David, you need to start a go-fund-me so you can buy the company out and be the big boss so you can delegate everything.

no thanks. I want no responsibility in that dept.

The boss wanted to make this a Tues - Thurs every week. I said no. At this point it looks like every other week. No weekend time off for me I get to catch up on what Glen would call the bosses wife list of things to do.

So buy the company, then retire and sell it!

Thanks for the reminder. I need to find somewhere that has Porsche key blanks. I suspect I won’t find an old Porsche key at Home Depot.

Yea, I had to go to a locksmith to get a new all metal key. The local Ace hardware had the key, but it had a ugly black plastic glob on the head of it. The Porsche key had a plastic head, but it was OEM, and I have had a key that looks like that in my pocket since 1974.

I asked the locksmith if the battery in the key was replaceable and he assured me he had transferred the old battery functions and reprogrammed the key to work as before. Now I just need to wait several years for the ugly chrome to wear off.

It was less than 20 cents per year for the cost of the keys. I think it was .000015 per mile. The calculator just say it is 1.504109589041096e-5 and that is not something I recognize.

$5.49 over 365,000 miles. I suspect I am the only human on the planet trying to figure the cost of replacement keys every 28 years.

I think if the boss finds out you are wasting that much time on a key he might cut off your beer supply.

Hey, he just made me go drive the 911 to get the oil hot enough to check the oil level. I know where he keeps the beer.

wait till he changes the lock on the fridge.

928 key both the battery AND light is replaceable, but ain't no programming.
Can get the main key with 2 different plastic ends. One has a silver logo, the other is gold and is painted.
There are also a shorter valet key that has either a red or a black plastic end.

The Cayenne keys don't themselves program, the vehicle has to be programmed to accept the key codes.

Ya I lucked out when I lived in OK and dad a key blank in all his keys from the car lot days so I could cut my own. Don’t think this car will take a VW blank though. 🤣

Yea, one of my high school buddies dad was a tow truck driver. Back in the stone ages of the 1970s there were very few foreign cars. His dad had a big ring of keys that could open the door of any of the big three makers.

No remote key fobs, cell phones, or internet. Certainly no Hyundai, Honda or Tesla.

As far as I know besides ordering a key from the dealer there is only one locksmith in town that cuts 928 keys. Was told it was because they are steel.

928 keys are an odd shape too. I suspect most places don’t have the right cutter.

Morning all. Back home last night. Now to file expenses and do some work.

What really sucks is the old key was worn enough I could slide it out of the ignition with the engine running. I could leave it running with my wife in it with the AC on and run into get milk or whatever and take my keys. Now I will have to leave my keys in it.

Under normal conditions my keys are in my pocket, or the door or ignition. I only take my keys out of my pocket when I go to bed. I never have to look for my keys. Ever. I have never lost a key in my life.

there is a first time for everything.......

For my second car my Brother wanted me to buy the company Treasurer's son's car. A 65 Chevelle with a slant 6. The keys were a flat blade screwdriver! Both door and ignition. And about every 3rd time you stopped, you had to pop the hood and giggle the 3 on the tree linkage with pliers to be able to put it in gear. Said, I don't think so. Maybe if it had been an SS or a 396, but not a 4 door slant 6 with issues.

Way back when I first got the Elky in 1991, the keys were new, and still had the GM logo on them. I could not pull them out while the engine was running. They have been worn down so long I can't remember how long it has been. The only keys I carry are the 911 key, the two for the Elky and my house key. The house key is the same one since we moved in here 21 years ago. It too is worn down with no logo anymore. It gets way less use, by a ton. Most of the time we come in the house from the garage. We have just one key that fits the knob and the deadbolt on the house.

my 79 Camaro was that way. pull the keys while driving down the road.
