Help! I lost my keys and it's a different rumbled
 
Yep, stupid me lost my keys and it has a swapped ignition tumbler, so taking the title to the dealership is not an option. What are my options? I just want to be able to drive the car, w/ accessories and lights? Everything I've read about removing the tumbler requires the key, any other way? I don't mind compromising the security of my car.

I'll be interested to see what the experts say, but I think you're only option is to replace the tumbler. Not easy, from what I hear. Had to have it done on my 92 when AAA dude broke key in lock.

Hey thank you, I just hope I can find a new tumbler with a key @ the junkyard

What is the car? I have one from a 126 in my parts stash.
