That might be a good cheap solution. They should be able to cut you one just will just work to open your doors and trunk and just keep it in your wallet, but i would personally call AAA.

but you need your registration to have a key cut off a vin...that proves your the owner of the vehicle. and the keys for these cars are to cheap either

Dont ask people how to open a evo you call a cop or a lock smith. You ask people how to open a evo alot of evo will be taken. Thats why where the number one stolen car in america and we have the highest insurance rates as well.

BS. The evo is not the most stolen car. Try the Integra. Every 3rd gen integra made from 1994-2001 is in the top 20 most stolen list, #1 being the 1999.

After you get into your car buy one of these:

After I got locked out I was so mad that I bought one of these just in case. Just dont keep it in your car

This air bladder will open your door just enough to get a coat hanger inside. It works too.
