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

[Tom Winter]

Yes, but AAA wants you to have a key. I'm leaning towards scheduling the
locksmith to show up upon my arrival at the air. If the timing is right,
then it won't be too painless. . .

The reality is that my time is at a premium right now, so I need this to be,
literally, turn-key. LOL!
