Default Where do you keep your key fob while driving?

I don't like having stuff in my pockets, so I typically keep it in the cup holder. But when I have something in both cup holders, of course, there is no place to put it.

I'm thinking of placing a small metal disc on the back of it and then putting a small magnet with adhesive backing on it somewhere so I can just "stick it" there while driving.

I keep the fob in the storage area under the center armrests. I’ve trained myself not to exit the car without it.

What about the flip-up storage on the Driver's door?

Like my manhood it stays in my pants.

Ok joking aside here and in all seriousness.

What's the concern with keeping it in a pant pocket? I'm asking seriously here. Years ago I had this concern but since removing all of the unused keys on my keychain I'm left with the fob and my house key. That's it.

I'm also someone who has a very slim wallet and I am always in a suit and I dislike bulky items as much as the next person.

I wonder if you folks have a lot of keys or something?

@angrypengu Same attire here, but my fob still goes in the cupholder - personal preference, I guess... I just don't like anything in my pockets while driving.

People do not get carjacked where I live, and if I were to ever get carjacked. My standard answer would be here you go! Do you need gas money too? There is nothing worth my life lol
