Oh my.
The mountain man primitive, who like all men nightly pitches his tent one day's march nearer the mausoleum:

Anyone know roughly what it costs to have a Locksmith open your car up?
I just bought a used car wednesday, it came with just one key. This afternoon I locked the key in the car, or more correctly I left the key on the seat when I closed the door (I was cleaning windows) and the car locked both doors for me. The car is an Acura and its tight with almost no exposed weather-stripping and seams protected by metal trim. There is no way to get a wire or a coat-hanger into it anywhere and nothing to grab if you did.
So for the first time in my life I'm going to have to venture into LockSmith land. I don't need the car until Monday, and in fact I could do without it then. So I don't need to ask for it to be opened tonight or tomorrow (Sunday). I can wait.
So my question is pretty straight forward. Have you got any idea what this is going to cost me? The car is at my home, the closest locksmith is about 12 miles away. There are about a half a dozen of them in the closest town (Morgantown, West Virginia).
Most of the primitive comments suggest the mountain man primitive join AAA.
The exceptions:

3. I have an Acura Legend, with automatic locks, cost me $75
The automatic locks are more difficult, I gather. Sorry for your trouble, but congrats on getting a great car. Oh, this was in Bellevue WA and everything is more expensive there.

5. Probably about $75. I wouldn't pay more than 100.

I would guess that is what this poster suggested.

Now is it ethical? If you are a dummy that would probably be a big HE77 YES it is stickin it to the man.

It would be sweet irony if the DUmmy committed insurance fraud against GEICO, someone that they all love owns them. :lmao:

You probably saw the same thing I did, over on Skins's island, sir.
The Bostonian Drunkard's shrill screed about "class warfare," and his mother was the first to comment.
Yawn.

I was actually thinking of the thread from way back where he got hit with a brick. :-)

Yeah, that classic, but to be honest, I'd totally forgotten all about the Bostonian Drunkard until today; hadn't given him a single thought for months and months.

I'd seen the latest rant he crapped out, it wasn't even worth bringing over here. *sigh* how the mighty have fallen, he used to post stuff that was worth the time to bring over and mock. It used to be at DU he could post a thread that he took a crap, and he would get 1000 recs.

Naaa - spark plug ceramic.. Leaves no evidence, and shatters the glass entirely. If the primitive is going to commit insurance fraud, may as well do it right... :whatever:

Yup that was a classic. Was it ever here or just at CU?
Rich trust fund dummies will be so surprised when the torch and pitch folk crews come for them too. Ah, what they could learn from the real French Revolution. More than a few petty bourgeois lost their head in the end.

I don't recall seeing it here, it was at CU before the crash.

Geez, first rule after buying a car is get a valet key cut and stick it in your wallet.

I carry a lock-out kit in my pick-up......easy way to make a days lunch money.

Acura isn't American. Tsk tsk, DUmmie.

Neither are a lot of Chevys.
I found out my Chevy Avalanche was made in Mexico. (Could be why the On-Star speaks to me with an accent) :rotf:

Indeed - however, it can be expensive, as keys are digitally chipped now. But if one wants to get a key cut that will unlock a door or a trunk, that can be done for just a few dollars.

Bought a used car , a Lincon Continental for $500 a 1978-79 in 1990. Great condition a boat of a car huge.
We the day after were headed out for a Barefoot Cruise along the coast of Maine and stopped for gas. We had no key for the gas tank, what a mess. This car lasted years with no repairs, great car.
Few years later we bought another Lincoln Continental 1991 fully packed, all those electronic stuff , great until we brought the dogs along for a ride, we left the dogs in the car as we were sightseeing, key in the ignition my purse on front seat and the damn dogs jumping about hit the lock button.
Today we both have cars that have roll up windows, our Jeep is standard, door lock is on the door and impossible to set by a dog, My KIA is the same, none of this electronic crap, we are capable of rolling up windows ourselves and the doors lock only when we, not the dogs work the locks.
These new cars that are all electronic must be a PITA when one looses the key. ------Give me an 1990 truck automatic in good condition and I will bless you and send prayers every Sunday for you if you will trade for my KIA 6.000 miles and standard shift. She is old but has been kept up and only took me to work 10 miles away for a few years.

Not American made.
Not union made.
HERESY!!!

This is another thread like the one yesterday, where a DUmmy bragged about a trip to Europe by asking a question about hair dryers.
In this one, the toothless DUmbass wants his felow DUmpmonkeys to know he's driving an upscale Acura.
He'll never mention it's a '98 model.
-
Maybe he's really locked IN the car. :rotf:
You need a neighbor with a slim jim. :whistling: A cop knows how to open it.
Also, Pop A Lock charges $30 cash if you have it on you when they arrive, $40 for a check.
It cost my husband $150 for a replacement key for his work truck. He didn't pay it out of his pocket, only paid for it with a company credit card.

Why do the DUmmys rush to the internet to tell people how f*cking stupid they are?
Note to DUches, in the real world being stupid is not noble or anything to be proud of.
