talk to warren buffet. he "owns" the car insurance industry and doesn't like to lose money paying out on theft claims. methinks our beloved lawmakers [and their minions] listen to him much more carefully than they do the mere proles that "elect" them.
wow, you're an unsuspecting innocent!
you failed to install the "rottweiler" and "glock45" security options.

Oh yes, I'm well aware it can start the car as well as open the door. So I keep it on the key ring as my spare, and if I were to even lose (yes, one "o" in "lose," folks) the main key, the valet key can be used to get me home (where I have my spare fancy key).
And for every "improved" mousetrap, innovative "mice" will figure out a work around...

I prefer the Glock 19 (9mm) solution...

Hell, my old ancient Civics don't have 'lectric doorlocks or windoze for that matter. I do not miss either...

No,Congress is -supposed- to have the intelligence and morals to act in the people's best interests. Instead,they go for the highest bidder. We really need term limits;NO careers in Congress. That's the only practical way to fix the problem.
BTW,many lobbyists used to BE members of Congress.
I had the second covered. "Gone in 60 seconds" is pretty accurate.

How about two Glock 18's, full auto 9mm, each with a 33 round magazine?
My Mazda Miata is a 1991 model and it also has manual door locks and windows.
That car also has no A/C, no power steering, and no cruise control. It is a pretty basic vehicle except for the turbo, and I also prefer it this way. Even the stereo is long gone, though a new one is in the plans.
you mean "job"! ain't that the truth.
Sheeeeeeyit!
Too easy to empty your wallet in a hurry.

Yep, my current driver, an -82 1500 automatic (Civic) is the same and the stereo went bellyup about a month ago. I have a brand new one but just haven't mustered the courage to figure out the clusterf*ck that the previous owner created with an after market butcher job.
Soon, the car will be painted GM white to minimize the lack of A/C.

We have lived in the same town for long enough that I have probably seen you around, especially if you are ever North-Central, and I tend to notice cars from the 80's. What color is your Civic? Just curious.
I need to figure out a few things on a Kenwood stereo that I came into possession of a while back. It is nothing special but it does play CD's and it was free.
I live in Garfield just about fifteen miles east of downtown. The '82 automatic is in primer and my other '82, a 1300 bare bones Yugo trim level is blue.
That's why it was free!

Thus spake steve :
Okay, just a suggestion. Only use the remote to lock the car. You will NEVER lock yourself out.
Or, as I did for years and years before I bought my 96 Civic EX, use the key to lock the door. I'm not sure, but I don't think you can even lock the door the way you used to do (pull the handle and hit the lock). I know my Fit won't do that.
If you put a key under the fender (number one place to look) and the insurance company finds out about, you will not only not get paid, you'll be dropped and very likely no one else will pick you up, or you'll pay an arm and a leg up the ass and out the mouth.
Thus spake steve :
A decent dealer would explain that to you in about the first two minutes of handing over the car. Mine always have.
Heh-heh, I guess I get what I pay for. It's not that bad, though, it looks OK, pulls in radio stations and plays my bad music CD's, just no USB connections, fancy display screens, satellite radio, etc.
It is kind of old school, I guess, but the stereo in my Accord plays cassettes only, I am not sure if it is retro or just sad.
My factory Honda stereo should probably be replaced first. That is actually the only thing I am looking to upgrade on this car. :-)
