billvon 3,088 #80 March 24, 2005 >So what happens if you have it running and get out? It refuses to lock the door so you can't lock yourself out (if you leave the transponder in the car.) The engine doesn't run when you stop, but it does stay 'on' and in park. If you get out with it in your pocket, it shuts down and locks the doors eventually (after you're like 20 feet away for more than X seconds.) >Does it open the door as well? Yeah, you just touch the door handle and if it senses the transponder it unlocks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 10 #81 March 24, 2005 Quote Don't planes have transponders for purposes of locating them or something? Yes, they relay a 4 digit code so Air Traffic Control can identify a specific aircraft. ATC most times gives you a code when you contact them.

Deuce 1 #85 March 24, 2005 Quote Quote HEY! You stay off-topic dammit! I rode in BillVon and Amy's other electric car. I asked Amy if it had any "go" and she floored it. These light bars light up on either side of the speedo and I was pretty sure we were going to do that doppler light thing that the Millenium Falcon did. It was quick. And you can't help but feel superior to the other greenhouse gas spewing SUV pigs while in it. Like me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #86 March 24, 2005 Did it leave buring tire marks like in Back To the Future? I've always wanted a car that could do that. Speaking of which, may John DeLorean rest in peace. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took a look at one at the local dealership.

PhreeZone 20 #100 March 24, 2005 Ron, seriously look at Honda. Its about 80-90% domestically made parts right now. Thats better then the vast majority of Fords. The Honda Accord Hybrid will probally be my trade in choice in a few years with a hybrid SUV for the girl.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
