Yeesh, do slim jims even work on any car anymore? I've only owned Fords, and every one since the late 80's have had welded steel boxes around the lock mechanism; even when I've played around with the inner door panel off so I could see what I was doing, there's no way to get it open with a slim jim. You pick the lock or break the window. You can't drive them off either even if you pick or pull the lock or hot wire it (if that's even possible anymore, I doubt it - you'd have to fool the ECC) because every car's got RFID chipped keys now.

Probably someone make one and threw it away when they realized they couldn't actually open any car made since 1985 with it.
