naw it dont have a clicker and the car isnt there. i do tires and if i can find a model of the car i can look through the paper work and find out who it is and call them to tell them to pick it up.

Plenty of Acuras came with red keys. Once they started doing the embedded chips they provided the red keys as "master keys."

I don't think thy were supposed to be used to start the car. If I remember correctly, they had all the transponder info in them and were used to program new keys in the event of lost keys. It's apparently nearly impossible to get new keys made if you've lost your red key without spending hundreds of dollars on new transponder stuff.

just a hunch but could honda/acura figure out who it belongs to using the cut on the key to trace it back to the vin?

yeah i google searched it and it said like 1st gen rls. but apparantly there are more i guess i can call all the acura owners in my paperwork.

on a side note. i heard about your car at the tte car wash. my boy brian went gaga over you car.
brian: "dude i found the winner of the low-low award"(low-low = lowrider award)
me: " word?, what is it?"
brian: " a clean ass da with some white walls and some ,check this part out, green steelies. he was TUCKING WHITE WALLS ON GREEN STEELIES IT WAS SICK"
