[s-cars] Alarm has killed the ignition - can't start/move the car - NEVERMIND!

[McCall, Randy]

Answered my own question- searched the AW forums and saw something about
using the hatch to unlock all doors - the hatch lock more or less
survived the crash, and shut the alarm down!  Car is now indoors resting
before "organ donor surgery" in what's shaping up to be an early winter
rainy season in Oregon....

Cheers,

-Randy
