I had a 1982 nissan maxima that had a broken voice box, and the on/off
switch for the voice was toasted too... opening the door, leaving the
lights on, etc... would result in "The key/is on/are open". hilarious.
One day, this guy comes in with this big, shiny new
luxury car (well,
maybe it was a Buick? Chrysler? anyway . .), with a broken two-way.
I'm sitting next to him in the front seat, and he's trying to explain
the trouble. The whole time, the car is saying <<The key is in the
IGNITION>>, <<The key is in the IGNITION>> . . . in a decidedly
mechanical pseudo-woman's voice.
