Let's see your car keys!

I thought it would be interesting to see what everybody has for car keys and key chains. Every time I buy a car, the first thing I get is a key chain for it So, let's see your sets of car keys!!


Here's a picture of all of mine taken a week or so ago. Clockwise......My Magnum, Duster, Charger, Silver 5.0L Mustang and black 5.0L Mustang.

You've got too many cars!

J/K, I have 4 myself, not a single keychain though.  When I had my 68 I had a keychain that was a metal dish with 'Charger' in the center, red on top and blue on the bottom (or vica versa) and coated with some thick plastic, on a black teardrop shaped piece of leather.  I'd buy that again if I can find it.

Usually I find the keyfob's to be big enough, I don't like too many keys in my pocket.

Cody, are you up to no good since being canned at work?   

Trying to get key photos so you can create duplicates & steal cars for a new income?

-----------------------------------

Ben and his associates over at the University of California at San Diego came up with a way to duplicate keys using a picture of them. They developed an algorithm that uses measurements from known key blanks to extrapolate the bitting code. Because the software is measuring multiple points it can correct the perspective of the photo when the key is not photographed on a flat surface, but from an angle.

They went so far as to test with cell phone cameras and using a telephoto lens from 195 feet away. In most cases, correct keys were produced within four guesses. Don't miss their wonderful writeup PDF detailing how key bitting works, traditional covert duplication methods, and all the details of their process. The lack of available code prevents us all from playing secret agent (or felon) with this idea but Ben did mention that if there is sufficient interest he might release it.

Lock bumping showed us how weak our security is, but this is a bit scary.

Wow, learn something new every day!!!

Can we also see people's credit card numbers please

The keys for my daily driver are on the pistol grip key chain. I think that came with a mopar performance air cleaner I bought from summit years ago but I'm not sure anymore. My charger keys are on the piston keyring. I made that from a 12 volt air compressor that I keep on my ATV. I was tossing it in the trash when it quit working and I thought, "I bet there is a key chain in there".

Charger keys.  The ring appeals to my inner goth.
