    Ok, remote control lift drop? Can’t have a lawsuit without a witness…

    the Conex box was special and a lawsuit was no issue- it was at an old military facility and held old UXO.

    Why not?

    1. Loud
    2. Not great for the truck?
    3. You won’t be passing smog
    4. A bored/annoyed LEO can ticket you for it

    Ha MPs would have a field day with that.

    Thief: I tried to steal that cat, it spewed gasoline at me.

    I know. I was poking fun at Wyoming’s stance on EVs.

    I also thought about using material like the Kevlar thread that they put in chainsaw chaps, it’s heat resistant and would mess up a abrasive cutter too.

    Ooooh, that. That was a gag anyway. Nobody here wants an EV because they aren't feasible here. We drive too many miles in weather that is too cold with too much wind and elevation.

    Well other than leaving said crime infested location, I would use some cat shields at minimum and find a place to park inside overnight like a garage. If it’s happened twice and you haven’t done anything to protect yourself, I’m betting pineapples to penis pumps it’s gonna happen a third time.

    You don’t want to get stuck in the middle of nowhere, buried under 3 feet of snow, with a dead battery and no way to recharge it?

    Yeah it was more of a statement. Wyoming is oil country. Will be one of the last states to fully adopt EVs, if full adoption ever occurs.

    You’re arguing OC is one of the safest places in the country?

    I mean this respectfully, but how high are you right now?

    Cat shield will send the tweeker on his way. Easier targets out there.

    Or, simply outlaw the resale of a cat, nobody buys them, tweeker moves on to other things, like your wheels/tires, or your home goods.
    Or, allow people to shoot thieves on sight.
