Most 90's Chrysler's could have the ignition key taken out of the ignition with the engine running.
Consequently, you could start them with a screwdriver if necessary.
Can anyone tell me when the ignition transmission interface became a standard feature on automatic vehicles?
A standard can still be made mobile by taking of the parking brake.
Unauthorized use, doesn't mean just driving a vehicle.
