It does look good. It would challenge my OCD essence in it's unprotected state!

Meanwhile , @jl199986 I loved that scene, both in the book and the movie. It's called bone.

@vic viper admittedly your key looks undamaged, but man, do I detect a speck of dust or two? For shame!

Sadly, my main key has a modest scuff on one of the corner from dropping it on the road. Egad. The cover puts it out of site out of mind. I daren't use the "second" key; it is hermetically sealed inside my safe.
Being the ever inquisitive type, I asked Car Warehouse about the shipping and received the following response:

Hello Rod,

The shipping label was generated and printed automatically prompting us to prepare your order for shipping. The parcel is with our shipping partner earlier this week and it is in transit to the shipping facility. You should receive additional shipping updates later today and delivery is estimated to be within the next few business days.

Many thanks!

Ha! Love it.

Burl Loomis, a character on the Netflix show, The Good Cop, dryly delivered all five of those -- my two and your three -- in the show's first and only season. Four were in one scene; second episode, I think. Anyway, that's where I got 'em. If there are more in a book, and you think of the title, I'd hunt it down.

Actually, there is a reason a dime is smaller than a nickel. Back when coins were made of more semi-precious metals, dimes were made of silver and nickels of copper. The dime therefor was made smaller, but was worth more.

And B Batteries kinda' sorta' did exist: http://mentalfloss.com/article/12325...re-b-batteries

You completely got me as to why the Flinstones celebrate a holiday clearly started past their historical point of existence, but then it is just fiction anyway. So we can say it's not really historically accurate fiction. LOL

Thank you...I stand corrected. She would say, "that doesn't make sense" and he would reply with one of the above. LOL. Also, he frequently reminded anyone who would listen that he doesn't run. Entertaining show, but you had to have seen it to appreciate the humor.

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet. That’s how World War 1 started.

Wow......I had no idea Al Gore was that old!

For anyone who doesn't get that, look it up. Just Google Al Gore and Internet.

Absolutely! It means one doesn't have to fiddle with the fob to ensure it's not in direct contact with something which could scratch it, thus better ensuring driver attention to well, driving. See, there is a method to one's OCD madness!

It also makes the key less slippery in hand.

Do they make an e450wagoncondom? Be lovely to protect the car from the harsh environs of winter!

But seriously, think about all the folks that cover their phones in the most disgusting looking covers. Yes, buy that gorgeous phone with the lustrous polished aluminum back and chamfered edges, but then protect it with 1 cm thick of cruddy rubber. Steve Jobs is likely rolling in his grave.

On cell phone cases, guilty as charged as well! Only I don't use disgusting looking cases. My iPad is cased as well, but it's also quite functional as the case on it is a Bluetooth Keyboard case (backlit keys and all)!

If we were to fast reverse back to the 50's and 60's, you guys would be talking about putting plastic covers on your cars seats...then again...
