Rick, great lookin car!

Unsolicited advice:
Never EVER post photos with your license plates unmasked. Sadly, there are people who can and will track down the location of valuable cars via DMV and steal them. I know of a Jesse James built chopper and a 911GT2 that were grabbed by precisely those means.

The plate thing has been brought up before. Do you cover your plates when you take your car to car shows or drive it down a public road? Flip through any car magazine and count how many plates you can read.

I agree, it's good to be cautious, but there's a point where you have to be realistic.

That is why they make Lojack and Colt 45's. :thumbsup: If a professional thief wanted a car, he could probably find a way. It sucks but that's the way things are in life...so enjoy you cars and be careful.

Well whatever, do what you feel comfortable with. I'd just hate to see you get your car back in the condition my former co-worker got his chopper back in (yikes!). As for the Colt .45....you can't be home all the time and the bad guys know it.

The GT2 was lifted right out of the parking lot at Cisco Systems in San Jose. They just tailed the guy to work and waited for him to go in and flat-bedded it. They caught the theif, but not before the car dissapeared.

It sucks that we can't even trust our cars in parking lots. Damn thieves.

Rick the car is preyyy sweet it look great my hat is off to you! :hail:

Speaking of cars in parking lots. The only time my car is at a parking lot is when I am cruising and I am still out side with it. These are not cars you would want to take to walmart while you shop. I mean not just because people might steal them but because you dont know if a shopping cart is going to hit it or some fat chick who wants to park next to you even though you parked in Egypt.

I have only left my car alone at a gass station to pay.

markssz28, pay at the pump. :)

As I also worry about my car being stolen, I don't let it dictate what I'm going to do with it, where I drive it (for he most part) or where I park it. If I can't enjoy the car because Im worried about parking it at a movie theatre, or a restaurant, what really is the point? I can understand the door ding thing, as I've received a few, though I try not to freak out about it. Thats the exact reason I didn't lay a $15,000 paint job on it. And forget fat chicks at Wal-Mart, as I havent gotten any dings there, there snothing worse than a college parking lot. :( But to worry as much as never leaving the car alone outside of paying for gas, do you freak out about possible rock chips? Might as well just keep it in the garage and trailer it to car shows. Why even register the darn thing? Granted thats a little extreme, and some of you guys might actually drive your cars (though I sometimes wonder, like when I see a car wheeled out on little pieces of carpet - not a poke at anyone in particular, just an example). If a thief wants your car bad enough, he's going to take it, irregardles of what you do. You can have your multiple layers of defence, but in the end, a professional theif will take it anyway. You may be able to stop the joyriders, though. It just seems a shame to build a car with long haul comfort and tooooons of streetability when your afraid to actually drive it anywhere. But, I'm not much into show cars, so maybe I just don't understand. :faint:
