    I have several AR-15s, two of which I built myself, and mine are very “ retro”. Some people on the other hand will try and take full advantage of a flat top upper receiver and a 4-way handguard to mount every conceivable doodad they can think of, flashlights, laser sights, you name it. It’s like there’s some sort of competition among mall ninjas.

    I wish I had remote start on my truck. It'd be nice to fire it up from the front door, then make my coffee while it builds air. And at night I could shut it off or start it up as needed.

    Yea I'm bored here at the house and thinking about random stuff.

    Competition... yeah, you're right. The bigger, the most sophisticated and expensive ones... one day there will be a machine gun one won't even have to aim or pull the trigger... it will do it all by itself... like an autonomous gun that you can program by remote... :biggrin_25523:

    Several manufacturers make systems that work on manual transmission vehicles. What I used to use on my vehicles was...I can't think of the brand now, I'll have to look it up. But it basically has a neutral safety switch, so the vehicle has to be in neutral or it won't start. As an extra step, you can put a contact switch on the shifter so if the vehicle is in 1st gear it won't start. Or you can rig it up so that a contact switch is on the parking brake and if it's not in contact the vehicle won't start.

    Edit: Compustar is the brand I like to use.
