Cost of replacement key?
Anyone know the approximate cost of getting a replacement key? Is it a pain in the butt to get it replace from the dealer? Thx in advance

FYI, each of my cars (Porsche, MBZ, and even my 1999 Jeep) has these new fangled electronic keys. So I take a really tiny piece of paper with my home phone number on it, and tape it onto the back of the fob with clear tape. You can also use a label maker if you're more **** retentive. Anyway, the way I look at it is if I lose the key, at least someone who finds it knows who to call, and it could save me $150 smackers. If you are careful with a pen and tape, or with a label maker, it doesn't look goofy -- well, okay, maybe a little, but to save $150 and the hassles of a reprogram, I'm okay with it.

I don't think it would help if it's a mobile number.
I just googled my home phone number and the only information given was the city it was located in - and it lists the wrong city! I also have an unlisted number.

Has anyone told you that you look a lot like Al Pachino?
Just saying.

No, I don't believe anyone's ever told me I look like Al Pacino. I've been told I look like Charles Bronson, but not Al Pacino I don't believe.
Besides, how would you know what I look like to wonder if anyone has told me I look like Al Pacino?
Ohhhh, you must be referring to my avatar pic. That's Robert De Niro. Must be the goatee he's wearing that might possibly make him look a little like Al Pacino - though I gotta admit, that's quite a stretch.
