club is good at least for a deterent from casual theives. Otherwise if a pro wants your car hes going to get it, so best advice is not to leave anything important in the car and hope if it gets stolen you never see it again.

lol NO guys PLEASE dont believe the autolock will save your car!
my car was stolen with 2 autolocks . it was driven away!
then my friend showed me how to break an autolock with a reallllly basic tool in 10 seconds!
IMHO, in the s2000, the autolock is the BEST security measure. Due to the shape of the s2000 dash, and the location of the clutch, it is impossible to get the autolock off without getting down on your knees, with your back to the outside, and trying to get it off. No thief will risk it. Sure, it can be beat, but in the s2000, it's not as easy as other cars.

Your prob right. Im sure it would be a bit harder on the S especially for a big guy like me (6'2"). After having a car stolen with a anti-theft device it takes your faith in that device away for good lol

I thought this was a great idea. I'm not sure why I never really see it around anymore. The infomercial was only around for a short period of time.

I still use a club from time to time. Even a pro will need more time to remove one than if it were not there. That extra time could be just enough to spook him or whatever.

yeah, i never thought of it as a weapon, i have a "truck club" so it's rather large, lol

i guess i just like to deter a joy rider and maybe slow a pro down a second or two


i think that if i ever get into doing some work on the car, i'd like a fuel cut or something similar
