Pulled a bone head move (blond moment)
Left my car running to warming up and let battery to charge up. I got out left both keys in center console to adjust the cardboard under car and car shuts off and locks both keys inside. Note to self don't leave both keys in car lol.... Thank God for AAA!!!

It happens to the best of us :rolleyes:

battery does not charge at idle and it does not heat up the oil it only heats up the water a little bit so ideling is hurting the engine, you are also poisoning yourself with carbon monoxide, dont do it anymore please

It is unnecessary and bad for the car to idle. I start up my car and within 15-20 seconds start to drive. Just don't stomp on the gas, feather it till the oil temp starts to build up.

Pulled car out of garage so fumes are not an issue. Started car cause it was cold here and car is stored there. Started car and let it warm up to operating temps waiting on my battery tender to get here.

Screw the car....I let mine warm up for my own comfort. Actually I only do that when it is really cold outside. I know it doesn't help the car one bit.

Bad for car? No. |
it is more worse to cold idle, the oil doesnt get hot enough and is getting contaminated and the car is running rich fuel mixture because it is cold which is contaminating the oil and washing the cilinder walls so the cold oil is not even protecting what it can and then when it trys it gets washed away by the extra fuel, its ok to do it if it makes you happy and you warm to blow the hot air heater on you to make you warm but its not good for the engine, this is fact and cannot be debated

As I'm sitting here laughing at some of the tripe said in this thread as if it's fact, I'm still wondering why the car shut off and locked the doors automatically. Not one person has questioned that yet.
Having one or both fobs in the car while it's idling does not make the car shut off. It doesn't make the doors lock on their own. Also, even IF that actually happened, why in hell would you have to call AAA to come open the car? Both keys are supposedly in the car. Just hit the button on the car door to unlock... So no matter what people are discussing in this thread, I'm either calling BS on the OP or calling the OP a troll. Either way, the OP isn't telling us the whole story, or he's just telling us a "story". |
ChopsZ just got in before me & I was wondering the same things. For one why in the hell would you have both keys in the car at the same time? BS

And again, "more worse"? Really?! Wow... |
