We just had a car show up here in Pigeon Forge the last couple of weeks. As usual every year, a bunch of cars get stolen. An I mean nice collectables. I would think it would be a no brainer to put some type of theft deterant mechinism on these babies.
What do you guys use on your rides to help make sure your baby is where you parked it when you come out of wherever? Looking for some ideas and details. Thanks, Jason |

Sorry but these cars will move in second gear all day long. I remember Bob Seville telling the story when Pappa Smurf was still a baby and he was was surprised to find another gear after starting in second for quite a while. I always leave my car in first to keep it from rolling.
Other than someone targeting a six or a show car, I can’t imagine why someone would steal a 914 vs a modern day car. |
