    i found that if you live in fear shit will always happen. I used to have a badass gto and id be the guy that parks way outside the store and walk from eastmofuck to keep my car isolated and walk out and see 3 cars parked all around me and a door ding... the truck i had at the same time was equally valuble but i cared less because it was a truck. not a scratch after 3yrs of ownership.

    another time i was riding with a buddy. he had an r6 i had a hayabusa. we went to the mall to meet up with his girlfriend when we left his bike was gone, stolen... i left the keys in the ignition and my bike was still there. his was never recovered, he took his key and had the forks locked and hes the most paranoid person ever.

    proof if you live in fear shit will happen to you...

    IMO its worth it if you enjoy modding and working on your truck..if you're truck is respectable no one will mess with it.

    depending on your policy. My liberty mutual included a $1000 coverage for aftermarket items for free and it was only ten bucks more a month for an additional $1500 of coverage on aftermarket item.

    I got hit on my bike a few years ago and it was totoalled. the insurance gave me money for the exhaust, power cammander, dyno tuning, and custom paint. Keep your recipts

    that is neat, but there are not to many rim theifs that lug around a vise
    to get the nut out. when i watching that, that was the first thing i thought of when it started, how would you get the nut out of the socket.
    you would have to go through that whole process 4 times.
    it just seems that they it would be easier to steal a diffrent set of rims without locks. crackheads however do stupid crap all the time, so who knows.:cool:

    Because you have the whees and tires that they want for their Taco.

    "to get the nut out. when i watching that, that was the first thing i thought of when it started, how would you get the nut out of the socket."
    Carry four sockets.
