Than he tells me that it would be better to start the car again so the oil gets hot and drains faster, so .....i decided to use my starter, next thing you know, I was holding my little yaris with all my might as it was driving into me. I pressed my legs against the wall, and kept holding it as it was slowly driving close and closer into the wall, it stalled, than it tried to start again, my dad got scrared shitless, he ran around and tried to get in to get it off the gear, but the doors LOCK when the car tries to start, so he coudln't get it, so i tried to open it with the remote as i was holding my car, but it wouldn't work....fortuneltly the window was open and he got it off the gear as i was holding it.....shit the worst experience that i had with my little yaris.....

Yes, but if you read my story instead of skimming through it, I wrote, that I used my "remote starter" key, to start the car (in which case i don't need to hold the clutch cuz i'm not in the car obviously). The car was already in the garage, i was standing right in front of it, i pushed the start button, the car started and it was in first gear, so it drove right at me, so I used my hands to attempt to stop it. It was shaking like crazy as i was holding it with 1 of my legs against the wall. Than it stalled, and a second later it started again, this time i got a better grip on the bumper. My dad just froze up from shocks, so I had to yell at him to go put it in neutral, When he tried to do it from passenger side, the doors locked (because they lock when u remote start a car). I used my remote to try to open them, but it was already performing another operation "trying to start the car" and it didn't work. SO, than he ran around to the drivers side and got in through the window, that was luckily rolled down. The front bumper ran into and bended to crap my Shoe stand, bended some boxes with old shoes in them too. However, later i found that my Jack was stock under the front tire and the bumper, WHICH MEANT IT HELPED ME STOP THE CAR. It was later a pain in the ass to get out. So PLEASE, don't Say that you smell BS, because I wouldn't make a story like that for just the hell of it. I just shared my first week experience with my yaris.
