I have lost my key to my car and can' afford to replace it yet. Now my roommate wants the vehicle moved back onto the street. Only problem is the steering is locked so i can only move back and forth but no turning. How can i move my vehicle back onto the street?

Hello and welcome to 2CarPros. To be able to push it out you will need 2 wheel dolly's for the front wheels and lots of man power. You can get them at Harbor Freight.

To be honest, it would just be cheaper to buy a key to get it unlock. You can always program it at a later date. You can also call a Lock Smith to make you a key blade just so you can unlock it and push it out.
