CAR TOO SHORT...CAN'T FIND AT MALL D: D:
Me: Where the hell is my box? All I see are Yukons! LOTS AND LOTS OF YUKONS.
Box: HONK HONK HONK HONK
Me: Ah, there we go!
Once I couldn't remember which garage I parked in at a hotel (they had like three seperate garages). I DID remember that I'd parked on the roof, and I didn't feel like going to the top floor on ALL of them just to find my car, so I climbed up on top of a mailbox and hit the button. One of the garages started lighting up like a rave, so there we went.
It was awesome.
And yeah, I pretend it's an alarm all the time.

Haven't hit it yet by accident or needed to set it off on purpose. Hopefully it'll stay that way. I wish the horn would beep on a double lock like my other cars did.
Ha! I did that yesterday. Had to honk a LOT because of the idiots in the parking garage not looking and trying to hit me. Once I got out on the road, I was so amused by honking that I just kept beeping for a few minutes...

i like to honk at oncoming traffic and wave frantically at them like i know them. Then they look and try and figger out who it was and they don't pay attention to the road and stuff happens and yeah. I think it's funny. And I also like to set it off when there are people too close to my car.

What the heck is WRONG with these people? That should be the test for mandatory sterilization. These people definitely deserve to have the poop scared out of them with the panic alarm...better that than putting 24-inch-long scratches in your box with the rivets in their 58-inch-waist tapered-leg TEN-DOLLAR WAL-MART JEANS!!
In fact, if I knew how to wire the battery to the exterior panels, I'd do that, too.

I used it to scare the crap out of people. I aked my wife to get something out of it the other day. I pressed panic and she jumped about 2 feet. I also do it when people are just walking by looking at it. It's kinda of a hello... I am an XB. Who are you....
