After finding out !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ;

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I started my car without the keys today, and decided to go for a drive. I got no more than 20m down the road before the steering lock engaged what the jim-tooting diddly??! Hammered the anchors and came to a stop neatly at the side of the road, and I flicked the sidelight switch to kill the engine, but it stayed on. Pressed the orange button back in, but it stayed on. I had to purposefully stall to kill it. My joy of yesterday quickly diminishing, I now realise that while I can start my car without the keys, it's absolutely pointless as I need the keys to turn it off, and to disengage the steering lock, and to generally continue existence. Party trick OVER.

My old 01 saturn i could do that. Start car with the key and remove it from ignition. car is 100% functional without key.

That's worryingly impressive! How did you first find out?

My ford tempo did that too! I found out because one day I needed a key off my ring and removed the car keys. The car kept running.
