Car alarms... and why I love them.

I know it's childish but there is something satisfying about setting off over sensitive car alarms when I drove by.

Tonight I went to get some food and drove past an empty spot in the parking lot so I put the car in reverse and a trucks car alarm starts going off.

Can you do it at idle???

**DanWS6** · 08-10-2007, 06:49 PM

Yes, in a parking garage when I had a slight exhaust leak (the stupid y-pipe came off the passenger side header).

Leak... wuss.

Hater.

Actually it made me want to get a cutout after I fixed it.

I can. Every morning at college I'd start my car and instantly set off two alarms in the parking lot and as soon as I got close enough i'd set off a couple more. This was stock manifolds, and cutout but I do have a 112LSA cam that lopes like crazy.

My record was 8 cars in a day.

I set off car alarms all the time, not so much because of my exhaust, but because of my four foot long doors

Ahhh memories of my IROC are coming back.

My buddy has an '01 cummins with one 5 inch straight pipe the whole way back. When he pulls into a parking lot it's like that scene on the bourne identity.

I had a buddy with a diesel van that set off car alarms all the time. There was one that he set off in the same place every morning on the way to school.
