Show Your Keychain!!!
 
As some may know, I have recently been reunited with my old TR6. I was really hoping that the British flag keychain I used to have would still be with the car but sadly, it was not. So, I found a bit of a different one. This one looks like the decals that are on the quarter panels with TR6 splitting the British flag. I like it and it's different.
Do y'all have a special keychain for a special ride? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0aff97f76e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1d58464ef6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c3f0b314a0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d5753f6258.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9390b759f9.jpg

Can't show it since I gave it to a friend with a '72 teener. One I made myself. It was a 1972 Porsche calendar coin (917 image) backed with leather I took from my old pair of Caulk boots. Was always careful to insert the key so the leather faced the 911S dash when the car was running.

Nope. Mine isn’t a car themed thing. It’s a boring ass Toyota Tacoma anyways. My key chain would be what? Sliced bread made out of titanium?

I carry this. It’s a ferro-rod and magnesium stick combo with a carbon steel striker. I stuffed to rod into a section of silicon tubing to protect it. I drop my keys too many times and failed the glue holding the ferro to mag connection. It’s awesome. There is nothing in the tiny container.

I’ve saved strangers bbq parties where they all forgot a lighter. It will light a gas grill with panache to spare. :)http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1766936915.jpg

One of my favorites is one of my Dad's many AA coins.

No photo of mine. Why? Because I went full minimalist a while back. Only a car key (No house key for the last 21 years.) No wallet (three cards in the back of my phone case) and reading glasses.

Yep. Best key fob I've ever seen.

I keep it minimalist. I hate having a bunch of keys in my pocket, so I have a separate fob for most of my cars.

The "Ford" key ring is for my Ford tractor. The pink one was a spare key the film production company made for my old truck when they leased it for a movie. The one with our "Vintage Truck" magazine fob is a spare for the Porsche I gave to my son.

I had a Porsche badged one for the old E but it went with the car. I keep the "old man's car" key clipped inside my jacket pocket this time of year. I don't like the bulk of key rings. When I was working I kept keys on a belt clip. Those days are gone. :D

Keys are a potential nightmare for me, I have so many. I can’t stand carrying them in my pockets so they are all on various carabiners until I need to pull them off. I have a small fob in my pocket for my newish car, it never comes out and I like that.

Here’s what I have today with me:

Looks like a nitroglycerin tablet holder.

As simple as possible. One key for the Elky, one for the 911, and one for the house. Done. In my entire lifetime I have never had to go looking for my keys. They are either in my pocket, or on my desk where I empty my pockets at night before going to bed and throwing the clothes in the dirty clothes hamper.

I’ve seen key fobs that made me think, “that’s great. I’d like to keep my keys on that.” But I stopped buying them years ago. I’m almost as minimalist as Glen. I keep a split roping with the bare minimum of keys. The only thing that I keep these days is a P38 can opener. I don’t use it often but I have used it many times over the years to open cans, tighten/loosen screws, etc…http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1766965745.jpg

Both my Porsches have the typical leather with the metal Porsche badge + 1 key for work. Tundra has a 917 cast car on it.
For the last 15 years my house had all key pad locks so I had the minimum. Now I’m renting a house and there are keys for door! They made me give a $200 key deposit!
