I don't mind having the fobs, but I HATE this *&^%^&* push button start and stop!!! Don't know how many times I've parked and walked away, fob in hand , with the truck running....

Feel like I put in 8 hours of labor, but it was just two kids. In the first few minutes, 9 year old grandson swinging a Wii controller knocked his little sister off her feet, and she just didn't get tired of letting us know she didn't like that. At least she still liked sitting in the sidecar. Not going anywhere, she likes to just sit in it in the garage. Not sure why just sitting there is so much fun, I get tired of watching her in 5 minutes or less. Can't leave her in the garage by herself, that place has too many things in it that take pieces off of careless people.

First winter in Minnysota, below zero, locked the keys in the car at werk. Hour late getting home, had to go back in the shop and make a locked door opener. Next day put car keys only on a separate keychain, and a second set of car keys and all the other keys on another that stays in my pocket. Still do that today.

During one particularly grueling cold winter storm back in the early 90s I started my car and then close the door and then realized I just locked my keys in my running car. You know how hard it is to use a wire hanger to open a car door when it's 15 below?

Al the great thing about fobs is you can never lock your keys in the car
