AAAAWWWW man!
My clb is on back order. My colum has'nt locked on me yet. My vert will be sitting till it comes. Man, I wanna drive my car. 
This sucks 
The wife is laughing at me. She's driving off in her camaro with the t-tops out. I'm driving my suburban. The gas bill starting to hurt my pockets. 
(just thought I'd vent a little)

Take the chance and drive it. The odds are in your favor tha it won't lock.

Drive it and if it locks up (it doesn't lock up as your driving) you can always use the "Brute Force on the Steering Wheel" technique. I wouldn't let it sit.

My column lock actuator lasted approx. 1500 cycles (1 cycle every time you start or turn off your engine), so figure out how many yours has on it and if it's well under, get out and drive that baby!

I ordered it from thunder racing. I don't know how many times the key was cycled. I'm the 2nd owner. I'm still scared. I'll give them another 5 working days. Can someone reccomend another place to order from?
