Why the hate for Cyclists?

I have a 9mm glass breaker attached to my body for this situation.

You have a long time before the electic shorts out. Like, minutes underwater and it will still function.

We have salt water where I'm from, it doesn't take long with it is almost a dead short.

I feel less stressful now.

In mid air just like in the movies?

How did I forget that part, all while holding the girl.

Ask me, how did I know that was coming back to me. LOL

Both of our modern hoopties unlock when you put them in park.

There is NO WAY I want my car to unlock all doors, just because it goes into park.

which is why you can usually tweak the settings.

As I recall I had to change mine from park to key removal.

I don't like that option either.

my 2009 Escape had the options of
Auto lock at 12 mph.. yes/no
Unlock in park.. yes/no

So, I have it auto lock at 12mph.
But I turned off the unlock in park.
I don't want to be having my doors unlock in some places, just because I'm in park.

Thanks, I'll have to scroll through the setting and see what I find.

Interesting, there is no way I ever want my doors to lock, although I've gotten used to it in most of the vehicles.
If it locks itself, it'd dang better sure unlock itself. Put it back the way you found it!!
The majority of the vehicles sit with the keys in them 24/7, so I know it's a different world than most.

Yeah….only time I need my doors locked is when I am NOT in the vehicle.

Mine only unlocks when you pull the key from the ignition. But unlock at park is another (totally less safe) option as well. You just have to go into the driver convenience settings and tweak them.

Pull the key from the ignition? What is this 2010?

But in all seriousness, my last two vehicles were push button start. Do they still make cars that use keys normally and not just as a back up?

I'm laughing, up until last week my rides were a 1999 4x4 Ranger, a 2000 CC F350 dually. My son had a 2017 Malibu and he bought a Corvette, the dealer made the offer on his Malibu and sent me a text asking if I would pay xxxxx for his Malibu? I was waiting in the showroom, I texted I would pay that.
Very strange driving something that doesn't get 16 mpg.
When the deal was done I ended up with a key less ride with satellite radio and a key fob. It tells me with beeps, hey hey, you left the fob in the car again..

My girls 2017 GMC Terrain has a key.

Oh I'm in the poors group, I paid $11,000 for my 2011 Lancer and $17,000 for my 2014 IS250. They both have push button starts, but my 95 GMC has a key, and a tape deck.
