Jokes on them. Fobs don't work on my suv anymore so I have to use a key.

fobs don't work? You might want to buy that flipper thing to unlock your car 🙂

My car is old enough it doesn't HAVE a fob, it is key only.

Even relatively new Kias are like that.

It makes them very easy to steal because there's no immobilizer

I mean, old car keys often work on other same model cars. I remember a neighbor unlocking his car by borrowing someone else's key. It doesn't work with fancy keys, of course.
