When your car refuses to accept you | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

When your car refuses to unlock, a Northwest Arkansas reporter repeats a similar parking-lot mishap, underscoring how easy it is to mistake a near-identical vehicle. The piece recounts fumbling with a key fob at a fitness center, hearing beeps but finding no entry, and discovering the wrong car despite the same color and interior. The author eventually locates her actual car nearby, which responds to the fob, while noting the Corolla as the best-selling hybrid with a long history. The essay blends humor with a reminder that car ownership can be full of surprising twists.
