Wasn't used to the button idea yet!

I see no reason why the car can't be driven once on and no fob. I think you only need it to start it up.
Had a coworker of mine do that with a Dodge Journey rental car. It happens. I did give him **** about it later though.

Back to the original subject, while I haven't actually tried driving it around, I have started the car, and then gotten out to go back into the house or another building before. All the car does is beep at you and display a message saying that the key is not present. Otherwise it does seem to be able to drive with no issues. Range is obviously not an issue from what I have seen. It's a good tactic to have if you need to get out of the car quick to do something, but don't want to shut it off. Otherwise I wouldn't make a habit of it. Could lead to potential problems (i.e., drive somewhere and realize you forgot to bring your keys with you.)
