Re: Conundrum
When such devices were first introduced (late 80s?) they did a couple of pops, and they were very loud. To have that on a car was an added feature and cost$. I suspect the loud drama was partly to do with showing off.the lynx wrote:Because people with OCB will not be able to be convinced that it is truly lockedJR8 wrote:Why do cars with remote/'e' car-locking have to go 'Pop-pop ... pop-pop-pop-pop-pop' rather than just 'pop', or indeed simply causing the lights to flash ?
But now doesn't just about every car have such locking? So therefore what's the point if it no longer projects status, and why 7 pops when using such a thing in much of Europe would probably see you arrested for anti-social behaviour?
But then they show off 'Hello Pussy' doll collections on their dashboards, so I'm concluding here that perhaps all hopes of seeking logic are going to be fruitless lol ...
