so. my car is possessed. the key remote thingy that used to be for the alarm (we got it disconnected because it did not always work, leaving me in the parking lot, squeezing the dear life out of this remote because the alarm is screaming at me for five minutes) apparently still works. i was getting something out of the back seat of the car when i sat on the remote, hereby somehow discovering that by some maneuver (which i doubt i can ever reproduce) which started the car. it freaked me out, and i thought for a good minute that the car was possessed and trying to kidnap me.
not only did the car turn on, but the windshield whipers did too. and i was not alone. the guy in the car next to me was thoroughly enjoying this. i jumped out of the car yelling about it being possessed. then i calmed down and remembered that sometime long ago my dad had told me the remote started the car. the next problem was how to turn off the car. how do you turn off a car that is started without a key? my inelegance returned and i managed…
interesting.

Rachel that is SO awesome!! LOL!! I totally wish I had been there to see it <grin> speaking of alarms… my Mum told me her car didn’t have an alarm on it, well it just so happens that a friend of mine found out that car actually DOES have an alarm on it which baffled my Mum – how do you turn off an alarm on a car that doesn’t have an alarm!? Aren’t alarms GREAT!!! Oooooo speaking of car alarms, while I was counseling at BSBC one of the other counselors pitched my tent in the llama pen which we didn’t find until after hours of looking… sooooo we set his car alarm off at 2:00 in the morning, do you know how HARD it is to set an alarm off on a parked car, it’s quite difficult. We tried everything, then gave up with a WHAMP on the windshield and wouldn’t you know it THAT SET THE ALARM OFF!! =)
