At least your car shuts off when you take you keys out of the ignition. I can remove the key out of the ignition while driving.

 

HAHA me too rotorhead87.

I was out pretending i can drift and doing donuts when my keys flew across to the other side of the car. That was pretty funny lol

Nice I guess I'm not the only one with that problem. I've scared my passengers with that trick. Man I love RX-7!!!!

 

I was doing donuts and same thing happened to me.
I can pull them out on 3 of my 4 cars, actually pretty useful for when you want the car running but need to run inside somewhere.

 

same thing here, i wont notice it though and go to park and not be able to shut the car off until i find them. i like it cause you can start the car and pop the hatch without shutting the car off (my hatch popper deal doesnt work)
