He put on his hat and wrapped his scarf around his jaw, but did without the wig and the sunglasses. He clicked his key chain and the car beeped and the doors locked." That's it?" He looked up. "Sorry?""Aren't you afraid it might get stolen? We're not exactly in a good part of town."" It's got a car alarm."" Don't you, like, cast a spell or something? To keep it safe?"" No. It's a pretty good car alarm. . Derek Landy
About This Quote

When a character describes a car as “pretty good,” they are indicating that the car is a good quality automobile. This is a synonym for “good” or “nice.” A car alarm will only deter an opportunistic thief from stealing the car if the thief has been previously discovered breaking into cars. In this instance, there is no need to cast a spell or perform an incantation to make the car safe because it already is.
