Dumb question, need creative answer...

Re: Dumb question, need creative answer...
You know, that's not a crazy idea. The harder they make it to carry keys around, the more likely I am to do this. These anti-theft efforts are really becoming counter-productive. Now we're hearing reports that people just break in to your house to get the keys when they realize they can't hotwire the car. Now that's a bigger problem than a stolen car in my book. Plus replacing the key and fob costs more than my insurance deductible on a stolen car. So tell me, why should I want a key with a chip in it?

I have been dreaming of a simple flat metal key ever since I bought my HCHI. I have looked and searched far and wide and the consensus is that it's impossible. There's an immobilizer chip in that horrible **** of a key, so aside from sawing off the metal part, drilling a hole in the stub for the keyring, and gluing the **** to the steering column, there isn't much that can be done about it. Pisses me off every day.

Thanks gumby. I hadn't realized that this was my first post
I picked up my HCHII in May last year and found this site very shortly thereafter. Lots of excellent information and tips for a new hybrid owner. It seems that someone was always asking my question before I did so I've been lurking ever since.
Almost a year into hybrid ownership and still loving it. It's like driving a video-game

That's funny, I feel the same way. I watch the instant fuel economy meter constantly when I drive. I actually enjoy my 35 mile trip to work every morning, as it is a challenge to squeeze a couple more tenths of a mpg out of each trip. Although my coworkers just don't get the thrill of the difference between 53.5 and 53.8 mpg. They are just jealous.
