Default Has this ever happend to you?

When I am away from my car at school/work/gym I usually keep my house keys either in the center console or backpack and just carry only the plastic part of the key fob in my pocket.
That being said, after my workout today (still in my basket ball shorts), my key fob slipped out of my pocket and into the little crevice between the center console and seat!!! I tried to take it out by hand but, just made it worse and it was lodged in there even more! It took me nearly 20 mins to get it out! If it wasn't for the little nylon ring string that is apart of the leather cover I don't know how I would have gotten to it.

BTW, I fabricated some kind of hook thingy with a small paper clip, 2 chopsticks, and DUCT TAPE to get it out.

Okay, just wanted to share my experience. Good day.

I can't eat rice with chopsticks at ALL. That's tough. Unless the rice is really sticky.

Byoung Woo, isn't that the name of the main character in My Sassy Girl?

That's what I did in my friend's IS350 when I dropped a pen in the passenger's seat. I'd imagine as with the LS400 you can go from the front, too. I just moved the seat forward or back all the way to get easier access.

Of course, my LS430 has sound dampeners all around the seat, which has the added benefit of stuff landing on top of it instead of going down underneath.

I could probably buy a whole mcds meal with the amount of change that fell in between the seat and the center console.
