Now, I'm Happy!

The only time I don't like my car setting off alarms is when I am in one of the big hotel parking garages. Setting off a bunch of alarms in a concrete structure gets me a lot of nasty looks.

Hey Robert,
I can appreciate that, concrete garages, underpasses etc. really multiply the sound!

All in all, I don't think my car is that loud, and I'm not out to rattle plates off of peoples walls, but if it had to be a particular brand of car, I think Alejandro and the folks at Ford would have been happy to know it was vettes that were ruffled - BTW vette guy is cool, he was relaying the news in good humor.

The nice thing is my neighbors still like the sound ... it brings them out when she fires up on a Saturday afternoon, and after a long quiet winter, they are already asking when I'll be getting her out of storage for the 2010 season.

The first time I ever took my car out on the town, I remembered the first car alarm I ever set off was a black Corvette that I found parked next to me in the parking garage after leaving a club.

I saw water puddle under the 'vette and I thought to myself, 'the car must have pissed on itself shaking, after being parked next to my car' (I know, I know....it was just condensation from the a/c system but hey... it's me thinking to myself). The last straw was my car starting up next it. The 'vette couldn't take it anymore and set it over the edge (the car alarm went off) Heh heh hehhhh...

Come on, I was only 20 then.
