I have 2 cars. One of them is my is my winter time go around car which is a 1996 ford Taurus I picked up at an auction for 1500 bucks 7 years ago. Odds on somebody stealing that one are about zero. My other is my baby, my 1966 Toyota FJ-40 which I rescued from the midwest in 1998. That vehicle will be pried from my cold dead fingers. Though not a high risk of theft from regular car thieves, it does have a high risk of theft for joyriding from idiot teenagers. For that one I have a very well hidden kill switch, that is used daily. I can easily afford a nicer in town car, but don’t see the need to impress anybody...besides, people whom I’d be more inclined hang out with are more impressed with the landcruiser.

I had one car. It was a 1994 Buick Century. Who would steal that car?
It was stolen from me a few months ago.
It was found a few days later, engine blown, less than 50 miles away.
Now I am in the hole for many months, paying for a new used car.
Thanks to “cash for clunkers” there are very few dependable used cars left on the market, they were all destroyed.
What I could have bought for cash with the insurance money I received for my fully insured stolen vehicle no longer exists.
