Cars Today Do Not Come With Keys
Cars today do not come with keys.
You are handed a little elongated remote fob thing.
Silver and black, looks science fiction-ish.
If you are me, you think there is a button somewhere.
If you flick it, the teeth of the key will appear like a switchblade.
But
N

That does not happen.
It is a keyless car; you have to have the fob to start it
But there is a start button.
It took me several tries and the delivery man jumped in twice.
He explained it, and I jumped back in.
But I did not get it until the second time.
The trick is – you have to put your foot on the brake and keep it there
Until you push the start button and hear it start.
If it has a real soft engine, you do not hear it at all.
I was terrified we had bought a car I could not ever start.
