    I mean I would have to get up early to go and then worry about my car battery dying due to being away for weeks.

    I have a 22 f 350 that I can start and stop with my phone - from anywhere I have service. I have never used that feature, but I guess a fella could start it once a week remotely if so inclined. Pretty easy to just disconnect the battery though.
