Anybody use it? If so, where did you put it?

I can't find enough exposed metal (without crawling under the car) to stick it to.

Remember, this forum is visible to the whole world. Be careful when getting too specific.

A spare plain key (no plastic thumbgrip) will fit pretty well in even the smallest wallets.

But what if I lose my wallet or it gets stolen? Now they have my license which could have an accurate location of my vehicle and/or home.

Fishwire. That's all you need.

just in front of the ABS control. Not a great idea to reach for it if the car is hot though.

Whenever i get a new car, the first thing i do is get two spare keys made. One goes in my wallet and i give the other one to my sister. Haven't been locked out in years...

I have one right under the driver door handle

There should be enough metal there to keep it in place(yes of course underneath the car, so no need for cranks

) But now that I told you i'll have to look for a new spot

That's gotta be the most insanely retarded thing I've ever heard of in my life. The first thing a car thief checks for is whether the door is unlocked or not, and finding the damn key there would just make it 100x easier. Congratulations, now he can just start the car by himself and drive away.

knocks on wood

but i've never locked myself out of my car before. considering i always have an alarm system on the car with remote locking and unlocking features. i just thought for those people who lose their keys habitually, they could wear it around their necks like a medallion.

i guess they could always wear those kangaroo or whatever sneakers with a pocket on them for a key.
