I found a new warning device

You know how you see these idiots driving down the road with their blinkers on? Well today,Iwas one of them. I switched lanes and got distracted. About a mile or so down the highway I hear this "Ding Ding Ding Ding."

Sounded like a disconnected seatbelt. I'm looking around going what the heck? I see theblinker just flashng away and as soon as I moved the signal arm back, it stopped.

GM reports a change in its BCM programming -

Insiders from GM's module programming dept report that they had to fire a few key programmers when developing the audible warning systems. It seems that the initial warnings for unbuckled seat belts, doors ajar and turn signals left on was a recorded voice that screamed, " YO JACKASS!!!!". GM officials deemed this inappropriate and immediately dismissed the team. Another team was brought in and developed
the DING DING DING that gets progressively louder the longer the warning goes unnoticed.

LMAO, well I will say this. Remember those proximity alarms that "said" things when ppl tripped the sensors?. My 1946 Ford has one still that screams " GET THE F*CK AWAY FROM THE CAR" when someone gets too close.

Thats about the way it went. It got louder and louder and My seatbelt was on and I'm looking around trying to find what the heck was going on. Then I saw my flashers.

Any other cool surprises?

Remember the older Chrysler products, (K-Cars I think) that used to talk to
you.

"Your door is ajar"...."Your lights are on"...

Made me nuts....LOL

I do like teasing my wife about her fat a$$ activating the Airbag sensor in the passenger seat. That goes over well.

Ok the thing is this isn't as loud as my blinker clicking (clunking) sound in comparison/
