Park your car inside or safely tonight!

Post by Whelan »

Had to remind my fiance last night to be sure to put her Jeep in the garage. My Trix will be getting indoor treatment tonight and my dad will put my grandfather's older 99 Buick in the driveway.I have nothing against mischief night, Heck I used to go out. But when it comes to messing up peoples cars, that is just plain annoying. TP is one thing, eggs, soap, shaving cream, etc. is not fun. So a word to the wise so I don't have to post in the Wax forum on how to remove said items, put your car inside, cover it, or park it in a well lit area or the side of your house. Put it in the backyard if you can even, LOL.Oh, BTW, if anyone has any issues with said items tomorrow, throw a post in the wax section and I'll be happy to address it for ya!

Or hide in the bushes next to your car and if anyone messes with it, jump out and bust their head open with a tire iron.I mean...yeah, good advice.

Sadly, I'm also one who HAS no protected space to park in. My only option is to not park in the little nook of the driveway I normally park in, but rather back my car up as absolutely close to the house as I can.I've considered the back yard before, but anyone who doesn't have sewers can understand, 4000 pound car + septic field = quicksand like situation...and absolute DISASTER!Thankfully, I can't fall asleep before about 2 am, and I wake up tomorrow at 4 am for work, and I sleep with my window open (which happens to be RIGHT above where the car will be), so there should only be a 2-or-so hour period where I won't be able to hear anyone who dares tread anywhere NEAR my car!I assure you though...I've been busy at work all day plotting how I could react to someone who approaches the car. Possible ideas - use power washer and aim directly for their body (aka do exactly what the instructions say NOT to hehe), good 'ol louisville slugger, or my most likely choice, remote start, hit panic button, freak them out, and send them running. Not nearly as satisfying as the powerwasher idea, but the far more legal and "ethical" route.
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

Years ago,I used to sit in my car for the first few hours with a 40,000 candle watt powered spot light and well at the time I owned a shot gun... so that was sitting there as well. After the first year, catching a group of kids with a shot gun and spot light, word spread and my car never was a target again.HHAHAHAThese days I just pull my cars in to the garage... and sleep like a baby.

Trix will be safely in an underground, security patrolled, gated access garage -- as it always is.
