I remember when car alarms first came out, everyone would stare, but then everyone became immune because of that stupid thing called a motion detector, whereby every single bird fart would send the car into a spastic fit. After a while, it became more of an annoyance than anything else.

I think that the motion detectors should be outlawed. Who cars if the car wiggles.

Its called crying "wolf" (Wolfsburg?)

And then the car alarms with the "voice": 'You are too close to the vehicle...'
