Went in the tire store the other day, looking at tires for my 84 camaro. When I came back out, there was a real nice lexus sitting right beside my car. I started it up and gave it a quick rev then heard this horn blowing. Looked out my window and realized I had set off the lexus's alarm. I laughed all the way home!!! Has this happend to anyone else??

 

All the time...the best part is when you ride by a group of ricers and toss them a rev and set off their alarms. They seem to get all pissed off

 

dude i went to china town in chicago,, and ther were 5 ricers sitting in a row,, i turned around light them up and all i heard was 5 car alarms! i was like.....my job is done.

 

that is one of the good things about riding a Harley!!!!!!!!
especially now that i have drag pipes on the bike, car alarms hate me. and so do my neighbors.

When I had a straight pipe on my VW, I actually set off the building alarm in a local collectable card store.

My personal fav is parking garages. One rumble through the garage with the Iroc and I own all alarm systems.

 

I was running an open exhaust after the Y-pipe for awhile [too lazy to bolt it back up ]. Started up the car, and drove off perfectly normal then set the alarm in the next car off. Don't try ordering from a drive-thru like that. Not possible with those crappy intercom boxes

 

Done it a few times and got me by suprise. Just driving along by the highschool and all of a sudden hear a couple of alarms going off hehe Then of course, in the parking lots.

All hail rumbley exhaust systems :hail:

 

I set them off all the time with my V6 too.. Its really funny.... couple quick rev's and then BERNT BERNT BERNT WAH WAH WAH LOL... I did it at a freinds old apt complex and he came out cause HIS alarm was going off too...

Course now it will happen alot more 'cause I got HEADERS and a cat back with no CAT. I am running the "Y" pipe right beside the trans over the mount bar. Hell I will probly light up the night too with fire!.

 

ya with my lincoln setting off car alarms became old after about the 100th one. But when I set off my neighbors house alarm now that was awesome..lol

 

Mine does that too, sets all kinds of alarms off. Got that real nice deep rumble, kinda shakes everything. My parents told me not to let my car even idle in the drive way, either put it in the garage or on the street, cause it shakes and rattles the windows on the house.
