Bad Damn Luck!
So on my way home from warped tour, i am about a mile from my house when i fell i have a flat tire. i get it home an try an put the spare on, well wouldnt you know on the last lug nut the damn KEY broke(not the lug nut). So now i have to wait for my tires to come before i can even take it to the shop to get new tires on. Then yesterday my moms tire blew out an shreded the tire, she also has some tuner wheels, so thats another expensive tire to wear,atleast she is only gettin onetire..........i figiured i would just let you guys now my hell with cars right now.

take it off yourself, it may sound hard but it is very easy, i had to do this to all four keylocks on my car because it didnt come with one.
find a socket, a little smaller than the lug nut and hammer it on, be careful not to hammer the rim (i did twice). begin to unbolt.
try it, its very easy.

if you do that i will fly back from the u.k and choke the shit out of you.
go down to a place called tire world i think. but they sell mainly rims, and shit out of there. its a big building that has "wheels" in big blue and red letters on the roof. and they ususally have a jacked up truck with monster truck tires out front...but its down 60 towards brandon on the left side. ( i think its just after 60 turnes into adamo drive).. take the socket to them, its a universal GORILLA socket. theyre about 8$ for a new one. but if you tell them you bought that one there they might give you a new one for free. or if you cant find that place take the socket to any rim shop, and ask them if they sell gorilla lugs and sockets. like i said they are universal and not keyed. ( i prolly should have im'd you now your rims are gonna get jacked.) anyways, please dont use that gator thing. besides i dont think it will fit in the hole. good luck pimpin.
