Boy! another cranky old curmudgeon!!! : > You're right. I'm too young
and so is my TR . On the TR4A you can use the door handle or the bumper over
riders to open a bottle. As for the pointy opener in the glove box, that is
reserved for vintage oil cans. Part of my "original" tool kit. : >

Obviously, you are simply not of an age to appreciate the history of church
keys. The pointy end was used to pierce the top of the beer can (in the age
before pull tabs) and the flat end was used to lift off bottle caps (in the
age before twist-off caps). Only old guys and a TR-2 are old enough to
remember those days!

Uhhh paul.... that would be a beer BOTTLE opener. A beer can opener is
either a thumb and forefinger (loosely described as a hand) or in the case
of the knuckle dragging reverse baseball cap crowd (otherwise known as IQ
diminishing caps) cans are opened with the teeth. :>

and a church key.
Our UK friends may think this is a key for a church. It is a beer-can
opener.
