Since you didn't already have keys to the car, naturally you would have 
had to do this. In my case, I could have driven to the locksmith and 
saved the cost of a house call, but it just didn't occur to me. My 
approach had the advantage that I was able to do it all from the 
computer, and then walk a few blocks to my PO box to get the keys. 
Whether one method produces a better key than the other, I don't know.
