I would advise anyone who has a gun to join the NRA and get insurance. If you have to use a gun for protection for any reason  you’ll need a lawyer. In Texas they have a castle law that includes your vehicle. The problem is laws very in each state. My wife bought a gun it stays home. Until they make a national carry license I wouldn’t take the chance. Even if they do your vary limited to were you can carry. So the bad guys have them.

I once got into it with a guy who attempted to take my 72 lark with his repo truck. While i was in it. The car is titled to me... After our verbal alteration I called the police. They stated if he actually hooked up I would not be at fault if things went furthure. Moral if you let them make their attempt you are at no fault for protecting your goods. As stated each state has their own rules, but I'll be... If im letting someone take what I worked hard for and think insurance will cover 100%.

Sadly many states have laws that don't let you shoot someone just to protect your property.

Self defense. I went out to stop them and well... My thing is if you let them do it once they'll do it again. Idk if anyone notice, but this new gen millennial doesn't work besides FB or YT. Crime has gone back up even though the economy is doing better then it has in a decade or two.

It's better than nothing. False sense of security though these days. Thieves don't care if they are on camera. They just want to steal your shit.

I own a retail store and have cameras everywhere and some of the losers look up at the camera and stick something in their pocket and smile. Happened more than once. I hate thieves with an condition that makes my blood boil. I'm lucky I'm not in prison for beating a shoplifter.

BTW I have 2 2018 Silverados sitting in my driveway and I have two 100 watt lights on the front of my garage and 2 more on the side of the garage. It's lit up pretty good never had a problem since leaving the lights on 24-7. LED's so I never shut them off.

Yeah, the only real point of a camera is if it will notify you of movement, and you can run outside if you see someone stealing from your truck on the video feed.  Cops could care less about the video, even if there is a clear image of the thief and/or their vehicle.  It's just file a report and let your insurance handle it.

I often put park with the transfer case in neutral and if not driving for a few days will chock a wheel.  The chock alone should make them look elsewhere and if not, they'll not likely know the procedure to get her back into gear before contracting lead poisoning.

I hear you I feel the same way work hard never stole anything in my life. The ring though has a siren mode I mean yea take everything into count right place right time. You can push a button and it sets off a loud siren so it’s also another feature.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
