Darn, I was planning on leaving the broomstick at home for +1's sake. I guess I'll have to stow it in the trunk.

She's baaaaack!

Just j/k, I'm sure Skip has "secured the perimeter."

Nope, but I'll be leaving my car outside with the rest of you all's.

See you tomorrow.

Thanks, Dave! All of our cars will be in an open parking lot this weekend a few minutes from I-95 for a quick get away.

Maybe a good reason to not fill the tank on Friday night, but leave it very close to empty so that if it goes stolen they can not get very far before having to re-fuel.

I am reminded of a customer years ago when I was in the motorcycle industry that was selling his Honda Goldwing. He advertised it, someone responded to the add and came to his house to take it for a spin. The tank was empty so he gave the guy five dollars to put gas in it. That was the last he saw of the guy or his bike.

How things change. Used to be that Honda Accords, Civics (especially Civic Si) and Toyota Camrys topped the list, now it's largely SUVs with a few cars.

Matt, you can park yours in my garage. I want to make sure you two get a good night's sleep.

Skip,

My S is purely stock with the exception of the K&N Air Filter and the oil filter drain petcock. So I have no idea which parts you would want to strip off of it ?

actually it still is...that list is a complete fraud. What they don't tell you is the cars they consider...they're only considering new cars. They're not considering the cars that are stolen 90-95% of the time(i.e. the older models, because they're easier to steal and the parts market is why more active). Welcome to the world of sensational and fabricated 'journalism'. To me intentionally misleading is the same a pure fraud and this article is 110% intentionally misleading.

I thought there was something wrong with that list.
