That's the one thing I actually hate about my new Camaro. That key is so awkward and annoying

I'd imagine it would be annoying, having that entire thing stick out from the ignition.

I prefer to keep my fob separate, helps when I warm up the car, I can just lock & unlock it from the outside.

It's actually more annoying to me. If you only want to carry a key sometimes and not all of your other keys, then buy a quick-release for your keychain.

That's how I have my Monte key attached to all of my other keys, so when I'm driving around I don't have all of the weight on the ignition cylinder.

The switchblade is annoying because it is so bulky that it's hard to even add keys to it, so I wind up carry the Monte keys along with me just to have all of my house keys and stuff too haha.

I like the idea and they're cool, just not sure how well it would work.
