Car defrosting on driveway, lesson learned

If you want to do this, get an alarm with remote start that keeps the doors locked and cuts out if you put it in gear or touch the clutch/accelerator.

Leaving it running unattended with the keys in is so dumb it almost asks to be stolen tbh.

I leave my car running outside a shop while i pop in and buy my lunch/drink etc almost every morning on my way to work

Best idea which i have, Removable steering wheel ***. i tried driving at the end of my road without the wheel, feels like im trying to turn the concrete of the road rather than the tyres haha

Bad lucky about that anyway , i'd be far too para about leaving mines running when i'm not in it

Isn't there a car that can be programmed that if it reaches certain temperatures air con will go on to either heat it up or cool it down. This can also be programmed with times for say going to work and leaving work?
