Glovebox won't open!!

I've tried turning the key every which way, tugged and pull, lifted, you name it. But, no matter what I can't get the glovebox open.

Any ideas??

The car only came with one key, how do I know if it's the valet key or not?

And if this persists. I just might be drop kicking it.

Or you can drop kick it.... but my first suggestion would work better to get your stuff out without breaking anything, including you leg.

Only one key? Asking for trouble. Good luck breaking into the glovebox.

RX8 dies on idle. Can this be caused by a dirty air box, filter, intake?
