So, has anyone tried getting the Smart Card Key?

Hmmmm, that brings up an interesting question. I thought somewhere in the 1000+ pages of the manuals, or maybe it was in a print review, I read that if the car drives off without the electronic key that it would stop running after a brief distance. Does anyone know about this?
Anyhow, with all the traffic, I barely made it on time to drop him off at the drive through drop/pick up area. Needless to say, I was THIS close from forgetting that he had my key in his pocket. We really enjoyed that laugh.

I'll have to try it...

My Miata came with one. 
It also does the proximity thing - I've never used the 'buttons' on it.
On each door is a tiny rubber button that locks/unlocks the door is the key is in range. Under lid of trunk has a tiny rubber pad you touch to open also.
Works great.

I have been following up with my dealer on the smart card key and this week they were able to order it. Came in overnight and I just came back from picking it up and getting it programmed. Smart card key was $299.33 and $47.95 for programming. Fits in my wallet just like a credit card (albeit slightly thicker). Works great and best of all it's one less thing to carry in my front pocket!
