The car, other than the spare key, is more of a problem. The car has one of those *&^&^ computer chips, so the car won't work without the special key. This will be the last car I own that has that, unless I have no other choice. Ideally I'd have push button start and keyless entry. This is 2009, why should I need a metal key to operate my car? That's like 11th century technology.
It's becoming very common for a car to require a chipped key for the ignition. The nicer the car is, the more likely it is to have this technology.
My car has remote start and keyless entry, but I still need to put the chipped key into the ignition and turn it on before putting my foot on the brake pedal, or it cuts out.
Some cars are truly keyless and work on RF technology. You stick the key in your pocket and the car unlocks when you walk up to it, and the start button works when you're inside the car. That's pretty neat, but it doesn't make solving the spare key issue any easier.
