If this is the worse thing that ever happens to you, consider yourself lucky

While it is a lot of cash to put out, I actually thought it would have been a lot more money.

Although I have not lost them permanently, I can appreciate your frustration!

Tough news. But the feeling will pass as you put more miles on the Corvette and smiles on your face.

Dumbass is what you feel when you just paid $65.00 for a fob on E-bay, like I just did. Did you you could buy them from Chevy for less then $50.00

My fob only cost $35 and key was $6.00 from the dealer and they reprogrammed it. It is funny how prices very from dealer to dealer.

Default Yes it is



I've bought 4 vettes from this dealer - you think I'd get a break.

I'm even a GM employee - still no discount.........

I figured I find the other set just to add insult to injury.

Default First Time

A relative ask to see the car so I went and got the keys so they could have a look. I remember they handed them back to me and that was the last time I saw them.

Remember - just say "No" when someone wants to see your car and you won't lose your keys...

First set I've EVER lost!

It was almost worth the money just watching the dealership trying to re-program both sets.
