GREENVILLE, S.C. —
With arctic cold sweeping across the county and below-freezing temperatures expected as far south as Savannah, it’s tempting to warm up your vehicle before you get ready to drive, but if you do, you will be breaking the law.
South Carolina is one of several states that prohibits leaving keys in an unoccupied vehicle while running the engine. Other states with similar laws include Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Ohio, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Though it is not rigorously enforced, a fine of up to $500 is possible in some locations.
National Insurance Crime Bureau President and CEO Joe Wehrle said leaving a car running is an open invitation to a car thief.
NICB officials said law enforcers reported that a large percentage of stolen vehicles were left unattended with the keys inside.
For example, a Spartanburg County woman who was warming up her white Dodge Magnum while she loaded items into it on Wednesday lost the vehicle to three men who stole it after robbing her at gunpoint.
Stupid lady

I wish someone would steal my truck when I have the keys in it running. I drive a POS. Still a BS law though

UDP's are the only ones that don't have that. They should be in prison anyway.

Cold seats must be a deal for the sensitives out there.

I don't have those, wish I did. Red has heated seats and steering wheel in her Jeep. But remote start to defrost the windows and warm up the cabin is a positive.

how does a non-UDP ever get frost on a windshield other than a sudden snowstorm while shopping at Neiman-Marcus?

the AC was on from the day before when I got out of it.
So I had to get into the truck anyways to turn on the defroster and heater. If you don't remember to preset all that the night before, there really is no purpose to it. Unless they are programmed smarter than they used to be.

Did you not put the parking break on or something? Would love to see someone remote start their car and it take off.

somehow I cranked her up, the powerful fwd 1.8L 170HP inline 4 pulled her across the front yard, across a busy street of traffic (w/o getting hit) and me in chase not looking as I dashed across the street, hopping in the car and stopping it just in time to save it from crashing into a tree.
People stopped their cars to watch as I whipped her around and drove her back across the street to the drive way.
Ghost rode tha whip
