LOL, Actually I used it to scare a little kid once. He was about to put his grubby paws on my freshly washed car. I found it hilarious, the kid, not so much.

I usually use it when I go to concerts. I always forget where I park, and it's interesting to hit that panic button. I'm 4/4 when it comes to having someone standing near the car when I finally get there.

It also happened at the rodeo recently (but that one was funnier). When I got to the car and turned off the alarm, the family standing nearby was all smiles. The Dad said, "I looked at my wife and told her I didn't do anything. She didn't believe me! Thank God you showed up."

I take my truck to public events lol If you give that a door ding, eh screw you it has loads already lol. It's big, I can find it anywhere, except maybe parked in Texas (I'm sure it would be stolen in a heartbeat haha).

OP: Yes I have had FOB degradation. Worse looking than your own. It is even peeling on the middle one now.

I have never been cut, and plan on using it until it is completely peeled and beyond.

I am of the opinion of "Who cares" on the FOB but it is understandably annoying.

I tend to push the door buttons and the fob stays in pocket. When I do use it, I roll down the windows on warm days.

mine stays on a hook on my belt loop, always use it for my windows, and i never use the door buttons because then i gotta wipe them down lol

so me having keys showing annoys me that i dont have the Z fob

mine has a silver ring at the bottom too?

this reminds me of the TUMI wallet review where someone was complaining about how the emblem's black color wears off.

been using mine for like a year and no such thing happening.

my Z fob looks brand new still, even after 4yrs.

I read this as "I used it (my .45) to scare a little kid once"
And I was like this guy is a fucking ASSSSSSHOLE...

Then I reread it and went, OHHHH... The alarm button...
