THE PANIC BUTTON!!! |
Lead | |
|
I've joined the late Twentieth Century and have a couple cars with these new fangled keyless entry remote control doodads. Useless to me as I hardly lock
my cars anyhow except at the Orange County Fair. So the minivan has one with this red 'panic button' on it that I guess is to assuage moms into a false
sense of security when they drive downtown to score crack. I know the odds are probably a million to one, but whenever I'm in a large parking lot I hit
that red button hoping to set of some other schmuck's alarm. That would be soooo great!

I don't have keyless entry on my new one, but I discovered the other day that if I open the hatchback (even with my key) without first going in front and
opening the door, the alarm goes off.
I didn't know it had a fricking alarm. |

Setting the panic off on a PT Cruiser rental = most embarrassing thing ever!

The panic button is only useful for startling family members who are standing near the vehicle while you watch from afar.

I often hit mine 'accidentally' and laugh at the people near my car who get the shit scared out of them.

My stepdad did that to my kid this weekend. While Rockhead was under the vehicle, trying to get a stick that had gotten lodged in the undercarriage.
Grandpa got flipped off. |

This is a handy inexpensive alarm system. If you suspect an intruder is in your house, hit the panic button.

Will the intruder wake the baby? If not I'll take my chances.

I still don't have keyless entry. It existed in abundance when my car was made (2002), but I have the LX version, which is so stripped of features that it
still had a tape player. I did recently discover child locks on the power windows, which is useful when my mom is visiting. No matter how many times I told her
not to roll the window down because it's faulty and won't come back up, she still does it.

I'm trying to figure out where in orange county there is a downtown where I can score crack. Corona del Mar? Maybe Lake Forest? Both towns cry out
"Gateway to Danger."
I have my panic button ready. Kimbob the Surprised |
