  > Do you do the thing where you hit it a bunch of times to blast the horn and show off that 90s tech because you need people to see how cool you are? Heh, I do this but it's because depressing the button on my remote doesn't guarantee that the alarm will arm. The sound of the chirp is key to whatever mode I put it in. I could also just use my phone, but the app is stupidly slow and I kind of hate that my car has an app. I'd much prefer the equivalent of dance dance revolution on a 90s key fob than accept all the things that come with an app.

    I sort of like I can lock my newish car silently by just touching the door handle while still having the usual fob functions if I’m not sure exactly where my car is.

What part of steelframe's response suggested that steelframe likes letting other people hear the parked car's location, never mind honking?
