They can only steal rich people’s cars (keyless entry) with this, I’m for it. Those are the same people voting down public transit.

They can only steal ~~rich people’s~~ 20 year old cars with this

Notably even an economy compact car like the Corolla can have keyless entry, I think it was an option for the Corolla starting in ~2007 unless I'm mixing up models. So it was not just mid-tier cars back then, but also the smaller & more affordable ones.

Isn’t the Corolla the luxury line vs the camry though? And having an early prius definitely a rich person thing.

I had a 2008 Prius with this, yes. I turned it off and used a physical key because I didn't like the attack surface.
