Re: Ford introduces car-limiting MyKey for worried parents

Good idea.
It would be okay with me once i can drive
At least you can go 80...
My brother was going 125 on our way to long beach a few years ago o.O
And i see why parents dig it alot
Why would you want your kid going 100+ in a 2 ton metal coffin?
I wouldn't...
But hell when I'm there cars will drive themselves!

Edit:
Leave the presets no customization
Why?
Most kids are better with computers then their parents
(except for most of you I imagine)
And password?
No, my mom uses the same password for EVERYTHING
And i know it

Done

I like the idea and I am sure that some parents out there (not necessarily from TG

) will benefit from this and hopefully reduce fatalities or accidents while driving.

I personally learned to drive on a dingy '96 dodge stratus that my parents first bought when we moved to North America back in '98 so I know how to limit my stereo and drive safely.

When you pull up next to someone who is shaking windows three blocks away with top 40 Rap songs you have a legitimate reason to put on your ear protection, pop in Beethoven's Third, and crank the radio up to 11. Because 11 is louder than 10.

Quick update just posted a few mins ago, out of the Detroit auto show:

Detroit 2009: Ford demos MyKey

I have to say, I really don't think it is that limiting to a teen, except maybe the set radio volume level. And I like the no seatbelt=no radio idea.

I'd prefer no seat belt = no start.

I would go with Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra".
