What's on your car key? Looking for recommendations..

So I just got myself a car (3 months old), and am now looking to dress the car key up a little. This is what it currently looks like:



What do you guys have on your car keys?
A keychain? A pouch to hold it? Or plain nude?
Any brands that you would recommend I check out?
Pics would be much appreciated!




And of course, some gratuitous car shots:

How about some little tan pants and a Hawaiian shirt?

Since this is TGP I recommend a relic'ed sunburst paint job, leather strap, three true bypass switches, a super bright LED, and a roller capo for key changes on the fly.

One word: rhinestones. Everything looks better with rhinestones.

I just got rid of a plastic bottle cap opener that I got in college 25 years ago when on spring break. It has always been incredibly handy, and a trustworthy friend. But at some point, it occurred to me that people were looking at me a bit weird that I would have a bottle cap opener with me, at my age. I didn't think so, but others seem to think otherwise. Guess they think I was still trying to act like a college kid.

Of course, I didn't throw it out. I put it in my junk drawer, with all the other highly valuable stuff. Like ticket stubs, pieces of candy, cereal box toys, etc

Leave it as-is. You don't want a bunch of extra crap in your pocket. When you add in house keys, wife's car fob, work locker keys etc you end up with a pokey pile.

+1. Don't get too crazy, Kenneth; two cars, each with a remote control - that makes up a pretty cumbersome pocketful very quick.
