This happened earlier today on the Canadian side of the Niagara River,
opposite Buffalo.

I have a unit with 2-way communication and a 1 mile range. It's not that
I ever start it from a mile away, but I *can* start it from inside a
store or theater or restaurant, etc. No need for line of sight or close
proximity.

When I'm at work there are a few co-workers that come into my office to
start their vehicles because my office is above the parking lot. Sometimes,
just for fun, I walk down the hall to *their* offices to start mine. ;-)

Autostarters with SIM cards can start, lock or unlock, and check
status from anywhere in the world with internet or cell phone access.

It is blowing in from the Canadian side. Easily prevented by putting a
tariff on it.

I understand the sentiment. I moved South so I would never have to
deal with snow again. Didn't move far enough South. Two inches of
snow totally freaks them out around here. Hell, just the forecast of
snow freaks them out.

SWMBO has one on her car (factory). ...and it sleeps in the garage!
;-) Mine would too, if I'd get my a$$ in gear and get the siding on
the house (going on the second year but my health has gotten in the

Her's uses the cell system so she can start it from anywhere. Well, I
don't pay for the cell service so...
