Gary my guess would be that since a lot of the older car models would lock after a few minutes while running a lot of people locked themselves out of their cars and bitched about it so car manufacturers are now making it so you can't lock your keys in the car while it is running.

 

But he said the key is in his pocket.
I don’t have an answer.

 

My Subaru has been sitting outside dormant during this coldsnap, I figured it made sense not to use it if I didn't have to during minus 20 degree weather as it puts a lot of stress on different parts. I was concerned about the battery since it is the original and since I'm taking it to work tonight I figured I would make sure it was good to go ahead of time. So it fired right up didn't even slow crank

 

Washed the Miata today It was overdue but it's been mostly in the garage recently as top-down days have been few and far between lately.

 

My Civic and Mazda did the same thing. I'm guessing that Robb's answer is right.

 

I know with m 2016 Civic I could not unlock the passenger door if it was locked and the car was running and I was outside of the car with the fob. I always hated that, so I had to go to driver door unlock all doors and then go back to the passenger door open it from the outside while the car was running. I think the trunk was the same way, it would not open if the car was running and I was outside with the fob. No idea the reasoning for it, I just know I didn't like how they programmed it.

 

We bought a new 2020 450 GLE in April of that year when sales were almost zero. We came in well under MSRP with no markups. They offered a zero percent financing if we wanted. I put some of the cost for a 3 year payback. When the MB dealer finance guy ran the numbers, he said he could not make it work with 0% so he had to add a tiny fraction in the compute to get it to work. I wound up paying $1.65 for the "0%" financing. Still not too bad!

I applied the Avalon King nano coating that was offered at a discount on this website. I did spend some time preparing the surfaces but it was easy to apply and I agree with you completely: I am amazed how great it looks and how easy it is to maintain compared to other synthetic polymer "waxes" and/or regular waxes. Great stuff.

 

Our MB GLE has an app that can control almost everything. I like the fact it will let me know in minutes if the car was left unlocked. I can always tell when my wife gets home! You can lock it up inside of Costco with just the phone. You can do a remote start but the vehicle MUST be locked to start her up. I have found the car can get up to "heat" really quickly. With the heated seats and fast electric heating you don't feel cold for long. They made the windshield defrost in seconds. Amazing. 48Volt system really helps.

 

I would have a conversation with Mercedes USA about your little 1.65% problem. zero is zero.
the fact that he couldn't do 0% is BS.

 

I have someone coming to the house on Thursday to do the ceramic coating. I may get the S2000 done before long if I like his work.
