Or is it too late for that?
The car still won't start.
I rolled it backwards out of the garage and down the driveway and let out the clutch.
That didn't work either.
And I think I screwed up the steering when I disabled the interlock thing because it steered all wonky and now it's ass end into a ditch at the end of my driveway.
Do NOT use a claw hammer in this case. Your automobile may grow claws!

The ball peen hammer was a good start, but you need to use a larger hammer.
Get a BFH, perhaps a 12 pound sledge (although there might not be enough room to swing it properly inside the car, you may have to remove the roof). Several blows with a BFH should end the annoying message on the screen.
