More often than not its just a false sense of security, and they look crappy. Don't park your $60k+ car in the hood and you won't have an issue

These types of replies are frustrating - I questioned whether to piggy back off this sh!tshow of a thread because of the prior sentiment here. My question was regarding what the difference was between two BMW wheel lock options.
What surprises me is that you're from NY/NJ and feel like a $60k (or an $80k) car is expensive to park in "the hood". When I lived in a penthouse apartment in the tallest residential tower in NJ, guess where I parked? Yep, the parking deck below. My friends with even more expensive cars? On the street "in the hood" below.
Don't chastise folks for $50 wheel locks on a car forum where we gladly pay $45 for colorful stickers. |
Well said. Agree.
