Rottweiler. $600 and probably $10 a week to feed. Make sure to crack the windows.

Honestly, I wouldnt spend the money. If someone wants your car, they will have it. It sucks, but thats the plain truth. Just invest in a gun. Or, Ive heard good things about clifford alarms. Or viper.

just get a blue or red LED...hook it up to a switch and some sort of circuit board so it will flash like every 2 seconds.....that should deter them....its cheap n may "imitate" some people.....haha...thats wat i would do if cause i dont have the money....

Thats real bad what happened to that Cobra but it could of been stolen on a Flatbed and with no alarm sounding no1 will notice. I say get an alarm that makes noise plus the new Clifford has a paging system so if someone is messing with your Stang your alarm pad will notify you.

i'm actually getting the viper responder installed today. it has the pager to let me know what happence if a warning chirp or full alram is set off. i'm getting it installed for $400. that's the alarm, the trunk opener, and some type of relay that's in the car because of the vert. I will let you guys know how it turns out. My brother in law is getting the same thing in his stang his got a 95 gt vert. He picked the car up last week and over the weekend some punk kids through eggs at it . not sure what an alarm can do about that but it makes him feel safer.
