Throttle-by-Wire

[Camden Lindsay]

Before we all get in a horrible hollering match about this-

if you research, you will find that some (many?) foreign (that is, european) 
cars will not lock until key is removed (my audi, my vw) and that many 
american cars will lock if the key is just off.  Please do not make broad 
generalizations about what is true and what is not, as there are many 
different things around.
