Thanks liberals (sarcasim)

This stupid "feature" is because automakers need tricks to meet government mandated standards.

Yes I have a bypass switch but it resets every flipping time you get in.

Just one in a long list of greviences

Looks as if there are benefits to having aging cars....
 
My wife's car does that. Never was an issue when I've driven it. Hit the gas and you're moving just about as quickly as if it hadn't shut off.

The things people rage about . . .


And, I'll add, if you have a hybrid then the electric motor will get you going first. You won't notice a damn thing.

At least learn how to spell sarcasm. If you are a republican, it's a must for you to have grievances.

I guess you'll blame the next hurricane on democrats too.
 
The new app I'm beta testing for my company is ****ing hyper invasive. It's permissions are too broad, what it collects and keeps, too granular, and the HF that bought us too untrustwothy.

Like, I have to leave my job.

I'd rather have the problem of a car that's quiet at stoplights.

I mean, if we're bitching.

I remember the first time that kicked in for me, I thought it was an engine stall. But it's not, and as soon as you attempt to move, it starts up instantly. Good to avoid all the fumes with people idling their cars. No problem as soon as I knew what was going on,

So you have a stop start engine? How does it know when to start up again

I can't believe they didn't include your issue...

I think the OP may be better served with a good ol' fashioned hand-cranked car. He is not going to do well with those new-fangled automatic starters. And don't even get me started on electricity in the home - the very idea might send him into a tailspin. Yeah, perhaps it's best that he return to his horse-riding roots.

Come to think of it, liberals created the internet so he should probably wean himself off it entirely.

True, and he could get Kennedy to state that the fumes from idling cars is actually a cure for autism.

Stop start engines are not a new thing but they're becoming more common these days for an average person.

That's like suggesting someone should have a horse and carriage because they don't like using touch screens.

When you consider that some children will be going to bed hungry tonight, some people will be homeless, and more just one bad event away from
homelessness, your plight doesn't seem all that serious. I try not to sweat the small stuff.

I'm curious as to how if you're idling meaning you're not living how your AC continues to work and how one such a thing can be supported by the vehicle's battery. Let's start back up if it thinks the battery is starting to drain a little too much?

You should be complaining about anything ever on this entire website until world hunger is ended. I think on another thread you were whining because of Jimmy Kimmel's not funny.

You are correct I have it made, blessed beyond measure.
doesn't mean I can't complain about something that bothers me to try to spread some common sense
