Is my car possessed?
WTF man? 
I'm sitting here in my quiet garage surfin the forum on my laptop and the damn horn on the Z goes off. It scared the hell out of me.
The alarm didn't go off - it was a quick 1 beep like when you close the door and hit the lock button to set the alarm.
The first time this happened (about 2 weeks ago), I thought it was kinda funny because I was wrenching on the C3 and had parts from it laying everywhere. It was almost like the C5 was looking out for the C3.
Anyway - this ever happen to you guys?

I've had that happen, too. And one time the alarm went off.
I think it's just sensitive buttons on the remote fob and when you shift in your seat or put your hand in your lap, you inadvertantly hit one of the buttons.
Once I was changing my pants in the house and when I dropped them the car beeped.
