What, exactly, is the purpose of a keyless ignition switch? Like texting, I'm guessing it has something to do with our inherent laziness. A good friend bought a new minivan (the make and model I don't remember) and one day, after loading the kids up for a trip to some amusement park in another state, his wife somehow managed to drop her entire keyring close enough to the car that she was able to get in, start the car, and drive away. Fast forward to the required potty stop a couple hours away. Shuts the car off, feeds the troops, and in the process of leaving, discovers the missing keyring. Now, she's 150 miles from home, the car won't start, the kids are pissed, and the hubby has to bring his key fob to her just so she can get home. Not a good weekend, overall. Screw those keyless ignitions.
