Every car I have had for the last 15 years has had a remote starter on it. Nice luxury to have. Even won a new starter yesterday in a golf tourny. So even my next car will have a remote starter.

My remote starter fixes me eggs over easy,bangers and a stack of flapjacks...then all it needs is an encouraging wave while I sip my StarBucks by the window...none of these new fangaled garage thinggies fer me makes 'em too soft....!!!!

I'll have one installed in the Subaru. Though I rarely use it in the city, it has one incredible use that I would have a tough time living without now:

Cold Temperature Start.

This feature allows you to set the starter so that it will start the car at regular intervals (usually 2-4 hours) depending on the ambient temperature. For those of us that might leave a car at a trailhead in the dead of winter for days, this feature is a LIFE SAVER. Literally! We've come out of the backcountry in -40C and had the car start despite no plug-in for 3 days or more.

And for that feature alone, I will install one in the Subaru. Can't be done in the Mercedes thanks to the factory security. And yes, I know about bypass systems, but they don't work on the Mercedes SmartKey.

Is there actually any Industry in Calgary OR Edmonton as US Easterners would know it.

Saf - there is actually a lot of industry in AB (steel pipe, oilfield equipment, oil refining, fertilizer, farm machinery, etc), 'course I don't know what you Easterners classify as "Industry". Bitching about how tough you have it these days and casting covetous eyes on ABs petro-dollars seems to be the new "Eastern Industry".

Shades of the old NEP and poor Ontario again.

Thanks, guys! My net access is cut off already at my old job. I might now be on here very much until after the move. Wish me luck!
