You can either drive your car or have your car drive you, I prefer the former, so it's always off.

if I could leave it always off, I would. the fact that it turns itself back on, paired with me being too lazy .. mean's its always on, unless I'm about to run the car hard

Same here. I always forget to turn it off. I need to read up on how to turn it off with the Xcal3.

I tend to forget too. I try to remember car goes on, it goes off. But at times like right after getting gas I tend to forget. I would permanently do so but I live in Ohio and the weather is extremely bipolar.

If your electrically inclined you can put a relay in to auto turn off when the car turns on. But then if needed can push it and itll turn on.

Always off. Last thing I want is stupid traction control pulling fuel and sending a rod into space. I learned how to drive without an electric nanny and I don't need one now.
