I have long since resolved never, ever, to buy a vehicle
with that few locks. I'm old fashioned. I got a couple
keyfobs with my Blazer, that don't work even with new
batteries. I havn't spent the money on key fobs. Dont want
em.

As for the house, gee I hope no one locks the door. I
have no idea
where the key is -- even if I have a key. Besides, what
good is a
locked door when someone could just crawl in a window?

Chuckle. My new-to-me minivan that I bought last summer (an
05 to
replace the 95 that I didn't want to replace the
transmission a 3rd time
on), has 2, count 'em, 2, outside keyholes. Drivers door and
tailgate.
The 01 version of the same van had a keyhole on all 5 doors,
like God
and Walter Chrysler intended. (As did my 95, although it had
one less
door.) Key that came with the 05 has buttons on it- not a
seperate fob
(that I could probably deal with), but a key head the size
of a serving
spoon, and a tiny little loop to run the keyring through,
such that if
you use the fob key and other keys together, they will not
fit in a
pants pocket. Total fubar engineering. And because these are
the
'secure' chip keys, it cost me $120 to get 2 halfway-normal
size keys
without the buttons. Still too fat with the padded heads,
but tolerable.
Fob key went in the safe as a backup. But now, every time I
park, I have
to force an unlock of the electric locks, so I can use the
other 3 front
doors. Or if I forget and approach car from curb side, I
have to tell
passengers to wait while I go around and unlock, since there
is no damn
keyhole on that door.

Never understood the appeal of fobs- you are standing at the
door
anyway. Why not just use the key? If you can free up a hand
to dig out
the keyring, you can manage to turn a key in a lock.
