I prefer the traditional mechanical key, because first and foremost it is reliable and safe

second, i do not trust the electronic stuff, because there are people out there who know how to defy it, and secondly, this requires electric power which is kind of scarce nowadays.

When I first started seeing people use those keyless entry clickers I wanted to do the same. It seemed very cool, and certainly convenient.

But then when I bought a car that had them, I quickly decided I didn't want to carry an extra thing in my pocket. I already carry too much. Plus, twice I set off my alarm by bending over with the clicker in my tight pants. So now I only carry my metal key. But that causes a new problem.

Years ago, if I drove a bunch of friends somewhere, when we got there everyone would lock the door when they got out of my car or ask me if I wanted it locked. No more. NO ONE EVER locks the door when they get out of my car. No one even asks. Everyone just assumes that I'll take care of that with my clicker, which I don't carry.
