just found out tonight that the long factory antenna works wonderful to get your vert unlocked when you lock your keys in the ignition with the car running.  i've been wanting a shorty so now i have no other excuse.  this thread isn't really about letting everyone know how to break into our verts it's more of a security issue....get rid of that long ass coat hanger we've got on the front.  worked good though, lol

Whats you address again.  I don;t want to whole car, just some parts off it......

Gotta get a car alarm if you got a vert.  Mine took a LONG time to install, but it has motion and vibration sensors.  The "brain" took 40 mins to install so it can't be ripped out, and the wires will take bolt cutters to get to.  Looks like there is nothing there though.  But when you really get down to it.  If someone wants your ride, they can get it.

Have to agree with you. My thought is...total loss insurance and gap insurance..just to sleep better at night...

Only problem is at 22 and in college total coverage is a little to high for me.  Just got collision.  Maybe when I have a full time job and the insurance goes down I will do the same.  It was going to be like 3k a year for full coverage and a $500 deductible.  I would be a fool to pay that for a car not worth 5k (To the insurance man, not me).

I was giving you a hard time (But I'm sure you knew that).  Not to start anything, but I'm not exactly a small guy either.  Not that I really want to get into it with someone my size (Hard to rrbound like we did in HS, and I am only 22), but if push comes to shove I can carry my weight.

Really.  I'm only a measly 6,0 200.  I am cutting back on the lbs though.  got up to 220 and jeans got a little tight.  But What year vert are you looking for.  Shipping would be a bitch, but I can always find two or three back home any day of the week.

Well ****.  I pushed 350 in HS when I was going to the gym everyday, now I do about 250 free weights, or 270 with the weight machine when everything else is taken.  Buying new clothes really sucks when you wear a suit to work everyday.  That was the real reason I lost the weight.  buying 4 new suits didn't sounds like a good indea, I would rather have the two grand to put in my car.

OK, read that wrong I guess.  Never been 350.  that would be a little bit of a stretch for me.

Wow that is really something.  I would have never even thought of using that to get into the car.  I guess when your desperate you do what you gotta do.  After reading this I am glad to know that my antenna is a shorty so it can't be used against me.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.

I have been thinking about putting a power antenna on my car for a while now.  One of the books I got when I was like 15 shows exactly how to do it, and it really don;t take that much time.  I think it would look a little odd the first couple times I went to my car though.
