    The spring loaded key fobs are my all time favorite. You (I) could play with them all day, and unlike the above car-shaped-fob, it's awesome cool at any age! It's really the simple pleasures that make life worth living.

    "You (I) could play with them all day, "

    Awww, come on. Channel the inner child and make vrooom, vroom sounds while pushing the fob around.

    that would most likely trigger one of the buttons simply by bending with it in your pocket or leaning agiant the kitchen counter

    I'd think it would at least help with locating the correct buttons while the fob is in your pocket. I know this is an issue I've run into with normal, symmetrical fobs.

    @zimtheinvader: Please. If I had a car shaped fob, it wouldn't make "vrooom vroom" sounds, it would go "psshhhrrrrmmmmmmm!" because it would be a flying rocket-powered car fob.

    Absolutely cheesy. Not a good move. Should be a deletable option. But if they're going to do it, at least make the shape useful. Tapping the hood should open up the front trunk (frunk), not the rear.
