Re: Locked Keys
Hopefully, by reading.
I'd hate to see him trash a car (maybe a nice one even) by breaking into it, thinking he's going to "save money" that way. I can't think of many things that can happen to a car, besides crashing it or "cleaning up the engine bay", that will turn it into a worthless pile of garbage with no resale value faster than water leaks.

Re: Locked Keys
do we realy want to be telling people how to get into our cars any way. Aperantly it's relitivaly easy espetaly if you have a t-roof. I carry a extra Door Key In my wallet for just such situations. Pay the money and get your door open. Mabie a better trread would be "How to theft Proof Your Car"

Re: Locked Keys
after you get this solved, you go buy a slimjim door lock opener and stash it under your car for next time.. or if you just wanna get into someone's car.. just kidding
hide a spare key somewhere on the car.. front bumper, rear bumper, where ever you want.. and make sure it has no chance of leaving the car without you going to get it..

Re: Locked Keys
what i have noticed is that GM has a problem making keys not fit other cars ive used the key to my truck to open crown vicks, sunfires, mailbu's, so find another set of maro keys or some from a t/a or possiably a firebird see if they will fit. or do as i do and keep a pick kit with you at most times either way give it a try it might help ya out

Re: Locked Keys

If your going to do it yourself buy the proper tools. but your best bet is to call a locksmith and have them open it for you, no f'n around and you know nothing is going to get busted!

Re: Locked Keys
I keep my lock out kit behind the seat. Of course I drive a tow truck so I am allowed to have them. I have been pulled over with them in my personnal cars before and never had a problem. But really the camaros and firebirds are really easy to unlock.
