To the editor:
Most cars, new or used, usually have problems that need repair. It could be calipers, u-joints, seals or whatever.
One thing that never seems to fail is the warning lights or alarms. Have you ever heard someone say, "My seatbelt alarm wasn't working, but luckily my mechanic squeezed me in and fixed it for a low cost."
To prove this point, I followed my car that was destined for the salvage yard. It was loaded on a flat-bed trailer. To my amazement, the fasten-your-seatbelt alarm screamed the entire trip ... ding-ding, ding-ding, ding-ding.
Next, the vehicle was placed in the car crusher. When it was completely flattened, I looked in and would you believe, the door-ajar light came on.
Finally, when my auto hit the blast furnace, it become a molten soup of melted steel. Suddenly, floating to the surface was a flashing light, brighter as the star on a Christmas tree ... check engine, check engine, check engine.
My question is, why can't the rest of the car work as efficiently as the alarm system?
