i want one that's impressed by the damn car!
Maybe it's just me, but the plain black plastic key is ugly... Am I in the minority, heh?

mine is in my pocket where no one can see it, including me. is it so ugly to you that its ugliness is pocket-penetrating? sort of like reverse x-ray ugly vision? Just put a bag over its head. Wait... that's for something else...

yes the chrome upgrade looks nicer, but it's still just a car key. i really don't think any one catching a glimpse of my plain black plastic key will think any less of me.

And I promise you this: if anyone EVER says to me "nice car, ugly key" , or even just "ugly key", I will be right back here to post it.

I had this exact one and lost it! I was soo pi$$ed off. Mine was solid brushed aluminum thought. So clean.

The construction is VERY solid and I'm not sure but I think that it'd be near indestructible, short of melting it. It's deceivingly hefty, but I regularly run with it in my shorts pocket without a problem.

Anyway, I've seen it at a different MB dealership since, MB of Hoffman Estates, if you're interested.

Even though it's cool, I like to keep my keys very slim in my pocket so it doesn't bug me. I have the car key, house key, mailbox key, and office key, that's it. Same thing with my wallet, it's one of the slim style ones that doesn't have 18 different pockets.
