Default The usual stuff

Drive year round (do have 2 other cars tho), i rely on three cut out switches. One for the ign to disable the starter, there is one for the neutral safety switch (use this for just going info stores). The last one I cant tell.
Insurance and garage, out of the city, dead end street. All help to.

Locked garage, insurance, and (probably most important) upscale, off the beaten path neighborhood.

any holes that i put in the car would stay as a conversation item or to potentially help to raise future value. aren't the elvis cadillacs with bullet holes more valuable?

Dog (German Shepard), Imobiliser, WIFE!!!!
Locked & alarmed garage and a GREAT neighbour
(who loves my car as much as I do plus he's got an American Pitbull and a .44 Ruger).
If I'm going away without it, then I remove the wheels.
I'm thinking of getting TRUNK MONKEY too (But where to keep him?????)

Mine pretty well protects itself. There is a method to making it start. Deviate from the method and no start. Plus it stays in a locked garage & my Harley blocks it in with the fork locked & alarm on.

According to the OT crowd, you should find a cover that makes it look like a C4.

There is just one car like this in our country One or two other black ones but they are 81 or 82, somewhat modernized with sidepipes, new wheels and stuff.

Seriously speaking though, we have one driveway and the garage is at the end of it where I keep my Vette. There is our smaller car mostly always parked in front of it or when we're all home, there are the small car + my heavy Jeep on the driveway so they'd have to steal those two first. Ofcourse I keep the garage well locked. I don't think it would be very wise to steal a car like this around here.
