Has nothing to do with the snow and has everything to do with spark plugs/fouling/and starting abilities/.

Mazda brings a few hunder cars through every 4 weeks

Mileage, pics, cel problem? I'm still nervous about a rwd car in winter. I had a ranger and it sucked *****. But then I talked to a guy who has a 3-series and says with snow tires it handles better than his TL did with all seasons.

Also in the last month we've sold 3 sets of storage container handle/lock bar assemblies to customers who have had theirs chained to pickup trucks and torn off. One guy's insurance company even denied his 30k claim because his saws and job box were stored in a container which they considered a "free standing out-building or shed". Crock of **** considering they also broke into his shop and stole stuff, had he just said the **** was inside his shop they would have covered everything.

Gun ownership must be down.

Well in these cases the owner was off-site during the robbery.

In the case of home invasion, my .45 is in the gun safe next to my bed, magazine loaded with police issue urban combat rounds. Most lethal stopping power, but they don't penetrate walls too well, so I don't shoot the crazy tweaked out meth-head AND my little girl hiding behind her bed in the room behind him. I also have a less-lethal barrel mount stun light that will "day-light" a room, and hopefully cause a tweaker to stop in his tracks and cover his eyes just long enough to identify him and line up a fatal shot. *has Service Master on speed dial*

Home invasions WILL be up BTW. The stars are lining up for it, IMO.

Statistically, poor economy brings more crime and drug abuse.. lack of disposable income and jobs brings meth. As meth addiction goes up so does home invasion. Also, i'm in Cudahy/south milwaukee area which will more than likely be the epicenter for it all. So.. that being said. I'm the 1 in 6 houses (statistically) that a meth head would NOT want to pick.

My landlord owns a carpet store and her son installs the carpeting. He was doing a job in Bayview on Clement St. They had a van there with carpeting and tools. They were working in a unit installing carpeting and a 13 yr old came in and started talking with them. Well, he ended up stealing 2 sets of keys, one for the van they had on the job and one for another van they use which also had all the landlords son's keys on it for his apt. etc. Not only did he take the keys, he stole the van! They later found out he had just gotten out of jail the previous day for grand theft auto. WTF!!!

I'm sure theft is up. It's probably up just about everywhere due to the economy.

Oh and:

Being unemployed = suck
Not having to get up at 5:15am for work = win

Woah! Me too.
My 80# of stopping power likes the family, some extended family, but gets locked up whenever anyone else comes over. He doesn't like cars driving by, people in his house, and strangers in general. He's a pain in the *** sometimes because we have to be mindful of him with guests but he makes me feel comfotable leaving him home to watch over the family.
He does a pretty good job raising hell whenever anyone rings the bell for solicitation. Most conversations are over in two or three words.- try doing that with a gun and staying out of jail.
