    Still have to get in my garage and get around the car parked behind it.

    Good thing I don't have that fancy tech.

    I wish they made a car without any of these extra stuff. Just the basics. No seat warmers, no one button start, bring back the manual window crank, it'll feel like a time machine when you're in it.

    good luck with mine, if they can get it running they'll be off on the first corner due to the snatching nature of the LSD

    Another reason not to have all the tech carp on cars.

    saw an article the other day, a 12 year old with $15 worth of parts from Radio Shack hacked into one of the new models (they wouldn't say which) in about 20 minutes; yeah......no thank you....... (and I still have the '51 Ford with NONE of that modern crap, so when the EMP takes it all out, I'll still be rollin'!)

    Not sure they can get away with mine. But if so, so be it...
