Interesting GL Accessory

I'm not what the size of this key chain is...it looks HUGE in the photo. But then again, the "puck" looked small in the photo & I was shocked at how large it is.

Another nice keyring

I got two of these from my dealer on delivery and although I appreciate the gift, I found it a little too bulky and heavy to use. I ended up using a small ring on the key itself and using that for the two keys I have to have with me.

Steve I am going out today and find a muddy road somewhere and drive back and forth in it until my GL is brown! I may not be able to post a picture for a week or two since I do live in the desert and finding a puddle may take a while.

The key chain will be antiqued today...I have to restore your self-esteem as soon as possible...:-)
