In Reply to: "Jalopnik" polled its readers--which features would you pay to remove from new cars? posted by ghost of olddude55 on February 24, 2023 at 14:05:21:
I hate that mofo thing with a burning passion.
There's a button to disable, but it only stays disabled until you turn the engine off.
I have no idea what ninny thought that feature up, but if the pretext is to save fuel it can't possibly save enough to offset the increased cost of batteries and starter motors.
