i left a set of Mechanix gloves on the front bumper of a Jeep one time. Drove about 5 miles to the part store, came out with my purchase and my gloves were still there.

You don't have to worry about things like this if you drive a WS6

There is no such thing as centrifugal force, it's a myth. The force that causes things to move in an arc or circle is called centripetal force, it's a force pointing at the center of rotation. What people call "centrifugal" force is actually Newton's first law, which states that objects in motion tend to stay in the same motion unless acted on by another force...so it's not a force at all. In the case of turning, that force is centripetal force. There is actually no "force" pushing you to the outside of the corner, what you feel is centripetal force pushing you toward the center of the circle.

What would cause your key fob to become lost, is actually a lack of centripetal force required to keep it on the same turning radius as the car.

I know I'm smart ***, but I didn't pay $100k for a degree in physics for nothing.

After reading this post, I will always ask for my key (fob) before I even start the car. If they tell me it's in the car, I will find it and put it in my pocket before starting. Just have to modifiy your common sense when you have a keyless car.

What time did it read? Just thinking you could have found out who ran it over with some basic detective work. :icon17:

I thought they gave him someone else's Nissan fob..? I have my piloti keychain on mine so easier to distinguish if mine or not.
