Nice looking car, what've you got hidden under the cover?
Tell me to keep my nose out

Re: My car won't start
The other 2 are again nothing special, but kind of rare due to their age. 97 Ford Probe GT & 89 GMC Suburban.

Re: My car won't start
Y'all are gonna love this. I got bad news, more bad news and really bad news.
Just discovered that the 97 Ford Probe parked on the other side of the RT has the same fob malfunction. Thought the battrees might be dead, stopped on the way to the store and the fob worked. It worked at the store, but when I got home, both of the Ford fobs did not work. Not going to contact FoMoCo as their first question will probably be, "What's a Probe?".
Cadi and BMW responded by saying essentially nothing, but bring the car and/or the bike into the shop. Told them the shops already said they had no clue, but neither manufacturer would provide any help. I am going to try calling BMW.
3 days after I posted the pictures of the Cadi here, it was rear ended hard enough to knock my wife's glasses off, then catapulted her car into the car in front. She's ok, but the estimate is $5000 and that's if they only replace the mufflers and all the other work. Cadi sells the exhaust system as one piece from the headers back for an additional $2000 on top of the 5K. Insurance tried to get me to take it to Zulch Auto Works, but I took it to the only authorized McLaren body shop in AZ. Figured they might have the proper skill set. There were 3 in there yesterday and they had to move a 650S. What a sound!

Starting to think something electrical in garage is causing the issue, I could conger up all kinds of funny antidotes for this problem
If possible shut off all power in garage, if problem should go away, I would unplug everything in garage, turn power back on and see if they start, process of elimination may find culprit
Keep us posted

No garage, carport. Only electrical equipment is an old CD/FM radio. When the bike is not in the carport, the car fob's work.
