Now, be honest, is that baby gate really going to keep Fido out of the front seat if he chooses to sit there...I think not...

Fantastic pic. Was the mailman walking by when you took that pic?

I asked him if he had any objections to being neutered. After his response, I told him never mind.

Im always a firm believer of keeping it locked and in a spot where its easy to see. If its in a back corner of a parking garage or on the side of your house with no way to see it, I think youre more likely. I just hope that people dont show up with a ratchet set to steal my stuff. Plus it doesnt hurt that me and all my neighbors have guns and use them quite often, gotta love a military town in Alabama.

I had a buddy in college who had an old clunker that had been stolen by joyriders a few times & had a punched ignition as a result.

What he would do when he parked it up overnight in the bad area where his dorm was located was get spare out of the trunk, sit it under the front bumper, and attach it to the frame underneath with a length of 1/2" anchor chain and a big-ass padlock; worked a treat as a theft deterrent (pretty hard to drive off in a car with the spare wheel jammed hard underneath the front end).
