Maybe it's 986-4 with a VW 4 banger in it?

Actually...the key blanks are the same, so it's quite possible that the previous owner put his 996 blade in the VW flip key housing (maybe they wanted the flip key housing and didn't realize they could get one from the Cayenne).
Someone posted here about doing the same thing.

That said, a quick look at her Twitter feed says she's probably lying.

Interesting. Her Twitter feed made about as much sense as The Donalds. Good thing she is kinda cute cause life is rough if you are both ugly AND stupid.

With all those extra keys on the keychain the ignition switch is probably shot and she is waiting on the tow truck.

Keys? I thought the Venti, Chilled, Half-Caff, Soy Latte was the tip off.
