1. drop the car off at local tire place
2. get a phone call saying they stripped the lugs on one wheel so it'll take longer.
3. hours go by.
4. get a call saying my car remoted started by it self need to come down asap.
5. haul ass down there to find my car's front end wedged up against 92 grand am's rear bumper.
6. i start laughing because i don't know what else to do.

car started by itself? Sounds like a coverup to me. And put itself into gear and revved up and launched itself. just can't see it building up that kind of momentum.
on the shop.
likely scenario- guy thinks he put it into reverse, actually in sixth, dropped clutch, hit car in front. bummer.

I know of a car that try to start it's self and rolled forward into a motorcycle, and the start stayed engaged until the wires got so hot it started a fire and burned the front half of the car. This car was a car that didn't need the clutch pedal pushed in to start, like on a remote start system.
It sucks when something like this happens, and you can has to be fixed, nomatter who falt.

moyopoyo@aol.com . if you send them to me i can host it. if you don't want them hosted, i understand.
awesome that they're working on it, and not denying that it was their fault.
