[s-cars] Key madness '95 S6 - best way to replace stolen key?

[Lee Levitt]

Call AAA and have your car flatbedded from the airport to the 
dealer. Then have the dealer make a new key, take taxi from 
airport to dealer...

Might be helpful to have someone with the car when they do 
this...

Just an idea...
