That's the way my little HHR worked. Locked the doors and started the
engine. I could unlock the doors with the key or by pushing the button
on the key fob. But I had to have the key in the ignition to drive away.

My local GFS (restaurant supply) is offering rotissiere chickens @ U$3
each. I'll stock up this afternoon. Got lots of interesting recipes that

Dennis, pack-rat that he is, saves all take-away containers. And I,
realist that I try to be, dump arm loads of them into the wheelie bin
just before putting it on the curb for pick-up. Just, mostly, the light
duty stuff. I stack the heavier stuff and keep an eye on it. If it's
not been used in three or more weeks .... into the bin.
