I'm worried I might break something if I try that but I don't want to pay a locksmith who might not even do it without proof of ownership. I have the keys but they don't fucking work.

Plus I don't want to wait until Monday .

You are fucking retarded if you can't open the car with a coat hanger.

>>17198233
>>Smells like fucking Skittles all the time now
I dunno that doesn't sound too bad

>>17198233
Go buy a bottle of extra strength febreeze.
Spray down the seats and carpets.
Let it sit for a day. Then go drive around with your windows down to lessen the strength of the smell.

Turns out the locksmith was available today. I'd rather pay $60 to not break anything.

I bought a Jeep Wrangler from a dealership once and regretted it immediately. Instantly dramatically upside down with a terrible interest rate. Took forever to get rid of it. Never again with the stealerships. I'd rather get fucked by a private party with cash because at least I know that doesn't put me at risk of total bankruptcy.

>get a cheap, shitty, rusty RSX for cheap because fun
>transmission clunks like mad
>note that the shifter boot has fallen down and ignore it
>change transmission fluid, it's a lot better but it's still clunky and rattles when shifting unless the revmatch is 100% perfect
>learn to live with it over the next few months
>shift knob falls apart into two pieces
>use some gorilla tape to fasten the shifter boot up and tape the two halves of the shift knob together
>no more clunks or rattles when shifting

why do I even bother going out of my way to buy shitboxes when I easily have the money for something nicer

>>17198522
