The wonderful key fob. Yes, fob. So many in my family crack up when I tell them the correct name of that black thing attached to their key that locks and unlocks their door as well as creates the all-ignored “panic” alert.

Reports are, GM will be bringing an even better fob in April to rappers and gangbangers around our great nation with the next model of the Cadillac Escalade. The new fob will notify G-Kill-C3P-Oh when his tires need some air and his tank some fuel. Homie will be able to start his car from inside the crib as well as lock it from six times the distance he can today on his bunk ‘07 Caddy. If he’s interested in how many miles his ride has, he’ll be able to get the 411 on dat as well as change XM to all from the new fob. Now homie ain’t trippin’ that this will cost him $150 more since that’s only a few more dimebags and not a whole rock to sell. GM is also saying that if our beloved capitalist loses his fob, it’ll cost less than $100 to replace.

For all us real world folks and law abiding citizens, you’ll be able to pick this up in one of the other great GM SUV offerings as well as other models soon after the release in April, 2008. Until then, keep cool.
