This day has started off grand...

Locked my keys in my car upon arrival to work at 5:45am this morning. WOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Not sure what i'm going to do about that just yet. You'd think i'd be smart and make a spare copy of that key, but nooooooo..... not that smart i guess.

Call any tow company... $20-$50 and you are all set. Those guys will open your doors in no time.

At least the Internet works!

Is this a new car? If you have onstar then they can remotely unlock the door

Hahaha, absolutely not. I drive 15-20 year old japanese "shitboxes." It's far cheaper that way for me. This car does seem to be the only car i lock my key in, though.

I might do that.... might just have my girlfriend bring me a wire hanger. Can't unlock these doors with a Jimmy, unfortunately.

Watch out with the wire. Had a friend crack his window that way

no spare key at home?

Eh... honestly, i do this at least 2-3 times a month with this car, and this car only, never had a problem with the wire, and can do it in under a minute at this point. The window doesn't have a full frame, so there's not a lot of stress on it.

This also happens to be the only car that doesn't have a spare key. Go figure.

If you end up calling someone out to use a slimjim to open up your car, make sure to have them do a back door (if 4-door) or the passenger door (if 2-door) so that if they foul up the process, you haven't destroyed your main point of entry.

Had a friend learn this the hard way.

Good luck,

Jay

Edit: see you can get in yourself...Good on ya!

Go have a spare made after work. Or I'll have other's pay you a visit, concealer.

Yeah, that'll probably happen. After i get the other's key's out of my car.

Although, i am only driving this car for another 2 weeks before it get's taken off the road for a few month's.

Man... i must sound like the biggest pain in the **** ever... but check THIS out:

My passenger side door linkage is broken. It won't open from the outside anyways. :mad: Nobody ever rides in it, so i haven't bothered fixing it. It's mainly a track day car, i just felt like taking it to work today for whatever reason. That turned out well, didn't it?

Maybe they could go through the hatch.

Most auto insurance policies will reimburse you of you call a locksmith. Allstate has reimbursed my wife a couple times ($50 a pop) when she had a locksmith use a master key.

Heh...you're gonna have to start carrying your key on one of those retractable belt loops....it'll be like the high school janitor!
Hope the rest of your day goes well, brother!

You might want to consider switching to a 15-20 year old German "shitbox". Those, you have to lock from the outside-with the key.;)

Your day can only get better.

2-3 times a month and you haven't made a spare key yet? EPIC FAILURE!

Pretty much!

I made a spare key for my last Celica, which i always did it in, too... then sold the car 2 weeks later. Never got around to making a spare for this one yet. Go figure.

Atleast you didn't lose the key. I too need to make a spare key.

concealer404

Actually... i still have the spare to the last Celica somewhere. I wonder if that would work.

Eh, i'll just do the wire hanger method, if i can find one.
