P.S. still haven't brought it to a body shop yet.

BUT have you taken the steps so this will not happen again? Got a spare key hidden yet?

There that does it. Now that you are "prepared" it will never happen again. I used to keep an extra set of keys in my desk when I worked away from home. Good move!

IllusionX · 12-18-2008, 11:27 AM

Question though. Shouldn't you have 3 keys from factory ? 2 masters and 1 valet.
i always have my valet key wherever i go...

Yep, breaking window is cheaper, cost me $200 flat.

Red Horse · 12-19-2008, 04:31 PM

dvlnblkdrs · 12-19-2008, 10:53 PM

i always tell people to put their gps away.. that makes u an uber target and its not covered under auto or home insurance under most circumstances..

bought the car from a private owner - who had an aftermarket alarm system installed.(the car was base model - no power locks/windows)

so he got all four doors installed with power lock motors, and the alarm automatically locks all doors in 3 seconds once the car starts. it's very easy to forget if you need to do some stuff before you sit in the car, or warm it up.

or like today....it was snowing in nyc, i had to scrape the windows, etc etc, while warming up the car(along with blasting heat).

but i have my spare key in my wallet now, and one in my apartment.

dvlnblkdrs · 12-20-2008, 12:48 AM

guess im glad i moved to cali before i learned how to drive, so i never had to deal with that.. lol i was born and lived for 7 yrs out on long island..

seems just as many people out here lock themselves out too though.. i had an ex who locked himself out like 10 times in 2 yrs.. no joke

darthbauer · 12-20-2008, 12:51 AM

I think it would have been cheaper to just wait till the next day and had your local dealership make you a key from the VIN #

dvlnblkdrs · 12-20-2008, 12:52 AM

but matt.. his car was turned on!

darthbauer · 12-20-2008, 12:55 AM

Letting it run out of gas would have still been cheaper.
