While I would never bypass the switch (cya)
It is dangerous in that it's conceivable someone by accident
(or on purpose to set up a suit) could claim that GM installed
this device to preclude an accidental crushing of someone's
leg or cause the car to lurch out in traffic etc etc.
And then by intentional negligence it was circumvented.
There is a big difference in negligence and intentional negligence.
A REAL BIG DIFFERENCE.
Imagine the worst case scenario. A child (maybe a grandchild) is in
the car somehow (got in without permission). The child sees the key and puts in in and turns it. The car is pushed into first gear and offers little resistance to movement and there for runs over and crushes a neighbor
kid. The neighbor kid's parent is a knowledgeable lawyer........
The stage is set to loose everything you own not to mention the grief anyone would have for being responsible.
Like I posted earlier the chances of happening are VERY remote.
But then why store gas next to a furnace?
Having said my position. I do acknowledge we all have the right to do changes to our car that we feel make it better.
I'm done with this thread.
Long live the ZR-1.
