chuds (correctly) understand that US companies import workers or outsource work from overseas to undercut American's wages but are suspiciously silent when those same companies hire prison labor for $1.50 an hour

$8 a month if you want to keep your remote-start feature after the first three years from Toyota. loving eight loving dollars a month. I am so loving happy I don't need to own a car.

Hey rear end in a top hat, if you bundle up the way that you should in an environment that “requires” remote start, then it won’t be so critical. I have a 2001 Maxima, it’s pumping heat pretty decently by the end of the block when I turn out of my alley. But hey, maybe it’s because I don’t have a loving cargo’s van worth of empty space to heat. Sorry, I just HATE remote starts. Burn gas while idle because “my fingies might get cold.”

Just walk out to the car and start it and then go back inside and make coffee and get ready for the day and by the time to leave for work your car is warm and toasty and a remote start feature would long have auto shut off

Just get a Webasto* with a remote if you need an automobile in an actual Winter. Who cares what the car manufacturer wants to charge lmao. *) I'm sure other brands are available.

I used to leave it running in the parking lot sometimes when going in to a convenience store to get something to drink. That was also when gas was 85 cents a gallon though.

McCracAttack posted:Buddy, I need the windshield to be defrosted so I can see out of it while I'm driving. Same here, but I've never been in a position where turning the car on, then scraping off the external ice over a couple of minutes, and then driving a little bit didn't have me up and running short of the days where it's like... insanely cold out and you're lucky that the car starts at all. The idea of remote starting when it's above 0 is just foreign to me. Good jacket and boots are a better investment.

I still think push start is dumb as hell You still have to have the key IN THE CAR so why add this over-engineered layer of wireless and batteries and poo poo? Maybe there is a compelling reason and I just haven't heard it? Other than BUTTAN COOL

The Bloop posted:I still think push start is dumb as hell It is really nice not having to take my keys out of my pocket when I get in the car. Also the push-button start runs the starter motor for exactly the right amount of time and cuts it off exactly when the engine starts, which I'm guessing puts less stress on the motor and the parts and stuff.

Oh and the wireless system necessarily needing to know when the keys are actually in the car means the car can warn you if you accidentally leave the keys in the car and will prevent you from locking yourself out of the car. I don't know I thought they were silly too until I actually got a car with a button and it's really nice and I like it

I was being nice and started my partners Chevy Malibu but forgot to give her the keys and she drove off to work and realized when she was about half an hour away from home and stopped to fuel up that I had the keys at home

I dated a woman who had a BMW and she lost her key fob and it cost over $300 and took a week to get a new one lmao. Not sure if that’s true of other car manufacturers or a bmw specific thing but I’m pretty careful not to lose mine. It would Auto Unlock the doors if you pulled the door handle and the keys were in your pocket so that was cool. Also it would auto shift itself into park when you turned it off so she’d use my car and turn it off and leave it in drive lmao
