hey dirty work, some of us lovers of the second amendment also have big dks. why dont you come visit and see? also we dont know kung fu like all you chuck norris lovers in vancuver (i couldnt care less how you spell vancouver) the only reason i ever go there is on my way to ski whistler/blackcomb (i know how to spell the important things like ski resorts, not lame cities somewhere north of washington state). so vancoover (still dont care how to spell it) is like a pit stop to somewhere else (actually i do remember something about cheap hos in vankoover). i take it back, its a worthwhole city

check out the picture of dirty work's car. look at the wall in the background, just proves that vancoover is a filthy little (s) htty (oops meant to say city), hey dirty work, is that a poopy smear on the wall in back of your car? would all city's look that dirty if we didnt pack heat? reason enought to carry. just remember the second amendment aint about duck hunting, vancouver would be russia without the americans to fight for you and your french parents would be speaking german. express gratitude that we buy your cheap goods

They really need to make somekind of metal sheild that goes over the head unit, like they do in banks when someone tries to rob them.

My car has been sitting in the driveway for 4 days with the top down and I haven't been going outside really...I doubt they will take the head unit without the face plate...oh, can't forget about those stock speakers either...

Livin' with a convertiblein S. Florida, it's always a gamble...

1st choice - tops down, there's a good chance it'll rain
2nd choice - tops up, some fool might wanna cut it, to get in
3rd choice - tops down, you make sure everything is outta sight & locked away
4th choice - tops up and you'll reallyappreciate air conditioning

Fortunately, my stang vert lives in the garage most all days & at night.
Though when I'm out & about, unless it looks like rain, the top usually just stays the way it was.
If it's up, it stays up, if it's down, it stays down.

On the other hand, I do like being aware of where & how I park when out in public.
At night, I like to make sure she is nose out thus having the front seats visible to passers-by.
I believe this dissuades some car theives.
Maybe true, maybe not, but it's part of my being consciousof the surroundings.

it depends on the weather, an 1/8 inch thick peice of vinal is not going to stop someone with a razor blade who really wants your head unit/CDs/Radar detector etc, sometimes if i park with it up ill even leave the doors unlocked for the simple fact id rather replace a $100 radar detector or $150 worth of CDs vs a $500+ top AND the $XXX worth of stolen goods

Hey chef, thanks for continuing to advance the american stereotype. Vancouver would be russia? wtf? My french parents would be german? maybe you should learn a little history before making a fool out of yourself for all to see. The only reason anyone would invade canada is to get to the United states. Try traveling abroad with a US flag patch on your backpack, see where that gets you. You may want to "pack your heat"

Oh by the way, how's that crumbling US dollar? thinkI might go south and support your country and buy some of your cheap goods.

I let my daughter borrow our vert to go check her work schedule at the local pizza place,she went into the restaurant and left the top down on the car. She came home about 45 minutes and told me some a**hole had dumped a full beer all over the interior of the car and left the beer can on the drivers seat. I could have killed somebody over that, if I knew who did it I would probably still be in jail[:@]
