The whole ignition process on the Pcar seems very antiquated.

Current BMWs with "comfort access" have a key fob that you don't ever have to take out of your pocket. Walk up, the car unlocks, you hop in and push the button and the car goes. That makes sense to me - you never have to pull out the key. It electronically unlocks the column. Pretty slick. Cadillac has this now as well, and probably some other companies.
To have to put the key in the dash, turn it, THEN push a button? Makes no sense.
The spoiler has some hysteresis in it. It goes up at 70, but goes back down at some lower speed, so it's not going up and down constantly.
One zip tie and five minutes of your time can yield you a car that starts without pressing the clutch. I know, because I did it to my car.
(oh, no "clicky clicky" when shifting, either!)
