van

i won a van while i was working down in valdez at the end of the pipeline

About 4-5 years ago I entered a contst and won.

It was thru Hot Wheels website for a trip to florida with some spending cash, everything inclusive.

Trouble was, I didnt check my E mail until a DAY after the period was over. I called, emailed and pleaded but got no response... So I missed out and felt like ass over it.

on the chip encoder keys most cars don't need the chip encoded key to unlock the door they only need it to start the car.

They've done similar promotions like that around here and if it's the same thing then it is the real deal... keep in mind that I used to be a car dealer too... Yeah they usually do try to sell to the losers, but there is always one lucky winner (unless they don't show up with their key).
Myself personally, I love the promotions that the dealerships do. Like when you get one of those lil scratch off papers that you're guaranteed to win something... Grand prize can be anything from a new car to a HDTV, but most win something like a gift card or a car vac (something small and stupid), but hey I figure they're gonna give me something, so why not? And one of my favorite things to do is go to dealerships and test drive cars anyway... even though I have no intention on buying.
And if you filled it out in your dads name, then why does your mom have to go... Make it a boys day out for you and your dad

yea but a chip encoded key is minum $125 and upwards... depending on the vehicle of over $300. So even if the GMC Sierra is 35k... i doubt they would give out 30-100 free encoded keys...

i remember one time at our local mall i guess one of us entered they called our house.. i guess we won a free all expense payed trip to disney land or w.e the one in Florida is for a week and a new i think 2001 something might have been a gmc sierra too come that i think of it.. my parents thought it was bs and they never did anything..lol

not for that expensive of a truck/suv or w.e.. lol

Ha, my hopes have already been broken I really doubt they would go through with that many keys though, especially the chip encoded ones....

thats exactly my point, the truck is real, hell i used it as a surface to fill out the darn application. Plus, if there is anyone who would know a bad key, it would be my dad- 11+ years of being a locksmith.
