A steering wheel lock will even slow down (maybe a matter of seconds) professionals.
Plus, it looks strange when driving out of the parking lot with a lost ticket and a cut steering wheel.

Smile RX8- 2nd

Well picekd up my new one today- almost got divorced over color selection- I wanted to go with the gray- my better half wanted the same color-blue, anyway I love my new BLUE 8-
I can see no difference at this point between the 04 and the 05, except got the MT this time around, and I think I'm a tad to big for the sunroof.
Anyway-life is good again-

Congrats, welcome back to the cult!!! Good decision on the MT! Now, turn TCS off, rev to 6000rpm and let the clutch fly...HOLD ON.

Well, that didn't take too long, although it probably seemed like an age to you. Welcome back and enjoy your new blue ride.

I understand the better half...lol, I thought of getting my 8 in white but MY better half said white was (blah) and black said (Ohhh mama)...lol, so I went with black.

Enjoy!

See that's why I have to buy all my toys before I get married. Otherwise I'll have to ask the other half whether I can buy it or not.

Time for a Ferrari... :P

Good to have you back FB. Sorry but I don't think you ever told us what ever became of your stolen 8. I know you said they got the plates and other items but what about the actual car?

Naaa, but when you married it's about "US", not so much me...so we have to be somewhat practical....

Heck, that my wife understood my love for cars and did not fight buying the 8 to much, made me love her that much more...LOL

Glad you got a ride again so quickly, man. What a sucky experience. Did you change anything other than the tranny on the new car, or happy as you had it?

Outlaws eXtreme, you just gotta find the right woman. One who politely smiles at the thought of buying a blindingly yellow car, who parks it at the far, empty end of the parking lot if she drives it, and thinks it's cute that you peek in the garage every night before you go to bed.
