ORIGINAL: Gump

if you leave your car in gear and remote start it the car will NOT drive away.... it will however jump forward about 3-5' and stall out, your remote start will then start the car again and it will jump and stall again. most remote starts try 3 to 5 times if the car dies.
i have witnesses that will tell you that's not true, at least not with my alarm. i watched my car drive a good 20 feet away from me before i was able to turn off the remote start when it was started in gear. this happened twice. the car drives off and keeps on going until you stop it.

That must be fkn hilarious to watch though. A car just starting up and running the hell away. Id DIE laughing if it was done in a safe enough area, and done on purpose.

Yes now I know someone with it. I didnt before, but I do now.

This had me laughing pretty good but there's no way in hell I'll have one put on my car unless I can make it 100% fool proof.

#1) this would be more for my wife since she drives it everyday and she's the typical woman who just wants to get in the car and drive. She's usually multi-tasking and does not want to have to think about a "start sequence".

aaand #2) the car is never parked where it could just go 3-5 feet, much less 20, and not hit something.

Doesn't sound like I'll be putting one on.

i'm been looking into putting on a magnet safety switch, i just have to figure out how to wire it in. some of the remote starters come with them, but mine did not as it was not designed for a manual car. the ones out there that are meant to be put on a manual have the safety things built into them so it's not a problem.
