That does it. I am going to start storing my fob under my tin-foil hat. That should do the trick! ;-)

Fair Oaks, CA (AP) - Local man gets brain cancer from carrying his car fob under his tin-foil hat. Dr. W. Coyote, noted UCLA brain surgeon, and football coach, said he has requested a grant of $1.4M from the U.S. government to study the effects of wearing tin-foil hats, and to see if the parabolic shaped hat concentrated the EM energy back into the skull. Dr. Coyote is noted for his pioneering work on solar-powered football helmets, and hybrid gas-turbine/high-tension rubber band powered hair dryers.

Please send the address immediately for the people that are considering that grant. I have this idea for using bottle rockets to supplement the EV motor when leaving an intersection so that the ICE does not need to come on for faster starts in commuter traffic!

You can probably get a blank physical key from the parts department and then swap the real key for the blank one when using valet parking.

That's a good suggestion.
