And i ask him to take u a ride on his MR2 turbo, make sure the targa top is off, so you freeze your face off by the wind while going through the mountain hahahaha

Always leave my car in gear. Even in the garage.

I can imagine someone walking past your car when it starts with no-one in it... They nervously look around for the candid camera PMSL

Just need some remote audio setup like a CB with a PA speaker under the bonnet (I'd never put a CB in my FTO, it was just an example) and you could have some real fun... scaring old ladies and the like ROFLMAO

nar, if u don't pull your handbreak on enuf or it fails. if its in gear it can not roll away very easily..however I leave my "new beast" out of gear on the flat..

i leave my car on neutral all the time unless i'm on a slop/hill etc, thought i know it's a good habit to put in gear but i just keep putting my car on neutral for some how reason

i don't remote start my car unless i'm in a some safe area, if i'm in like bankstown ... city etc i never remote start my car, it's just so asking for attention for someone to smash your car ...
