Why damnit that pesky 155mph limit on German cars better go as well. If car can't hit 200 it is just an accident waiting to happen!]]>Oct 6th 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/Oct 6th 2008 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/Oct 6th 2008 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/Oct 6th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/]]>Oct 6th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/Oct 6th 2008 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/Oct 6th 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/Oct 6th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/06/ford-mykey-lets-parents-control-their-kids-driving-habits/
