So I did it...forgot to shut off the engine
Came back after lunch today, I was busy talking to my friend and forgot to turn off the engine. Didn't even hear the warming chirps.
So 4 hours later when I got back to my car and found it still running. Luckily it was still there. May be keyless start is not a good idea for absent minded people - such as me.
Do you think there's any long lasting damage to the engine by letting it idle for 4 hours? Did this happen to anyone else?
