Suddenly, an earth shaking VAROOOM! rattled our flimsy home. I immediately jumped from...

"I've stopped telling her when I think I'll be home," says Mitchell, pointing to the picture of his wife Melina and son Garrett, 10, that is strapped to the outside...
...already treat it like one of the family, so why shouldn't you be able to keep in touch with your car as closely as you do with your children? Think of the possibilities. You could tell the engine to warm itself up half an hour early on a frosty morning. And in return, your car could keep you in good standing with your neighbors by alerting you when its alarm is blaring for no good reason and by allowing you to turn it off--even if you're too far away to hear...
