    What does it take to set off an alarm?

    As the title says, what does it take to set off a 97 explorer alarm? I know some get set off by noise, some by motion, some by getting hit. My stepdads saturn if you locked it with the key fab and unlocked it with the key it would go off. Why i ask is because over the weekend my alarm went...

    Truck VS. Wall

    Ok, so this is what happens when you and a friend are out at 3am looking for his keys to a Nissan Frontier. This is what i started with, pulling a 92 Camry with a blown clutch. This is the day after it had happened and i had ripped most of the front end off. I plan on fixing the whole...
