i think my boxster is possessed. either that or it's some electrical or ignition failure.

i drove it today and it was fine. even now, the alarm goes on and off okay. when the ignition key is half-way turned everything works: radio, lights, air.

but when i try to start the car, lights blink everywhere, and the windows go up and down...like the car is possessed. and of course it won't start.

anyone have any idea what this could be? do i need to have it towed to the nearest dealer? (beverly hills or pasadena, for those in LA)

and do you think this'll be something covered by extended warranty or not? i hope it's not a big deal...
