Speaking of car alarms, I had a green Honda Accord EX with an aftermarket Clifford Alarm. Holy Motha of Gawd that alarm pissed off/scared the shit out of so many people. What it would do was after the car sat for a little bit (like 2-3 minutes) the alarm would activate automatically if all doors were closed.
The guy who loved it the most though was Jeff Hansel. It seems like every time we went climbing the situation would arise where Jeff would try to get into the car (unlocked) while I was away on the can or in the store. And then the alarm would go off, sometimes for a while. This would not please the Hansel. He hated the f'king car.
Other adventures we had in it were braffing on the jeep trails behind Skull Hollow well after midnight. We even found some big log out there we dragged back to camp to burn. Almost got high centered a couple of times.
Also, on the way out to Index we stopped for gas at the Safeway on Lake Shitty Way. For some reason I left if fueling up and went to get something to eat in the store while Jeff and Pax where out with the car. Well of course the alarm came on and some guy got SUPER pissed that the car was blocking his way to get gas. A good time was had by all.
