Default Caution - Horn Suddenly Blows While Cleaning Windshield
Be prepared - scared the sh*t out of me!

If you are working outside the car while your wife or girlfriend is helping you by cleaning the inside of the windshield and the horn suddenly blows . . . you are a lucky guy!

Had something similar happen to me.

I was in the garage all by myself, nice and quiet except for the radio which I always have on. My defensive status is very low at this point because I am the only one there. I squat down right in front of the car and the panic alarm goes off...Blaaahhhhh!!!! I didn't know whether to **** or go blind....

It seems something in my pocket pressed the panic button on the remote at the precise moment I was doing the wax off thing...

Never let your guard down....
