RE: Okay, how F***ed am I
quick update...
Called a few locksmiths...
One started talking about taking the lock cylinder out (i dont think that necessary). He also doesn't guarantee that'll it'll come out - $75.00
The other one specializes with motorcycles and scooters. Just by talking to him on the phone he seems kinda difficult to deal with - $150.00 (didn't say anything about guaranteeing the work but seemed confident)
Anyone know of any places in Maryland...(preferably the Baltimore/Pikesville/Reisterstown area)???

Update:
Well, I got the key out!!!!!!!
There was no way that a toothpick/paperclip/lock picking tools(that I bought) or tweezers could have gotten that piece out. Not that it was too small or anything, there was just no way near enough space to maneuver.
So I took the ignition apart. Very easy task once you get past the damn locktyte on the two bolts holding it in place...let me tell you how much of a PITA that was.
With the ignition apart and the actual locking mechanism in my hand my lock picking tools still couldn't get the job done (maybe i lack skill in this department)
Took the thing to a locksmith...FIVE minutes and FIVE dollars later I was on my way home with a new key in on hand and my lock in the other!!!! Mind you that I called EVERYWHERE in the Towson/Baltimore/Reisterstown area...there are NO brick and mortar locksmiths...like NONE everyone is MOBILE which is lame cause they were trying to charge me from 75-150+ for a five minute job.
If you have lock issues like myself and live in either one of those three areas, check out Easters Lock N Key on Loch Raven Boulevard...great place

RE: Okay, how F***ed am I
I called 3 honda dealers when I lost my key for my 06. I had that little tag with the numbers on it and they all told me that was nice and all but I needed to buy a whole new ignition/key set. I thought, "wtf is this tag for?!" oh well, I found my spare key and still haven't made copies of it... I suppose I should??
