It's True!!!!!

I literally leave the keys in the ignition overnight in my car. Because I know not one of my neighbors or any of the random people driving through the area will be able to steal my car. Not only is it a stick but it's a five-speed with a four-speed shift knob. By the time they managed to get it started and figure out where reverse is I'll be ready to leave for work

Ps. If my car goes missing I'm looking for you guys

So what if you have a 3 on the tree or any other column shift manual. That has to be really theft proof!

I mean, game controllers are good enough for the military...

Apparently not.

That's my 54. Same answer. Honestly if someone got it started and could drive it to the end of the driveway. I'd be tempted to let them drive it away. I mean, I'm more likely to win the lottery right?

Again. You folks are exempt from that policy. Sorry.

How about 5 on the tree? We had some old *ss Nissan diesel pickup at work eons ago with that. It was a turd but I loved driving it.

Carbbed car with a manual choke? Probably pretty theft proof even if it was auto. If your getting car jacked smash the choke closed, or leave it closed or open when parked overnight. It will either not start or start and die when trying to move

Any old semi truck with a twin stick or hi/low splitter on the axle would be flabbergasting

Or just drive something so embarrassing or worthlessness.

I have never heard of that. I'd love to see it. Then I'd be forced to insult it because it's an import. 🤣
