Take your car's title to the Porsche dealer. They will make keys from the VIN. Need the title to prove ownership.

If the car has a clear title, go to Porsche. If you can prove ownership and who you are, Germany can cut you one, they have the key codes that go back arond 20 yrs or so. I'd try that, probably looking at 2wks and 50 bucks. Good Luck

What were (are) you on when you lost them? I've found that if you go back to the influence that made you loose them in the first place it cuts recovery time immensely. Really!

There's a memory trick about car keys: When you set them down, think of them as a grenade, and you just blew up the drawer/fridge/whatever that you set the keys on.

Too bad it doesn't work in retrospect.

Always keep a spare key tucked away in a corner just in case.

Two weeks to get them from Germany!!!!

Can you get blanks locally. Then have a locksmith make you a set.

They just put it in the tumbler and rock it back and forth. That scores the key and they grind it down with a file. Takes like 5 minutes.
