Some of you people are making me laugh. You talk about it not belonging in muscle cars and we don't need the car to drive us and auto nose wiping.

Those power brakes and steering sure is nice. No? And all that goes along with it.

But try and remember noone is saying it's a must. It's just a cool feature. Ever sat down in the car because your hands were full or whatever and had to lift up to get the key out of your pocket? YES, you have. Was it a real challenge? NO, it wasn't. But would have been nice (AS A COOL FEATURE) to just reach up and hit the button.

Makes no difference to me. But I think it's a cool feature. Put your key in your pocket and forget it. Bonnie puts hers in her purse and NEVER has to touch it. Car stays locked when she walks away and unlocks when she touches it. She can never leave her purse at home, or at the restaurant. Car won't even unlock without it. It's just a cool feature.

Why not just put those old radios with the push knobs with the strings on them that pull the radio dial indcator to the correct stations?

I'd LOVE to swap my car to get away from the computer. I'll agree there.

But I embrace the technology of he convenience features. I won't have this car 25 years from now. So I'm not worried about it.

And I have never seen any ignition failures.

I have. Plymouth Volary and a Buick Regal. One of them just locked up. The other got lose and the car would die if it shook the wrong way.

I'm 21, think push to start is sick too, just not in this case.

Musce car = No bluetooth, On-Star, Power windows, power locks, power seats, etc...........

Yes there's a backup. What happens if you lose your keys. There's another one. And it's just a small battery you can get anywhere. Plus, in all the years I've had a key fob, I've NEVER ONCE had it just die and not work.

Yes, actually. But minisculy.

However, it's not that that we're talking about. It's being able to keep it in your pocket and never have to take it out.

No leaving your keys in the store. No losing them. No fishing for them when your hands are full. Just convenient. Not necessary. That's all we're saying.

I think we are getting a little lazy, we will have weak fingers for not exercising them turning that key.

Plymouth Volary and a Buick Regal. The Buick actually left Bonnie stranded. The ignition was lose inside. The car would die even while running. And not start until the key cylinder was jiggled enough to make whatever contact it needed. The Plymouth just locked up. NO keys would work.
