"Who's going to need to start their car when they're more than 2000 feet away?"

Let's say you're vacationing in Japan for a month. You're car's parked at O'hare in the dead of winter. You'd want to start it up every so often to keep the battery charged. Also, as soon as you land so it's nice and toasty and the windows are de-iced.
