Default Key?What do you do with it?
Just curious how many members carry the key fob and the key or just the fob?
Maybe i shouldnt say...but i hide the key on the car in case battery would die and just carry the fob in pocket....or should i have just assumed this is what everyone does anyways?
Any interesting hiding spots or should we not say?

Use the search. Maybe you'll find it. There has been a thread about this before. Maybe a month ago.

Mine is hidden under the car and I hope I will never see again. I did check it to make sure it is still there.

I never really understood this question. Seems like most folks need to carry a house key with them, since you're already doing that you might as well put the Corvette key on the ring too. Fob, with attached ring holding Corvette key and house key in left pants pocket.
