Thursday a guy decides his cell phone is more important than his driving and, while waiting in dead stop traffic he bumps into the read of the car. No damage...probably a 2mph hit, but it just fries my behind....
Friday night, driving down the road and my alarm starts blaring. Got the horn disconnected in about 3 minutes flat, but this morning when I get in the car I can hear the alarm ticking on/off.
Can't unlock the trunk to save my butt....alarm has it sealed tighter than tuts tomb.

Thankfully, I have found a lot of info about the alarm and have a few things to try....the worst part of all of this is finding the time to do a brake job.......well.....I guess that sleep thing is a little overrated......

So, I guess this means that I'm about to hit the automotive jackpot!! Woo Hooooooo......
Not wanting to sound critical but when was the last time you actually checked your car out for things like worn ball joints etc?

Not a good idea to go through life waiting for a light to tell you when your car needs something.
