Calling it a climate participation trophy hits the absolute nail on the head.

It's such a dumb concept. In cold weather when some cars don't start easily, imagine leaving your house and stopping at a light before the engine is fully warmed. It shuts off and won't restart. At least many vehicles had a way of disabling that feature and dealers were generally good at doing that.
