Pretty crazy!

Must be some improperly installed after-market remote starter.  Properly designed/installed ones will kill the engine the moment the car is moved if the key is not present.

She probably didn't lock the doors either  ::)

My truck won’t even shift out of park if the engine is running and the key is out of the ignition,and you can’t get in it without key fob or breaking out a window!

Keyless Ignitions  Freakin amazing!  Folks are dead because they're too stupid to know how to shut their cars off.

What is more amazing is that they can't tell when a car is running???  They shouldn't be driving in the first place.

If only auto manufacturers would supply some kind of a manual with their cars that included all the info that one needed to operate said vehicle properly.     ::)

You mean similar to the one that'a in everyone's glove box & never sees the light of day except when the dealer shows it to you? (Maybe) ;) ;)

I know I am not "typical", but I read the owner's manuals, front-to-back, on just about everything I buy (including vehicles).

Is that what that book is inside the glovebox? Who knew?   :o

I'm the same. I read them all cover to cover and in some cases I read them more than once.

I read them as well. Like Conrad, for car or motorcycle, I read the owners manual cover to cover. Although lately I do this on line because I can make the text larger. But just about everything else, appliances, whatever, I only read the manual if there is a problem.

Except it won't.   What an idiot.  Oh, it was from Huffington Post, no wonder...

That certainly was stupid.  All the driver had to do was rev it up and blow her head out.   Geez.

How strange is THAT? She had her head stuck up her own tailpipe and the tailpipe of a truck at the same time....

If she was trying to prove that she could "suck start a diesel" she did it all wrong. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
