A while back I recall two or three people made comments about driving
around in their Bugeyes and setting off car alarms everywhere.
Years ago I remember it being said that old Fords with generators
would cause static on your radio when they drove by.
Is this related??
Anybody know just what it is about the early Spridgets that caused
the alarms to go off? Generator? Ignition? Other?? Defective parts or
just the nature of the design? Loud exhaust causing enough noise/vibration
to rattle the alarms' motion sensors?
Just seems like there might be a use for this kinda knowledge SOMEwhere...

I remember someone on a ham radio list talking about sitting at a
stoplight next to a GM product. Everytime he keyed his microphone the
GM car's engine would stall. (A little shielding problem around somebody's
computer! ;-)) Didn't do it to -all- GM cars, just this particular one.
