Funny thing about Keyless-Entry
As you know, I won the Ford Fiesta for 6 months so I've been finding cool little knicks about it, like how the rear-view mirror dims so headlights behind you don't blind you.
The Fiesta also has this cool thing called Keyless-entry. Each of the agents were equipped with a Fiesta hub, thats pretty much just the car remote yet there is no actual KEY. Anyway, as long as this hub is with you, you can push a button on the door handle to unlock the car and the Fiesta also has Push-To-Start, allowing you to push the power button to start the car as long as you have the hub in the car.
The cool thing about the hub is that really you just need it on you to start the car. As long as you have it started, you can literally throw the hub out of the window and drive away.
But the bad part about throwing the hub away means once you stop the car, you can't start it again. Tough luck.
Well, I had a scare today. I was out about 30-45 miles away from my house when I couldn't find my keys/hub. I searched my purse, my car, everywhere and couldn't find it. If the key hub is in the car, you can't lock the car again by pushing the button on the door handle. It senses it, making it virtually impossible to lock your keys in your car.
I noticed when I grabbed my purse that the doors wouldn't lock. It HAD to be somewhere in the car.
The car also has a button on the console allowing you to lock your doors with the push of the button. I tried pushing this and the doors locked. All of them. Didn't unlock.
Me, freaking out, got outside of my car and went into the gas station I was stopped. When I came back out, the driver's side door was locked...and...as I forgot before, I didn't have the key. Yeah, I was freaking out.
You're kidding me! was all I could think to myself.
I ran around to the other side of the car and to my luck, it was unlocked. The key was somewhere in the car. I just had to find it.
To make a long story short, turns out since I was in a rush to get out of the house when I left, I threw my pillow, knapsack and laptop bag in my trunk, along with my keys. With me still able to start the car, I didn't realize it wasn't in my purse.
Okay. I can breathe now.

Road Rage
I just got done spending over an hour in stop-and-go-10mph-or-less traffic. It was quite a workout. I never thought I would lose weight in traffic until I started driving the Ford Fiesta. Working the clutch and driving with tint-less windows sure makes you feel like you're running laps...or doing crunches...out in the sun.
What I'm trying to get to is that a man driving a tow truck next to me in traffic witnessed my first rage attack on the road. All I did was the typical OfficeSpace Samir steering wheel shake but it was pretty big for me.
Poor car. It just doesn't deserve the Texas weather. The A/C just doesn't seem strong enough to cool it and I can just sense the decals on the sides melting in the sun.

Question from someone important
Someone important: (condescendingly) Why isn't your favorite color purple anymore?
Jane: Oh I just change every once in a while.
Someone important: So what is your favorite color now?
Jane: Well, I'm not set. I'm stuck between red and green.
Someone important: So...brown.
Jane: Oh I just change every once in a while.

1st Mission Exposed
AGENT 48, if you wish to continue to begin your highly confidential mission, please press "Continue".
[*Continue*]
AGENT 48, as you know, you were chosen from over 4000 to become one of the top anticipated levels of the year. For this, I applaud.
[Stadium applause heard from speakers]
Now, your first mission will be exposed to you. Please attach the cords provided in the hatch above you to your temples on either side of your head. These will read your inner thoughts. In order to qualify to proceed with the mission, you must have a brain wave of 480-560 tps.
[Hatch opens, revealing wires and instructions in German. *Attaches*]
[7 beeps, pause, 2 beeps, pause, long beeeeeeeeeeep]
We will now proceed.
AGENT 48, your first mission will involve the satisfaction for mortal hunger. Surrounding your city of settlement, we have strategically placed hundreds of food preparation houses. Most of these prepare food at high speed. Of these places you must choose. With the preloaded credit card you will now find in your front pocket, you will need to drive your provided FORD FIESTA and find and enter a "fast food" establishment of your choice of favor and proceed to speak with the cash handling representative. You will need to make it clear that you will need each item featured on the menu above you. The representative may ask you to repeat this order. I give permission to do so until this person is clearly made known your request. Once payment has been transferred, you must wait until each item is prepared correctly.
As you can see from the hologram, there will be more than just you. In order for this to happen, you will need to provide your own choice of help. We will name these as trustees. The trustees aide you in transfer of the prepared food to your destination.
[hologram animates]
AGENT 48, when the food is finished, you and the trustees will need to take the food in your provided FORD FIESTA to a public establishment of your choice and disperse it all civilians.
You, nor the trustees, may NOT consume of any of the food.
The mission must be recorded by you or any trustee with any media device, including your provided SONY WEBBIE HD CAMERA.
[long beeeeeeeeeeeeeep]
This mission is to take place on the twenty first of the 5th month of our calendar during the year 2009 AD.
[another long beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep]
AGENT 48, keep in mind one thing:
I did it for the lulz. ;)
The mission is true though. Keep posted for new info coming soon.
