|mm lets see, how many wish list buzzers does this make it now?
|
|1. lights left on buzzer
|2. key in left in ignition buzzer
|3. low oil pressure buzzer
|4. hand brake on buzzer
|
|
|you might consider adding these also:
|
|6. pop top not latched buzzer
|7. extension cord still in electrical port buzzer
|8. stall warning buzzer
|
|
|maybe cognitive therapy would be easier :)
