How do you lock your car?

Oh good, yet another Thread turn into .....It's all about me Thread......

We don't use keys.........:0008

It's usually written into the contract that they won't pay out if the keys are in the car. Forgetting to mention it probably won't work many cars now have a microchip in the key head and the car won't start without this, secondly if the car was recovered there will be evidence that the key was used to start it as there will be no sign of it being hot wired. This indiscretions will not get past the insurance companies.

Had one stolen once with the keys in it. No problems with the insurance.
There's even a thread here about it.:0008

another pet peeve of yours?

I always lock my car remotely after I step out. My car doesnt chirp when I lock it, so grumpy fucks that worry about trivial shit can't complain


Btw, I had a delicious $7 pad thai from a food truck yesterday in downtown nola. Of course, I used chopsticks to eat it, which made me feel cool.

Who

I open the door, and as I'm getting out, I push the "door lock" button. It seems so simple!


Why do so many people feel the need to walk 50 feet from their car, and then hit the lock button on their fob? I understand how cool that shit was a hundred years ago, when only really expensive cars had that feature.

Also seems like a good way to get shit stolen from your car. As you walk away, someone can just hop in before you lock it.


Seems a little silly.


Rant over..........Jack?

I used to do this, too.
Until I bought a 2015 Kia Optima last month. It doesn't have a key; you step on the gas petal and push the start button.
Only way to lock the car is for the "key" fob to be clear of the door, so while I could reach down and press the lock button after climbing out of the car, I now just lock it after walking a few feet away from it.

That's interesting. I've rented several cars with that feature, and locked them all the same way I have any other car.

I've been trying to lock it as I get out of the car; just reached down and pressed the button AFTER clearing the door.
I'm a quick one...:facepalm:
