Key fobs are a pain in the ass. A couple I know was out with their kids for breakfast one Sunday. Afterwards they stopped at home, the wife went inside with their daughter and the husband went straight to their son’s soccer game about a half hour away. It wasn’t until after the game that he realized he didn’t have his…

You joke, but sadly, we’ve already had a similar comment that was, by all appearances, serious

Actually it makes perfect sense that the car once started with the fob present and detected does not shut off until shut off by the driver, otherwise the car would have to shut off the minute the battery died even while the owner was driving the car down the road and the fob stopped transmitting creating the risk to…

The owner should be arrested for leaving her car running and unlocked to tempt a car thief to steal her car. The car thief needs to have proper.criminal justice through social help and financial assistance. /s

No one really needs remote start.

Don’t steal just to prove some point which could just as easily be proven by turning off the car and hiding the keys.

Everyone in this story is stupid. Why would you leave your car running in such a place, especially if you’re not even around where you could see/hear it (I’m assuming she was still in the store, from the way the article reads) and why would you steal something as shitty as an 06' Grand Cherokee.

While doing penance in summer school 1969 I was constrained by the rule that only let you miss TWO days of summer session. Having already lost one with feeling crappy, I was up against losing two to attend the 1969 Watkins Glen Can-Am/six hour FIA race. I needed to pass the classes but, hey the GLEN!!! Solution? Use…

The sheer fact you parked your own car with Jay Leno’s collection already makes me insanely jealous. That’s a pretty cool thing right there in my opinion.

The companies that make and sell these systems are predatory jackals. No doubt this was marketed to this cash-strapped town as an easy way to increase revenue, and I’d bet that the contract was structured so that the city now has no recourse against them.

I avoid Maryland and DC as a general rule, but it’s good to have yet another justification.

This. They are still pretty rare in the US and every one implemented should be fought.

Why can’t auto makers just focus on making good cars instead of just trying to figure out how much unnecessary technology they can cram into it?

Felipe was struck by a spring. The halo does nothing to stop something the size of a spring from getting through to the driver and only protects against large objects. The screen on the other hand protects from everything from a small piece of carbon debris all the way up to a car jumping over the nose.

The Halo looks like something that someone’s kid drew on a napkin at Fudruckers. At least Indy put some thought into the design and technology in the material. When tasked to create a safer cock pit, the pinnacle of Motorsports just decided to make an ugly roll cage.

It still looks better than the halo, regardless.
