A few years ago, we had a spate of stolen cars b/c folks, getting ready to go to work, and were leaving their car running in the sriveway to warm it up B4 they left for work.
Insult of the worse kind.
Here in Colorado, the thieves would do that. So, they passed a law making it illegal to leave one’s vehicle running unattended to prevent it.
I installed a Viper alarm/remote start system.
Can’t drive the vehicle without the key in the ignition.
Even with that, it’s still illegal.
Their reason? Well....
FIRST, they said it was to deter thieves.
When asked, “What about the remote start alarm systems?”
THEN they said it was for environmental reasons.
