Hi guys, my dad says that since I plan on putting so much into my celi, (interior and exterior red glow, seats reupohlstered in red/black leather, reverse glow gausges, etc...just bragging
 ...) that I should get a fuel cut-off switch hidden in the car to turn off when I leave so the car only has enough fuel to get a few blocks if stolen unless the switch is turned back on. (It closes the fuel line from the tank and leaves the engine with only what it already has) I was just curious as to any methods you guys think would work. I told him the security system I'm leaning toward has starter kill. What is starter kill and is it effective? My dad says that a fuel cut-off is the best bet and I just want to know more about it and how much it would cost and just some general info. Also I would just appreciate any ideas that anyone might have (bucket of water hanging over driver door, giant rolling boulder, boxing glove on a spring, ejector seat, etc.) lol but I seriosly do need ideas. Help me out!!! P.S.- Sorry for this LONG ASS post! |

Whenever you go to park it, just bring a handful of tacks with you. Throw them in front and back of your tires. lol. Just dont forget to remove when you get ready to leave. a theif isnt gonna pay any attention to that. buying new tires is better than buying a new car and finding yours burned down in a feild somewhere stripped completely of anything of any value. (i have a friend that had that happen too) also, i removed the trunk switch in my cab so that you have to have the keys to get into the trunk.
oh my god...all though i was joking about the whole tack thing...i just realized...that might actually work...lol --------------------  Cuz Thats How Us Country Boyz Roll Growing up racing motocross, i learned one thing..."Always wear clean underwear, you never know when the Paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off of you" |

The lever to pop the trunk is broken so they tried messing with the key hole. Didnt happen. IF YOU HAVE A SYSTEM IN YOUR TRUNK, GET RID OF THE TRUNK LEVER, IT MAKES THEM NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STEAL! Edit:this might only work for coupes i think This post has been edited by eggman40: Jul 29, 2006 - 8:50 PM |
