Lost my key... Found my key

Accidentally threw away my keyfob while cleaning my room the other day. Could have been in one of six trash bags or two storage bins. I didn't realize till the garbage bags were basically being carried out of the garage on the way to the dump.

Those keys are EXPENSIVE! Panic!

Came up with this brilliant Idea:
Took turns putting bags near the door and seeing if it would unlock. Found the key in five minutes. Thank god for proximity key. Saved me hours of searching through my garbage bags.

Anyone asking if the Limited is really worth it. In this situation yes! (heated seats are nice too)

Happy Thanksgiving All!

Damn right they are expensive! I lost both keys. (I have regular keys, no prox sensor) They counter guy tells me "$150 for the first key & $100 for each additional key!" What a waste of $250...

That's one thing I say to customers when I hand them their new car keys. "This metal tag is a key code, should you ever need to replace a lost key. DON'T lose them though, because they've VERY expensive to replace."
