Poor key fob shape 2/10 would not drive

Is that an impulse buy?

I’m going to assume you mean the 2005 GT because my Mustang’s key is prettier than that. That’s the same FOB that all Ford cars used in the 2000s.

Key doesn’t matter to me. I wouldn’t care if it were a skeleton key.

Really? I prefer keys like this. Plus cheaper to replace.

It having a skeleton key would make it 100% more badass.

Looks like and old Fiesta keyfob.

They should try a new approach to lighweght keys like Porsche did in the 60s

the old was probably jsut as pedestrian, straight from the ford parts bin

if this didn’t have the FORD GT logo, you could say it’s a key for your 1996 Taurus and nobody would question you.

Ford’s response

Wow that almost looks like the key and fob that the Windstar at work had 10 years ago. Minus the nifty Ford GT lettering.

That was the same key fob that came with my 1998 Escort.

Oh god really? THAT is the key to a $450,000 car?!?

There is nothing wrong with that.

That’s the same key fob my dad’s 2001 f250 used. Also: you have ford GT keys? Do you have the car those keys go to?

Welllllll, the answer is “old.” The 2005/2006 Ford GT is the “old” GT.

My escort from 1998 didn’t have a key. Unless you count cash of course.

The good old standard Ford key fob.

Obviously a car from the 1960s doesn’t have a FOB. Lol

Does it have that cool green LED readout on the radio, too? #partsbin

Exactly the same as the Ford Fiesta (Brazilian market)

Now everytime I have to drive my mother in law’s Fiesta I’ll know the ignition key is the same as the Ford GT, lolololol

Forget a $450000 car, I’d be worried if that was the key and fob to a new Kia.

My 05 Focus has the same.

I actually don’t think it’s disappointing, at the end of the day it’s a Ford albeit quite a rare and special Ford but a Ford nevertheless. It pretty much represents the company that built it, powerful V-8s, no frills and straight forward and reliable mechanicals. You want to look all fancy with your key fob? Buy a Ferrari. The Ford GT has it where it matters and needs nothing else. There are two ways to show off power, being over the top and with the bite to match the bark or the sleeping giant route where the impact comes from where you least expect it.

This is a key to launch an ICBM, pretty disappointing right? It’s not the key that is important but what that key goes to.

That’s the best part. Nobody is going to be looking for a parts bin key and key fob to steal.

It was the same for every Ford of that era, the family Windstar had it, my friend’s Ford F truck from high school had it!

Same fob used in literally ever single Ford before 2007.
