My car doesn't start with a normal "key", its a push button. We spent a weekend about 5 hours from our home, at the Outer Banks, it was beautiful. My daughter has developed a habit of throwing things in the trash. When we went to checkout, my key "fob" was nowhere to be found.

Normally, a locksmith or even a dealer could fashion a new key. But this new "technology" meant that they needed to special order a key. 5-7 days. I have to rent a car. Something as simple as a little "fob" has rocked our world for two days now.

I've scoured all the dealerships in the Carolina's for one. Finally found it.

"Hum of progress?" I'll stick with a "key"

Sorry for hijacking your craziness, I just needed a rant and thought it was tangentially related.
