This is an off-shoot of a couple threads earlier this month to specifically address car alarms and their use in a 914.
Anybody have one? Recommend one specifically for a 914? How much do they cost? What are the features and benefits of one over the other? You get the idea. |

The best car alarm is a garage. If you can't garage it, I'd get an alarm that has a proximity detector to protect the interior when the top is off.
I'm personally jaded towards siren alarms. I want an alarm that triggers a gas gun instead of a siren (just kidding). A gas gun is a noise-maker that detonates propane or other combustible in a chamber using a sparkplug or similar ignitor. They are used in old warplanes for movies and airshows to simulate the sound of machine-gun fire. I think the sound of machine-gun fire would be an effective theft deterent. Would also get you in a lot of hot water with the neighbors and the police though. -Ben M. |
