    Yes / No... a 95 will have EWS... ie the key has a microchip, you should be able to stick the key and and then turn over the car with a screw driver, however....

    You still got to deal with the steering wheel lock and if she is an auto the tranny lock.

    edit:after looking it looks like they are still working correct if you can turn the part after you pull it out... not sure on that however...
