In the car I drove to college in '92 or so, the ignition was broken
enough that I could remove the key in ON. So for quick stops, I could
park the car, remove the key, lock the doors, and go do my errand. Handy
in a shadeless parking lot in sunny FL where a closed-off car, especially
one with a black interior, can get to an amazing temperature in a hurry.
