Damn tards!

The other night I went to get something out of my trunk. The car was in the garage about 50 yards from my condo. When I went to open the trunk, I realized that I had left my keys inside. I thought, no worries, the window is open, I'll reach in and hit the popper. Well, the car was locked and as soon as I hit the button the trunk popped and the alarm went off. So I had to run in and grab my keys all while my alarm is going off. The whole time my HID's are flickering on and off! I thought, great! Now I'll get to replace a ballast soon!

Who the hell designed that anyway!? They should have made the highbeams flash instead. Damn tards!

The moral of the story: Don't reach thru an open window to pop your trunk if the car is locked.

it's the alarm, the car doesn't know that the window is open.

I realize that. However, who decided it's a good idea to flicker the HID's on and off while the alarm is going off?

My alarm has gone off without me around more then a few times. I have shock sensors too. I've heard my neighbors complain about it. However it wouldn't go off if the stupid kids didn't throw a ball around in the parking lot. Damn kids!
