Stupid award of the day goes to

my DH! (This is really for yesterday, but we didn't know this until almost midnight)

We have a car that isn't driven to often. Every now and than DH starts it up to make sure the battery doesn't die. Yesterday was on of those days.
He starts it up about 9am comes back in the house showers, gets dressed and we head off to therapy.
We're in and out of the house ALL DAY. We leave again around 3pm to head to my mothers to celebrate her birthday and don't come back home till about 11:30pm.
I get out of the car and hear a car running. I look over to our rarely driven car and sure enough it was STILL running!!! 14 HOURS LATER!!!

Now granted DH has issues with his short term memory because of his accident in 2005. BUT I can't let him off the hook for this, we're lucky the car wasn't stolen!

Re: Stupid award of the day goes to

You may want to look into a remote start. My cousin has one for a Jeep that also doesn't get driven a lot. It starts itself every couple of days and runs for a certain time, then shuts off. The great thing about it is that it can't be driven since the keys aren't in the ignition, as soon as you step on the brake, the engine shuts off. If you want, FM and I will get the info about it for you.
