BrenR ... The world needs used car buyers, too... and for humor, bragging about your car never being broken into os like say "I got me an UGLY girlfriend, noone EVER tries to hit on her. I got it MADE !" ...

So you're saying I should have been flattered when my (former) 1987 Honda Civic was broken into about 5 years ago?

YES ... NOW you are getting it....

I sure could have used that outlook when I discovered my rear seat sitting on the floor of my car. At least they only broke the small pane of glass on the rear passenger door.

The trick is to make sure the car is TOTALLED ... This way the insurance company pays about 3 times its wholesale value...

I have an 03 Hemi Dodge to haul my toys around. Of cource it’s been “tweaked” a little to make that chore easier. In another life I built race engines. The new Z06 motor is what sold me on it. Hand assembled, dry sump, torque plate honed, zero deck, all aluminum 427 CID big block. I’ve just got to have it. And it’s still less than a viper, with a plusher interior. It’ll be a rocket. I just have to hear a V8. Imports may be fun, but they ain’t no muscle car. Not to mention the C6 will corner like a F16.

"but I've never had a car broken into yet!"

Geezzz, my old '80-something Dodge Aspen Wagon, with the entire exhaust sytem lying in the back, and the peeling fake wood on the side, got broken into twice in Queens and once in Manhattan. And I promise you it was as ugly and beat up as anything anyone wants to throw at it.
But then again, nobody ever stole it.
Shame.

Well, then YOU keep making insurance claims and dropping your pants and saying "oww... you sure there's not a sliver of glass right here?"

Good water cooler icebreaker.

That hurt to even READ ...

That safety glass gets everywhere.

But nah, I'm pass the "cool ride" stage, and into the "I don't want to always worry about someone else messing with my stuff" stage.
