RobertMcNjr Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I miss the days where you could go to any hardware store and say "I need a spare key" and they would say "No problem!" Now a days I get, "Oh we can't do that, that's a ""special type of key""" that only the dealer can make or a locksmith possibly" Who will then charge you an arm and a leg for a spare. I just want a spare just in case, 2 or 3. These newer vehicles coming out with their electronic keys can kiss my you know what, seems like any model of vehicle from 2k to now requires you to go to the dealer for a spare. Done ranting, thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 My work car doesn't have a key. Just a fob in your pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 It sucks be the fancy electronic keys stop auto theft. Living by Detroit some I would see Dodge Ram pickups on a flatbed towtruck stripped all the time in the mid 2000's Dodge didn't have the best anti theft at the time back then Honda had some cars too that were very easy to steal. It sucks but its the way of the world some cars you can start with a smartphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I remember going to the dealership after we bought my wife's van. We were in for some recall work and I told the guy why don't you cut me a key while I'm here just to have one. Not a problem he said. 100 bucks for the key and 125 to program it. I almost fainted! Technology is great but dang! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 My jeeps the same way. The thing is the push button pops off and the key fob actually has a key hidden it, just for emergencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
