I had a buddy that used the cigarette lighter as a kill switch. Used it to power up a main relay. Put it in your pocket and take it with you. 99% of theives will not have an extra plug in lighter with them.

That has *some* cool factor. And I've also done the "pack the rotor with me" thing.

But you's guys are still packing baggage.

I go back to my days of wearing only board shorts, and bailing out to the water. I don't want to be packing a key, no less a freakin' cigarette lighter plug.

I always went with a hidden switch. No door locks (nobody busted my windows). No nothin.... Sigh, memories.
