GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ The Wrong Car !

How many of you have done this ?
I was walking back to my car after Karate last night and it was dark. I went to the door, tried unlocking it 3 times before realising it wasn't my car !!
It was also a completely different, newer model ! 
Luckily nobody saw me as I sheepishly retreated from the car and found mine about 3 spaces up from there..

LOL! at least it was dark. I done that once, in broad daylight! as I was trying the key I only noticed because the interior of the car was so tidy...... so I knew it wasnt mine! same model, same colour and two parking spaces away from my car.

Never had the pleasure of embarrassing myself in that way before.

That reminds me of my wrong car story few years ago.. I walked back to my car after shopping, opened, put the bags on the passenger seat, tried to start the engine.. but the key didn't turn! confused. As I looked into the back I recognized it was too tidy.. mhh, I thought about anything but not that it was a different car I was trying to drive away with (because I opened it with my key).
Long story short, I finally realized that it was somebody else's car (same colors, same seats...) that I was able to open up with my key

hahahaha it didn't happen to me! but it happened in a hotel, I confused the room and I tried to open it many times, I though that the card was broken... fortunately there wasn't anybody at the wrong room.

Classic stories guys, love it !
Can't believe car keys can work on another car, though.........

I believe that you can open a door, but you can't start the car.
I'm so glad I have only seen 2 other cars like mine.

Fortunately, my vehicle is a freak, so I can't mistake it for anything else
Its affectionately known as "The Panda." Its quite obvious why

Nice Rig, Mudbone!
While we are on the subject of keys, how many of you have scared yourself to death because you accidentally activated your panic button on the key fob? I have...and in public. I got sick of being embarrassed and so I put a piece of paper between the contacts and that fixed it! 
No more accidentally scaring the crap out of me. The car alarm has lost its meaning now. Everybody's goes off now because they hit their panic button.

Happend to me last summer! I walked to my own parking spot, put my guitar in the back, got in, and then I realized it's not my car.
I forgot I've parked my car down the street for a reason I now can't seem to remember. Same model, same colors, same car, but not mine.
Embarassing, I know. Got my guitar, looked around to see if someone noticed, and walked to my car.
