Funny you should mention faking car noises, I've always wanted to develop=
an anti-theft device that would imitate the sound of a battery running
down while cranking. There'd be a switch hidden somewhere under the dash=
=
that would determine if the key sent power to the actual starter or to a
solenoid that would push the "play" button on a tape player. The tape =
player would run off of one AAA battery and have a continuous loop of tap=
e
containing one or more grunts of a starter turning over an engine. As th=
e
AAA battery ran down, the tape would slow down making it sound like the =
battery was running out of juice. The thief would give up in disgust and=
go steal something more reliable like a Fiat. Do you think somebody's =
already patented this idea?

denise, i think the idea would be a hit, but how about adding a backfire =
or
two and perhaps a puff of smoke. :-) j.
