Will putting a screwdriver in your ignition **** your car up?

Answer 1

I've lost the key to a few old bangers over the years, drilled out the ignition and used a screwdriver, and other then the lock barrel the rest of the car was fine, so you should be ok.

Answer 2

yes and that is why keys don't look like s***w drivers moron

Answer 3

Generally, yes.  The new the care, the more definite the yes.

Pre 1970; and your probably okay doing that.
