Funny comment about my Ruby
It was a great day today and I took my ruby out for a spin up to this dam. There were a few cars in the one lot and I had the top down and I get out and walk away and I get a few feet and the PKE locks the doors and toots the horn. Some guy was loading up his car and I hear him say"what a retard for locking his car with the top down" he mumbled something else but I could not hear what he said. I kinda think he was ticked that the horn tooted. Iwas going to say something to him but I didnt want to waste my time with him.
His remark just surprised me. Just chalk it up to one of those things in life.

Reminds me of the old joke about the dullard who called AAA in a panic and said, "Help, I locked my keys in the car, the top's down and it's getting ready to rain!"

Top down or not, nobody can steal thecar(that easily) maybe any items you have inside, but that's about it.

There is a higher probability the guy is a tool, but it is possible that he is not familiar with the PKE concept and doesn't know you didn't intentially lock the doors.

To me its easy to understand, some people have nothing to do, nowhere to go, no appreciable goals, and no life, consiquently they go through life w/an attitude of others and never do anything positive to improve their own quality of life!!
I smile at people like that and, then wait after eye contact to see if they really have anything to say to me.

Next time tell him the PKE activates an invisible force shield that fries anyone reaching into the cockpit.
Then ask him if he'd like to test it....
