queston: would any of u feel safe leaving ur sol out in the street that you are not comfortable of even though you have a detachable steering wheel?is there a posible way to get your sol jacked?cus im thinking of buying one.

 

If they want it theyl take it. Nothing can beat a flatbed/trailer. It really depends where you live.

*edit: bay area cali huh? If ya gotta leave it in the street, go for the sleeper look, and do everything you can to keep it safe.

even if u turn ur steering wheel to the left or right then release the steering they would have hard time trying to tow it right?ive had my old hatch towed out of my driveway they put a rope on my front tow hook and it came back with no motor and im sceard to park my sol where i got my hatch jacked.right now my sol is sleeping in one of my boys garage so i need to come up with something to prevent that from happening agen so please help.......

 

All i can tell ya is get real creative with some kill switches, get a good paging alarm, a removable steering wheel, take off your liscense plates at night.... i dunno if they want it bad enough theyre gonna take it.... you can make it hard, but you can never make it impossible.

Other than that its sleep in your car with a sawed off shotgun.

but a 9mm with a silencer is soo much quieter and less messy

here's what I'd do:
-good alarm (paging system is always a good idea in bad neighborhoods)
-Go to a good trustworthy shop to get it installed and pay them extra to "hide" it ie: alarm not in the middle of th firewall!(if of course you can't install it yourself)
-Add a tilt sensor(goes off as soon as the angle of the car changes, no matter how quickly or slowly they change the angle of it)
-hidden kill switches
-the NRG hub system with the locking cap

I've got everything except the NRG hub system and feel very safe...in most areas. But, as solerizr said, definately don't do anything flashy if you're trying to keep a low profile, and if they want it bad enough they'll get it

Ahhhh I see my ****** have been hard at work! Mornin!

Neil and Ian, since you asked, my engine is running like a turkey. Even though it's running at acceptable levels, I saw alot of exhaust coming out, like I mean ALOT! At first I thought it was from the cold and cold start, but it continued even as it warmed up. Temp was fine, idle fine, water and oil levels fine...

I guess I'll tackle that problem in Febuary after the Crash course and repaint. Yeah I said it.

 

Whoa back the truck up. Explain. the same guy gonna fix the paint or shell out for it?

Evenin'

I only pay once. The same guys gonna fix it wether he wants to or not. Just not now, I got a 1 month crash course where I need my car to commute and after that it's going back in.
