If you can afford $84,000 dollars in mods, you can afford a $2000 dollar civic beater car.

I agree with the person who suggested getting a beater. No matter how well you will protect your car from thieves, you will have alot more peace of mind driving your beater car to work. I'm sure that when you're at work, the last thing you want to be worrying about is your car.

This is another reason why I choose S/C with digital gauges that black out.

Nice seats where did you get all the interior from? Um which mall do you work at again

Does your mall have valet parking? If it does spend the extra $5 a day and tell the guy he has to park it within site at all times. Does your mall have a security office that is near parking spots? Or get an alarm with a pager and plan on getting to work early so that you can find a spot that is close to a main entrance.

I know the feeling we all take enjoyment in what we have but sometimes we need to put that on the shelf and take a beater out.

Just drive it - you've got insurance don't you? sometimes i wonder why people freet so much - if your car gets stolen get another on - or if you're really worried get a two way alarm, lojack and a cover

afterall it's just a Honda

He could be a store manager, he could be the mall manager, there's a variety of jobs and income at the mall.

Hey guys thanks for the input.. I have been parking by a camera in the garage. But I still don't feel safe. There is patrol and the sheriffs office is 1 block away. I am in the management team at a store and I cant stop woring about the car. Yeah I bet my seats would look nice in a civic hah. . I am going to check into valet parking today but I don't think they park it close, good idea though. also I am going to check into an alarm and getting a beater..

2 way pager is good, but if you're in a mall, chances you won't be notified while you are in there.
