i went home for lunch today and when i got there the garage door was open and my mom's pt cruiser was going crazy. the alarm kept going off and she could not turn it off. she had two sets of keys--one in her hands and one on the dashboard. the doors were locked and i tried to help just get inside to see if maybe the keys on the dashboard could turn off the alarm. that didn't work. i was getting pissed off with all the noise and it must've gotten to the neighbors too because one came by and offered his advice (battery may be too low). so i headed into the house so i could eat--i can't waste my entire lunch break on this shit! eventually my mom and her boyfriend got into the car and drove away to fix it i presume. later i asked her about the car and she said after driving for awhile it was fine. maybe it was just a low battery but if it was critically low and all she did was drive around to charge, that battery is gonna wuss out on her again.
