I have only slept roughly 5 hours, and I have to attend college classes at 1:00 pm. Why are there still car alarms in the world? It has been my experience that 100% of the time (and yes I do defend that figure) car owners never respond to alarms of their car. Whoever the asshole is who has put the money and effort to install what must be the world's most sensitive car alarm which activates whenever a molecule of oxygen touches it, doesn't seem to notice that it has been going off since FUCKING 8PM LAST NIGHT!!! This leads me to believe that this fuckwad has probably parked his car some distance from his residence, again another reason to question why there are car alarms in the world if owners never seem to be within earshot of them. So I propose that we ban all noisy car alarms, and don't give me any bullshit about this violating any constitutional right of people to do what they want with their property or this being socialism, cause right now my right to FUCKING SLEEP is being violated. I don't know for sure, but I've heard that things like Lowjack and OnStar have much more quieter means of letting you know your car is being stolen or broken into, so for all you drivers out their don't be a motherfucker and install an alarm into your car you won't respond too. If not I'll have to say your a terrorist, and that you hate America, babies, and Jesus and some shadowy government organization will drag you off to Guantanamo Bay where you'll be tortured and eventually killed, and the official report will be that you committed suicide during juice and cookies time. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Da_bang80</b> <br /><small>Member # 528</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2010,0,26,5,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">January 26, 2010</span> <span class="timeformat-0">05:09 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I have to agree that noisy car alarms are the worst when the owner doesn't turn them off after a minute or two. I don't know what the law is where you live but you could probably call the cops and have them make the guy turn it off. I'm sure letting the thing go for half the night violates some kind of anti-noise or disturbance law.<br /><br />And yes Lo-jack is a much quieter, and more effective way to let you know if something's happening to your car. It even let's the police track it if it does get stolen.<br /><br />When I bought my new bike it came with an alarm, didn't take long before I unplugged it though.
