Yeah, I even have a daughter that sometimes will ask me a question and
I give my best answer and then she argues with my answer. I finally
told her I hate people that do this.... sorta to me like she or
whoever is looking for an arguement to start. I get to the point
where I don't want to bother to answer.

I'm curious - what do you find useful about it?

As near as I can tell, all it does is force the emergency response team to
have to break into the car to get you out after the crash.

No, these haven't been smart-ass replies.

"The auto lock feature is just about as useful as that expensive
warranty you bought that you'll never need. What a waste of money!"

That's more like it.

Don't let these guys fool you, auto locks are found on European cars,
too. I watched my mechanic break into a Porsche Cayanne the other day
because of the auto locks timed out and locked the keys in the car.
