Default GTA carjackings

All these car jackings are ridiculous. Ive seen most of the cars are Toyotas, honda etc. Horrible situation to happen to anyone. I haven't heard of any porsches being targeted. I know they found that Urus last week. I drive with my head on a swivel and try to be aware of my surroundings. How are ya'll feeling about this? Are you nervous when you drive your 911/sports car around the GTA with all that's happening?

Not nervous at all,. If it happens, it happens. My sense is that 911 are not target vehicles .

I do have a Cayenne GTS that would seem to fit the bill. SUVS and sedans are where the action is. Obviously , if someone points a gun in your face the sensible thing is to give them the keys. It's just a car. When I was in the railway business we would sometimes find containers that were fitted out to export stolen cars. I saw one where Jeep Cherokees were strapped up almost vertically like dominoes so they could get a lot of them into the 53' container. The destination was Nigeria.Stolen to order.

I heard of an attempt in Saturn's chat on someone's gt3rs.. brake check to make the porsche on highway... gt3rs was able to change lane dash for it.. the car had 3 or 4 guys can't emembwr wearing masks.. sorry tbe chat is a but blurry to me atm but it was definitely a 911

You'll go to jail only for 12 months tops. That guy who had multiple traffic offences, high on weed, killed the woman and her 3 daughters only got 17 years.

Dihedral doors are a good deterrent.

Another good reason to get the manual transmission. I'd be surprised if any of these geniuses know how to drive one.

Mitch Marner of Toronto Maple Leafs had his SUV jacked at gun point last week. The thieves didn't even recognize him .

School shooting occur everywhere and as a percentage of murders by guns every year is extremely small. Still terrible what happened though.
