I drove a car (#3988) that had both the ignition on/off and engine start 
functions with switches on the front panel next to the wiper switch.   The 
ignition key stayed in the ignition switch but its only function was to unlock 
the steering--all electrics were removed from it.   VERY dangerous if you 
ask me, because it would be perfectly possible to remove the key, yet still 
start the car and drive off.   At some point you'd turn the steering wheel and 
the ignition lock would engage and then your steering would be frozen until 
you crashed into something.

Dumb!
