Well if you're dumb anyway, which I was this morning.

My co-worker and I car pool to work everyday just to help save some serious cash (he drives an 07 Tahoe). I pull into the parking garage this morning listening to Stephen Lynch on Opie and Anthony cracking up to his new AIDS song not really paying attention to what I'm doing. I turn off the car once the song is over and we get out of the car. My co-worker looks at me as I'm walking toward the office and says, "Um...your car is rolling." I turn around and sure enough, its rolling down the parking garage gradually picking up momentum. At first I just laugh at my idiotcy, then I briskfully walk up to the car, hop in, apply the brakes to stop the car then park it again.

In most cars you can't take the keys out of the ignition when you don't put the car in park but I guess thats not really possible with the intelligent key.

So a warning to you G drivers.....always leave the car in park.

 

wow that could have been bad.

 

The G will beep frantically if you do that, but you're right that it's possible.

 

ghost riding?

 

I have a 6MT so I've gotten in the habit of using the emergency brake every time I park. I've seen many people chase after their cars before because they forgot to use it. It's kinda funny as long as no one gets hurt.

 

Wow, you almost made the FAIL thread https://g35driver.com/forums/lounge-off-topic/203452-g35driver-s-new-improved-super-fail-thread.html

 

if you have the intelligent key, why would you have the key in the ignition?

 

Thats what I was thinking

 

I think that is what he is saying...its never in an ignition, so you never take it out. With a key, you can't take it out until you put in in park. With the G, you can turn the car off, leave it in gear, get out of the car, and watch it roll down a hill like that AllState commercial where the guy is chasing his car down an SF street and crash into another car.

 

I have done this as well but mine luckily wasnt on a hill. It is so easy to do.

 

we tested the "itelli key' and its not that great, started the car, got out, then drove off with the fob in someone elses hand that was not in the car, way to go that security

 

once you go so far, the car will shut off.

 

No it won't - try it

 

mine does, i turned on the car and left the keys in my pocket, wife gets in and drives down the street and it turns off.

 

I don't understand, how did it get into neutral to start with?
