The sweet sound of sirens

The Star Car got another function today ... something very important to add before we start installing all these gadgets.
An alarm.
Joy, Jon and myself were outside examining how effective the alarm is Friday afternoon. Jon was tapping on the side of the SUV ... Joy started slapping the back of the vehicle.
Then, the siren sounded. It was the loudest I had ever seen...I just knew people could hear it miles away.
It wasn't really the car alarm. It was the air siren at the fire department. They laughed at me.
Nevertheless, the alarm system on the Star Car does work, and it sounded pretty awesome.
I'm sure we won't have to worry about thieves. After all, why would anybody want to stop The Star from giving you all the latest news as it's happening? It wouldn't be robbing The Star, it would be stealing from all of Cleveland County.
Next week, the folks at Carter Chevrolet are going to do some electrical work and help us mount the wireless antennae. Check back Monday for more as the Star Car becomes a reality!
