resopalrabotnick Posted December 19, 2005 CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 when nato opened up an hq in stettin, poland, i forget what year it was, the evil reputation concerning car theft by poles came to be true. the nato paople from western countries were losing a car a week or more. it got so bad that the base commander, a pole btw, went to the local police honcho to have them patrol all the places the soldiers lived off base to keep the theft down. even funnier was that it is a fairly long drive for most of them to get there in the first place, and speeding in europe can quickly get your license suspended. so people either had their cars nicked or their licenses revoked. they ended up carpooling the people that got their cars nicked with the ones that lost their license, lol.

coknuck Posted December 19, 2005 CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 I lived in SW Berbs (Glen Ellen) for 2 1/2 years and I don't miss those temps at all. The Windy City and that aint no joke. Put a remote start on it you'll love it. I wouldn't have an other car with out one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted December 19, 2005 CID Share Posted December 19, 2005 old enough to know and having driven in cold weather enough that the only difference between letting it idle to warm it up and driving carefully (meaning of course not redlining it, going easy on the throttle etc. etc. etc.) until you see the temp coming off the bottom peg is that letting it idle: is worse in regards to wear since the engine warms up slower than when being driven is econlogically unsound since you're just wasting gas and idling a cold engine makes the engine comp use a richer mix making the exhaust pollute worse. lets people nick your ride (ok, sorry, couldn't resist the barb though) the only idling i ever let my car do after starting it in cold weather is the 1 or 2 minutes to get rid of the ice on the windshield and mirrors, at least enough to let me see for the first few minutes until the car heats up and melts the rest. by cold i mean about -20 C or colder.

Dark06 Posted December 24, 2005 CID Share Posted December 24, 2005 Well i for one stole the whole engine out a one of those betle cars one time. on the older ones (at lest that i know of ) the engine is only suspended by 5 screws. You nusrew them and let the engine fall you move the body (there really light) and move it away between 8 guys we pick the engine up and put it in a truck . man i would have love to been there been that guy walked out from that club and saw his beatle upside down with no engine. I can imagine his face lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull481 Posted January 2, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 2, 2006 i found this site http://streetkeys.com/ which has factory keys (master or valet) and also has for your factory car alarm. i know if you go to your dealership, they charge over $140 just for one master key . this site is just under $30 for key and $65 remote (car alarm) i have to 2 cars, and 1 master key for each car. (you know the reason), which sucks i post the website just in case you guys need a second key, which you cant go to walmart, kmart, etc to make a copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
