seriously... get something no one would want to steal. not a POS, but
just something that isnt easily riced out. like a late80s/early 90s
civic wagovan 4 door hatch, or accord wagon. toyota echo? paseo?

something you can just have basic liability on, so you can save your
money until you can move into a better neighborhood.

why keep beating yourself in the face with a 2x4?

imleaning toward a scion xa, with a 1.5 ltr engine, factory alarm,
factory stereo. who knows... that might be a good target, but since its
based on the echo, i sure hope not. the xb is popular, the xa isnt.

physical deterrent? keep it stock, with an alarm and a hidden kill
switch for the fuel pump.
