    My Wrangler uses the same style of door latch as the above Toyota pickup - one which I opened a beer with just yesterday, as a matter of fact.

    Get an E30 BMW. You can find several at any LeMons race. Open the trunk lid, and if it doesn't have one... use someone else's. Examine said trunk lid for the reinforcememnt bracing .See the narrow slot??? Insert beer bottle, push slightly sideways.
    Thank you Al Taylor!!

    While tailgating at the Rose Bowl for the USC vs. UCLA football game, my friends and I expertly used jumper cables to open our Coronas. It was great, with 4 giant alligator clips to choose from we each had our own personal bottle opener!

    And USC won that game. Fight On Trojans!

    Back in the early 90s I met up with a girl in Myrtle Beach. We planned out a very nice dinner in my hotel room, but discovered at the last minute we had no corkscrew for the bottle of wine. I went down to the parking lot, removed an interior trim screw from my POS Ford Tempo, and was able to use that along with an adjustable wrench to remove the cork.

    Good things happened later because of the wine...so whether it's because of, or in spite of, the Tempo, we're married now.

    Lug wrench from my 1969 BMW 2002.

    An added bonus is that I was ready, in case someone tried to grab my beer.

    I've sooo wanted to mount this in my Jeep but it belongs to Mom and she's had this thing for years. Supposedly it's an antique milk bottle opener.

    @sectachrome: No, being racist is not genetic. Being racist is taught by parents and peers. I wasn't taught to be racist. But I did come up with a very non-politically correct sense humor and of the ridiculous, and this thing is both.
    I find the disrespect of women just as troubling as racism when taken seriously. However, I realize that hookers in trunks around here is not serious so I gleefully participate in the ridiculousness.
    So take a deep breath, it's not the end of the world.

    I don't have this problem. My key chain is a bottle opener.

    @TV's Paul Y.: The irony of my keychain is it was advertising the sober ride service at school. I think they were ensuring they stayed in business.

    Sadly, the words have long since worn off.

    @engineerd misses Uncle Pete: If it's on your keychain it's your "churchkey".

    As with others, I was taught by my dad how to use the seatbelt tang as a bottle opener, as a wee lad back in the early 80s.

    Cheating, really, but my old Fury had a small opener mounted just under the ancient all bare metal dash where the -- true story -- vacuum tube radio had been an after-market install in 1966 by some old guy in Schenectady NY. You actually had to wait for the tubes to warm up. Also there was a manual belt channel selector that ground away when you wanted to change channels.
    Good, but primitive, times, y'all.

    Nothing on my Saabaru has thick enough paint to go anywhere near a bottle cap. I just use a ring that's on my right hand. I can do it fast enough that it looks like I'm just pulling the cap off. People have been badly cut seeing that and thinking the bottles are twist offs.
