We recently bought a new car, and the key is the fob, and the fob is the key:
So, is the concept of the spare key dead? I've always had a spare key hidden with a magnet thing somewhere in the bowels of the car, just in case. I rarely used it, but boy was it a lifesaver. I think it's a plot by the auto manufacturers to get you to buy OnStar or something similar. I really don't want to put the spare fob underneath my car, and I'm guessing these suckers are expensive anyway. Anyone else dealt with this? The older I get, the more likely it is that I'll need this, probably when I most need to find a restroom.
