It's a catchy little metal one with the emblems and it says "Corvette" on it....not too flashy but still looks great. No camera to take pics though...sorry.

HAHAhA I use a Harley Davidson one also, but mine came with a dog collar we bought for the mutt. Kind of an extra tidbit.
It is a black all leather one :cool:

I have two plastic pieces that my kids made me in first grade. They are 11 and 8 now and always like to see their keycain in the Vette. I don't have the heart to go back to the Vette key chain. It is not the type of thing you like to whip out at a Corvette gathering but it holds the keys.

Mine is just a plain old ring that i picked up when i started college a decade ago. It used to have my univeristy's logo on it, but that was lost years ago. It has served me well through the years of motorcycle riding year round(college kids are poor) to a beater corisca, berretta and now my 81 Vette. I probally should get a new one, but i am nostalgic. Its also kinda of like a good luck thing. I just hate throwing out something that is still functional. :crazy:

I am using an old leather/blue Corvette cross-flags emblem which I found in the road in front of my house when I was 12 years old. It matches the interior of my car perfectly and has been with the car since I have owned it- 16 years........weird huh??? :confused: :cheers: :smash:

I can`t hardly stand to have a bunch of stuff in my pockets. So, all I have is the door key and the ignition key on a ring. No dangly things to make the column look like poopie, or to pull on the ignition. Sorry no help here. :D

Good question though. I like this one.

The master link from the original chain off my 1974 Honda CB750. That bike all but killed me last November which is why I decided 4 wheels is better than 2 and ended up with the Vette.

Funny that you mention that because when I was younger and didn't own a Vette I had a Corvette key fob that I would constanlty drop around females and ask my buddy: " Can you pick my 'Corvette' key chain up please" Needless to say it never did any good. :lol:

Now I have a Leatherman utililty pliers that I use if I break down :D

A small leather one that closes around the keys when they are in your pockets etc. I got it from Chuck Smith (carburettor guy) at Monterey this year. Stops the column getting scratched and is only a littel bigger than the keys themselves when not in the car... Have to be careful not to loose it though!
