They just did a piece on the Today Show about the Prius. Apparently it is not easy to shift into neutral. And as far as turning the car off you have to push a button and hold it down for a couple of seconds before the engine shuts off.

I could picture myself trying to find the phantom key on the column.

I test drove a Mitsubishi that was keyless. You carried the fob in your pocket and there was some gizmo you attached where the key went on the column.

I got back to the dealer and couldn't figure out how to shut it off. I put the thing in park and told the saleman screw it you shut it off.

"For when the One Great Scorer comes
To write against your name,
He marks-not that you won or lost-
But how you played the game."
