PAAK - saved the day.

Can't believe I am writing that.

Wife and I have spent the last week edging beds and spreading 30 yards of mulch. Today we knew a storm was coming, so we worked through lunch. Decided to eat around 2 and couldn't open the garage. Realized the power was out, noticed neighbors' generators running. Keys inside the house. Rain and wind coming in an hour. Hungry, wife wants to use bathroom.

Car was in driveway because we had to to get to stuff in front of it.
After unsuccessfully trying to catch the pull rope with a coat hanger (I have it secured), used PAAK to drive to friend's house, use bathroom, and eat some food.

Guess it is good that it worked...

Power came back on 2 hours after it went off. Storm was uneventful.

"Hi, great to see you. Can we use your bathroom?"

And you wonder why your friends hide when you ring the doorbell.

oh, be careful now....you might become Ford's PAAK Poster child......I feel a testimonial advertisement coming your way.

The story would be even more amazing if you didn't have your phone with you but could use your door and start-up codes to go to your friend!

Can you lock the car with the “keypad” with your keyflob inside?

 

[RickMachE]

Yes. 7/8 9/0 together.

If you had a Lightning then your ride would have been powering your house.

Time to get a smart lock on your front door. Or at least hide a key to your house somewhere outside.

Actually, we painted the front door a few weeks ago, and I had a smart lock to install, but we didn't have time... Have one on the garage door, which is inside the big garage doors that operate on electricity...

That would be rude.

We called first.

After we used the bathroom, we asked for food too. Two PBJs and a pear.
