[DML] Re: Going keyless (push-button start)

["M. P. Olans" <mpolans@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

VB,
     I hit the show car circuit down here in the Phoenix area all
year.  I've got lots of goodies on my car including a chromed twin
turbo kit, custom fiberglass rear valence, underbody LED's,
halos....you get the idea.  This was one more feature to set me apart
from everyone else.  There aren't many people who start their car by
flipping switches or pushing buttons.  It just draws more ooo's and
ahhh's from the crowd and it seems to score points with the judges on
the customization front.  It took about an hour to mount and wire up.
 Not a lot of extra work when you consider all those folks who have
spent hundreds of hours on their BTTF conversions.

Thanks for your interest!
