    Tell said relative that's he or she is a dumbass for leaving your keys in the ignition and needs to fork up the money and call the locksmith.

    Pop one of the grilles out and you can reach back there and unlatch it.

    You can try to get the window down enough where you can take a coat hanger and try to shimmy it down enough to pull the door unlock.

    Call the locksmith give them your vin they may be able to provide you a key w/ the microchip.. Just so you can unlock your door won't start the car or anything but helpful in situations like this.

    Yup, the hood latch is very easily accessible with one of the grills out(two screws).

    A lot of times you don't even have to pull the screws out. The grilles and screw inserts (that pop into the bumper, what the screw goes in) will pop out in one piece. But if you have acess to a screwdriver, definitely the way to go.

    with a screw driver you should be able to push the rod where the cable hooks to it. this will pop the hood open.
