This is just funny...

Nissan recently announced that cell phones can DESTROY their
programmable keys. When this happens the key cannot be reprogrammed, it is dead.

This is not a Ford vs or whatever, I just think it's funny.
" Hello Lois, yeah I'll be right over -- wait a minute, the car won't start.

What is the source of that information? Most keys have a tiny ant. inside of them and it is nothing more then a vibrating piece of metal.

Heard Cell phones are killing Honey bees. No proff from me but if true it may mess up the food chain and none of us will need key's. Sep maybe for the Pearly Gates.
