   Rental car had one of those things.  With a regular key, there's a   
   convenient place to put it while you're driving -- IN THE KEYHOLE.  With   
   the fob, you have to put it in a pocket, a purse, or just leave it   
   somewhere -- requiring you to find it when you get out of the car.  You   
   can't just leave it in your pocket or purse because you have to push the   
   damn button to lock/unlock the car.  I know the high-end cars work that   
   way, but how many people are going to buy a Lexus so they don't have to   
   hunt for their keys?   
      
   I REALLY want there to be cars with crank windows, physical doorlocks,   
   real throttles and brakes... you know, like back when we were kids and   
   could fix our own cars.
