Meh, I take the bus to work too. It's ok. I know we're losers... you know... getting to work on a decent budget and all...

Driving to/from while listening to music and relaxing is part of the only fun you'll have during your workday. Take that away and they may as well take your living soul too. 😉

LOL, what, do you drive a 1991 civic? How the shit does any modern car get stolen anymore?

..Unless you left the key literally sitting right in the car. Which, you do seem dumb enough to do.

Edit: I was close, '96 Accord. So... that person did you a favor.

I do computer work for a repo place, they have a key maker that runs off a specialized PC. With the exception of a few models of cars, they can make chipped keys for anything in about 2 minutes. For the few they can't, they can easily tow your shit. There's no car that's hard to steal if a thief wants it. While the common thief couldn't steal a new car, there are plenty of thieves who have access to make keys for your car.

I'll pray for you to become an atheist. If there is a God, you will become an atheist. If there isn't one, you will stay a theist.

I can see it now, the wind in their hair, the laughing of how they got your car, the sound of a really hot engine that is being pushed to it's mechanical limits, the squeal of the tread off your tires, jamming to their favorite radio station after resetting all of yours...possibly over exursioning your speakers well into distortion, the sweet scratching sound as the thief's passenger glides his knife across your dash, possibly on their way to pick up a couple of prostitutes to get all wet in the back seat later.

Sounds like good times.....for them.

Being all knowing you would think he'd have a filter there 😛

I guess gods brain works at way above light speed though.

It would have to more or less, or that would explain a few things today...

Having to manage the whole universe might be bogging him down a bit.
 
Maybe he created Earth and forgot about it awhile.

Was kinda like one of those I'll get back to you in a second, and millions of years passed in a minute in his state of being.

Yeah never know I guess.
 
My car has thermite in the seats. Goes off via cell phone trigger. Figured why pay for Lojack when I can destroy it and collect the insurance. 😀

But I just have a cell phone tracker on it. You can buy them on ebay.

You should always engrave the VIN into all of the windows. Chop shops won't want that in their garage.
 
Got no family up here can help me out. Nobody can loan a car or give a ride. Taking bus across county line to work cost me $11.50. Had no full coverage on car so just out the cash. Hoping to find a cheap beater car sometime today. I'm 32 years old been living like this my whole life. My mom sits on her ass and collects social security and recently bought a $30,000 car. I work my ass off to live in a ghetto apartment and drive shit cars that get stolen.
