The car is haunted. Will report more as the story develops.
Today I went out to the garage to get some lawn tools and my side mirrors were opening and closing. I didn't have the key on me to start the car. (Yes, I have my car in the garage!! Yes, I have retractable side mirrors!)
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm

Oooooh
Is it new? Or is it a reconditioned car that someone died in previously?
Happy Halloween!!!

I should probably mention I can start my car with my phone.

I saw an article about those car apps, and in using them you agree to let the car company harvest data from you. As I recall, opting out usually requires writing a letter. I chose to forego the app.

What is the advantage of starting your car with your phone?
I mean other than to warm up the getaway car in a bank heist… we’re too old such chicanery now, right?

Gadget. Solely for the sake of gadget. Although, the car does fire up the A/C when it senses me approaching which could be beneficial on a hot day. Also, if I were to lose my keys while I was out, i would still be able to operate my car.

The warning light triggers like every other month now and I dutifully pump it up. Did it just yesterday. The tire is relatively new.
My Meta socials are now flooded with ads for a portable fire inflator that you can store in your glove compartment. The only place I’ve ever mentioned my slow leak is here which leads me to one conclusion:
