> Have you locked your keys in the car?
> Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy >someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car >and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone >from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door >and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near >the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from >having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object.
