[W126 Coupe] Locked keys in 560 SEC

[Jay Hirsch]

I have extra keys to all my cars hanging on a rack inside  my house  
an also have extra keys with my brother.

  I  have two sets of  keys on me when ever I  take car for a ride.

The "hidden  key" part on the car  somewhere does not always work,  
you may forget where  you "hid the key" and sometimes after years of  
"bumps" in the road the  magnetic holders are not as magnetic as  you  
thought.

have  minimum two sets of keys or key fobs
keep cruisin
