Anyone use the "club"??

[Lux Hauler]

Hidden "kill switch" and a little know how... no need for all this other crap available.

Install a relayed kill switch in series with the starter contacter, not the main lead from the battery. Among other things, you don't want to cut power to the ECU.

i had one when i lived in brooklyn. i think it definitely deters thieves from stealing your car. it clearly didnt deter them from stealing my headlights.

I actually learned how to drive a stick shift on a Ford Ranger at a construction site, I'll be over later tonight to steal you car There was some thieves that tried to car jack a corvette, but ended up running off because they didn't know how to drive a stick shift. they took the guys keys and cell phone though.

I heard thieves defeat the club by using canned air upside down, freeze the lock and hit it with a hammer, it shatters the lock. Also they can hacksaw thru the steering wheel in 15 seconds and slip the club off. The club is of minimal deterrence.

That's a good idea.
We put in an ignition bypass wire to a hidden switch, they would need to tow it to steal it.
In these parts car thieves often get shot if they get caught and if not shot they get the holy crap beat out of them. Not much car thievery goes on around here.
You use the steering wheel club to beat the crap out the the lowlife car thief !
