Default Re: Does a ford ranger need a CHIP key?

Ace Hardware stores are now selling full transponder keys for $69.

Thieves usually think: Why steal a Ranger when it is just as easy to steal an F150?

it's called anti theft, you might as well leave your door unlocked too cause now anyone with a screw driver can steal it.

It's a Family Guy reference -

Can you imagine this conversation in real life? 12 guys standing around a table with a key on it saying the same things over and over again for a week?

We have strangled every ounce of life out of the key subject, right? I bet threads regarding the inner workings of engines are 200 pages long!

i figured it was a family guy reference...but with such a short reference in typing instead of an actual voice...it was hard to tell.

i mean, you could unsubscribe to the thread, you dont have to read it...the dude asked a question, everyone is trying to help

Hey man I'm just goofing - it seems I get a lot of static and more than once I've been flamed for no reason. One guy told me to shut up and leave the forum. He got so nasty over nothing!

There's an ancient proverb that says "The taking of offense lies in the bosom of the stupid one" so I try not to be offended at what people say to me and it's a shame people take offense over insignificant things.

Notice my avatar and username - I just have a sense of humor!
