Yeesh... back in my day, you got the "what are your intentions toward my daughter?" Speech...

Now its "son can you actually drive a real car?"

Big question is can your daughter drive the Carrara?

Exactly as LexVan stated. I don't leave anything visible in the car and have good insurance. Always lock the doors. In read in my local paper people leave items on the seat and don't lock the car and the valuables are stolen-- use some common sense.

If someone really wants to steel your car they will.

i dont think our cars are desirable to profesional thieves at all .. they are too unique and hard to " move"
joy riders are a bigger cocern.

leave a Honda civic or any SUV unlocked and you have trouble.

gone in 60 seconds.

Bingo!

Most stolen car is probably a grey 2007 Honda Accord. They ship them to Tenn, and part them out to repair shops.

Don't steal the Mona Lisa... somebody might figure out it's missing

She can't hang a new roll of toilet paper to save her life. If it wasn't an absolute manditory bodily function she refused to learn how to do it. Drive?? Bahhh, she has people for that.

Fortunately she gets married in 14 days. We are changing the locks and throwing a party the very next day.

Despite the outlay of too many thousands of dollars for wedding stuffs I did manage to click through Craigslist this morning.

To my surprise I found my unobtainiam level rally lights. Yellow Cibie Super Bi-Oscar in all their naked glory. You have no idea how excited I am. Please feel free to give me all the sh*t you want 'cause I don't give a rat's ****.

Yes, each one has 2 x 100 watt H bulbs.

....and Yes, the driving lights are internally directional.

....and Yes, they really are 7" round.

....and I only paid $100.00. Couldn't get in my truck and drive away fast enough.

When I lived in Houston, I use to leave an empty 44 magnum holster on the seat.

I was concerned about this as well initially...but Porsches are not even in the top 10 of most stolen cars in America.

Just like the manual says, using common sense is the best deterrent: always lock your doors and engage the alarm system; do not leave items inside which might tempt thieves to break in such as loose money or valuables. Park in a well lit area if at nighttime.

Totally, OT... good score!

I had a set of clear 8" Marchals on my old 2002. Mounted on the bumper. Also put h4 conversions replacing the stock headlights. Even with a relay, when I hit the toggle switch, the charging needle went negative... I could light up a football field.

(Back in the day, I've heard rumors that late at night, Godless Hooligans would race sports-cars on the twisty, deserted backroads of Pennsyl-tucky.)

I loved it when some A4$$$ decided not to dim his high beams...
