| I've joked before that I'm coming down with Alzheimer's, but I've never before called 911 because I couldn't find my car in the parking lot.
Jesus Christ. |

| Wow, I think I need that.
Wait, how does it work? Doesn't the car have to be on for the Bluetooth to be active?

| Can't your thermostat find your car for you?

| Maybe, if I was home and the car was in the garage. |

| Did you really call 911 and tell them you couldn't find your car? Or did you report it stolen? Of course, when the cops got there and you told them it was a Subaru, they would have said, "Nah. You must have forgotten where you parked."

| Holy shit! You didn't lose your shoes, too? I don't think they have an app for that.

| When I had the Eclipse I was always losing it. Standing next to it, it didn't seem all that small. Park it in a line of cars and the damn thing would hide.
But I never called 911, I knew it was just playing. |

| Hey. I had an Eclipse. A red 1995 GS. Quite a fun little car. If you really want to lose a car in a parking lot, try an Austin Healey Sprite with no top. |

| In my defense -- weak tho that it is -- in the 5 minutes I was in Home Depot, three big trucks parked on all three sides of my car, obscuring it from all angles except the rear.
But no excuses. I was parked in row #1, even though I was absolutely SURE I parked outside Plumbing in row #3.
Losing. My. Mind. |

| Don't you have a button on the key fob to honk the horn?

You need to buy a Beacon to broadcast the location of your car. You CAN activate app as you leave your car, and it'll lead you back to where you activated it... but you have to remember to activate it. Maybe I'll buy a tall flag for the antenna. |

Unlock the car, if I'm within about 15 feet (with my current battery). No lights, no horn. |

| Get yourself one of those new-fangled electric cars that comes when you call it. Or a chauffeur (the non-electric kind).

How very 1990s. My old Chevy POS will honk the damned horn (sometimes when I don't want it to). And it works from much more than 15 feet. I wish my wi-fi had the range of that damned button. |

| 1998 car, I'm lucky it has electronic locks at all.
I'll buy an electric car as soon as they come out with an AWD mini-SUV.
With a new battery I get about 45 feet. |

| I've got an Aaarrrggghhh. Cutting up peppers, and absent-mindedly touched my eye. Bugger that stings. Don't do that. |

| The AAA (American Asshole Association) will take umbrage with that connection. Assholes may be assholes, but there's no reason to insult them that way.
