If you are going to use something like that, use the autolock. It's the only one that really works. The club is a waste of time. The club has ONE major design flaw...it is connected to the steering wheel, something that can easily be cut and the club can be slid out.

I'm still using the club as well. It takes me 5 seconds to put it on and it stows away easily under the passenger seat behind the hump. I use the smaller openings of the wheel when it's straight so it makes it a bit harder for them to saw at it (but doing so damaged the button on the cruise control a bit). You can also use it as a weapon if need it comes down to it...
it takes you 5 seconds to put in and about a minute for a thief to take it out:

picked club

Minute is a long time in some places. It's more of a Visual deterrent and enough to make a random thief second guess their choice. Anything helps.

It's great that there are free tutoring videos for thieves to pick locks. Some retards are just so smart.

Oh ok... thanks for the link.

I've tried one of those before but it seemed kind of flimsy no?... meaning the fitment.
