car alarm thoughts?
Thinking about getting an alarm. Can't really decide, what are your thoughts on alarms. Pros/cons. It has been 15 years since my last car alarm and wonder what has changed as far as the technology is concerned?

just don't turn the sensativity up so that it'll go off any time a passerby farts. This dude in my old appartment complex would park his minivan... A MINIVAN... with the grille facing my bedroom. Any time a car drove by it would chirp. I can live with that if I have to... not much traffic in the parking lot at night. But on the nights there were storms, the **** thing never stopped. The guy would sit there in his place turning it off after a good 15-30 seconds, and then re-arm it. 2 seconds later, more thunder, and the F-ing alarm is goin' again.
What I should have done is thrown a cinder block through the windshield.... he wouldn't have been the wiser. But.. I managed to control myself. But, **** it was hard with the wife encouraging me.

He has a video on this forum setting off car alarms- it's pretty cool. He lives in CA, you shouldn't have any problems down in FL... although i suspect that he's not done with the exhaust mods yet, so maybe you might...
