Had a Saab 900 with the ignition down in the center by the cup holders. I'm pretty sure standard equipment in that car is a tube of lock graphite.

I've honestly just taken alot of pride from reading your post. You seem like a guy whose shifted a gear or two on many a transmission, so to hear that the one I put up with for years was in fact the worst you've ever driven, makes me feel like I've seen some things.
