I have a rather long key chain, with my other car alarms etc hanging from it. So anyway as I was merging I bumped my key with my knee and well... shut the car off :S

There you have it, I am truely nut!

Thanks to those for all your support in trying to solve my self inflicted problem!

What if the bunch of crap is a bunch of keys for different cars? Does that regain your manhood points?

LOL.

I completely hate keychains.
I put my office key in my laptop bag.
I put my house key on a small keychain and leave it in the car when I go somewhere.
My car key is on its own keychain with a little Porsche emblem and that is it.

Nope, I have each cars keys on separate rings, only thing that goes near the ignition is a key with a ring on it...

multitude of keys for different cars makes you look like a used car salesman... or a chick

This is close to my getting called to the highschool one day (years ago) when my sister claimed her car would not start.....got in....put it in PARK and it started right up !

A mechanic years ago told me not to keep too much stuff on the keychain, a lot of weight isn't good for the switch.

i was told the same thing, and listened. i told my wife the same thing and she ignores me. maybe if you tell her.... nah, fuggetaboutit, lets just wait till the car wont start and she gets a huge bill that i have to pay to replace the switch.

she got pissed at me when i was driving her car with the crap on the chain, and i took it all off because it was hitting my knee.

Jeez, has it really been six years since your car was stolen??

What happens is you wear out the lock cylinder, and the car will run without a key. At least that is my understanding (and I've seen cars that were like that!).

When I have a lot of keys on a keychain, I have one of those ball lock things where you can press a button, and separate it. Ignition key on one side, all other ones on the other. That's how I did the GTO, when I had an ignition key, door/trunk key, padlock for the hood (had an external release), packlock for the cover, and a "Club."

I'm in the same boat as you, though. My wife has a freakin' key ring bigger than the hoops that Debbie Gibson was wearing 20 years ago.......so she can "find the keychain in the purse." Drives me nuts, and I can't even fit the damn thing in my pocket. So, I've got another set of keys to her Audi. Luckily, the Mazda has a keyless system.

That might be the cheapest fix I've found on Rennlist yet... so +5 points for that.
