Can you drive off with a running Z if the key isn't close to it?

I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this so hopefully it's not a repost.

If the Z is already running, can you jump in with no key and drive off or does the car sense for this and kill the power?

It is a repost but to answer the question yes.. once the car is started the key could be in another state you can just drive off. Granted if you stall out or shut off, you can't turn it back on but yeah...

I believe the Z makes a beeping sound when you open/close the door and the key isn't detected to be in the car.

One morning I started my car, but ran back in to switch jackets. I forgot the key in my first jacket, but the Z started beeping like, "hey retard, you forgot your key!".

I wanted to know the answer too, I' always afraid someone will just jump in and drive away my Z
Now I always lock my doors while the engine is running when I have to leave my Z for a seconds

Yeah I leave my car running with friends in it while I run in store all the time. It beeps 3 times, but stays running.

Hahaha I did that once. I went up to the valet later for the key to get a pack of smokes out and he was like 'you didn't give me a key'
