Default HELP!!! loud beeping noise while driving

today my fiancee was driving to class and the car started to beep very loudly and would not stop
it was coming from the same area as the lock unlock sound... there were no warning lights or anything on the dash but she pulled over and parked the car there. im at work and cant get ahold of my service guy at the dealer any ideas what this could be??????

That made me laugh. I was doing that all afternoon.

Snow is melting, wet spots all over the place, and I kept pushing the limits of on/off ramps.

I don't actually have anything to contribute to this thread.
