Default anti theft huh?

i bought one of those brake locks...that thing that fixes over the brake so you cant press the brake and therefore take the car outta gear...only problem is...the car can go outta gear anyway...anyone else notice that? no matter how tight i put it on the brake i can still take the car out of park

And you dont want them to take it out of park why?
For fear they will roll it into something?
Dont want them to be able to tow it?
They will drag it anyhow. [:'(]

Car wont start without the proper PATS encoded key.

Maybe you need electric line locks.
That will lock up the wheels in a confusing to a theif way.

Why do you want a brake lock? Withoutthe correctPATS key they can't start your car anyway. No more 'hot wiring' on newer cars, that's a thing of the past.

whats an electric line lock?
Its a valve you put on your brake lines that normally
lets fluid pass freely. When activated, it blocks the fluid.
Step on the brakes, activate the blocker valve and release
the brake pedal. The brake calipers stay extended and lock
the brake pads up against the rotors. No moving the vehicle
without dragging it.

our cars have a coded Transponder key that has millions of different combonations. It is impossible to steal our Mustangs w/o a key. You can always push a car to steal it but, good luck with that.

lol.. paranoid much?!..

even though i was thinking today how ****ty that would be if it got stolen...


but for you guys that say it cant be turned on wiht out a key... WRONG... atleast for manual tranny cars.. if they can get in, and then they can get the key cylinder to turn (there for unlocking the steering wheel), they can easily push the car, jump in and dump the clutch in first or second, and off you go ....

dont get any ideas... [>:] ... ill blow your brains out wiht a barretta 44!
