WTF good is a key that won't start the engine? If some idiot is going to steal my car they're going to do it with or without the lame security chip. The result is I have to carry that dumbass huge crap on my keyring for no good reason. There's no other solution. It sucks.

Funny thing is, my insurance deductible is only slightly higher than the cost of a new key for this car, so what's the use to me of that security feature if it doesn't even save me anything - whether the car gets ripped off or not? If we have more than two drivers in the family, plus one spare, those two extra keys have now exceeded the cost of my deductible. So again I ask, why should I like that gigantic key? It saves me nothing, in fact costs me more than a stolen car would, and it's a pain in the @ss to carry around.

The conclusion for me is, I will rate my own convenience much higher than security of the vehicle. Add to that the fact that most car security features don't really stop thieves anyway, and you've got a whole lot of effort and hassle for nothing.

At this rate, they might as well just disable the car completely to keep it from getting stolen. That way, nobody can steal it because it's totally nonfunctional. In exchange for that security feature I simply have to get used to the minor inconvenience of never being able to use the car. Call me silly, but it's really not that far off.
