How To Crack An Electronic Safe With A Magnet And A Sock
newtboyI take the opposite approach. I drive a 46 year old, rusting, dented, beaten up Bronco. It's doors don't even lock. I've never had trouble with people trying to steal from me, it's fairly obvious I have nothing they want!
I owned a car stereo install shop for about 15 years. People would come to me and ask how to make sure their car didn't get stolen. Every time, I'd tell them, "sell it and take the bus".
The object of car "security" is to make the thief go on to lower hanging fruit. If someone wants your "you've-paid-huge-money-to-make-virtually-impregnable" '86 Civic, they'll wait for you to approach it, put a knife to your throat (this being in Canada) and take your keys. To quote W.O.P.R. "The only winning move is not to play."
The Fastest Way To Defog Your Car Windows (And Why It Works)
newtboyMost newer cars, yes. Most built before computers were the norm in cars, not so much.
Then there are cars like mine...a 46 year old Bronco with no AC button to press, so my best defroster is open windows and a dry rag/shamwow. ;-)
Most cars automatically activate the A/C when you select defrost so pressing the A/C button doesn't usually do anything.
How Aussie Truckers Get Through Gates In The Outback
newtboyI can (and do) do that in my bronco or jeep. In first gear low range, they idle along at an unstoppable 1/2-1 mph. I can walk slowly around them in circles without even walking fast. If you count low range, my cars each have 8 gears + 2 reverse (4 speed transmission + high and low range in the transfer case).
I would imagine these trucks have far more than that, and they usually have a high and low range splitter too, so if they have a 7 speed transmission, they've got 14 forward gears. I know that's not an answer, but it's something.
How many gears does a truck like that have? Sounds like quite a few.
German Man with Street Legal Porsche 910 at Spa
newtboyOh yeah....what about my Bronco?!? It's from that time period, and it will turn any modern vehicle into a pile of plastic scrap in a collision.
Nothing from that time period would be anything but a deathtrap in a collision with a modern vehicle.

newtboyThank you sir.
I also found it scary, even though I drive a 45 year old Bronco with ZERO computer chips in it (besides the CD player). I still share the road with millions of vulnerable cars, and now I have to fear a hack attack not just on the computer, but also on the road!
WTF guys! Who came up with this TERRIBLE idea of connecting the entire 'fly by wire driven' car to the internet? Just WOW. Talk about lack of foresight!
Scary.

Porsche Cayman S driver fail
newtboyOh...I hadn't thought of that. Maybe so.
I drive a 45 year old Bronco, no flappy paddles there, so it didn't cross my mind.
One more reason to stick with old school tech! ;-)
Aren't most sports cars these days flappy paddles (i.e. no clutch)?
Surprise Valentine’s Day gift from Land Rover
newtboyDear Ford....I feel you need to mimic this kind gesture...and I have a 1970 bronco in nearly as bad shape as the Land Rover that's my daily driver until I fall through the completely rotten floor board. Hint hint hint hint hint.
How an Aussie postman deals with dogs
newtboyWell, I don't disagree, but it's not as easy as that. She's a rescue, and was not trained at all when we got her. I've gotten her to sit, down, stay, close the door, etc. but stopping her from being friendly isn't something I want, and having her be friendly while not accepting food, that's higher level training than I'm qualified for. ;-)
Fortunately it's not a constant issue, and is one that I solve by paying attention when we're out together, and parking my 45 year old bronco in the bushes on one side so people have no access to the window. At home, it's really not an issue now that I have informed the UPS guy (Fed Ex doesn't open my gate) and I have a good fence back from the street, and we live in the boondocks on a dead end dirt road, so there's hardly traffic. My neighbors know, so it's taken care of well enough with no break outs in well over a year now.
Your concern is appreciated however.
P.S. And I don't have to worry she'll starve to death because I forgot to tell her dogsitter the code word. ;-)
@newtboy
If you have any issues with people feeding your dog, consider the core (and controllable) problem, your dog is eating without your instruction.
We had a dog when I was a kid, & there were dog fighting rings in the area that the cops couldn't prove (or shutdown) and the asshole dog-fight trainers would steal "new competitors" by dropping tranquilized meat in their yard.
Well, my dog starved himself for 3 days while at a dog kennel when we were on holidays because my dad forgot to tell the couple looking after our dog that "he won't eat unless you say munchies". The couple spent $100's on dog foods ranging from basic to premium, steaks sold for humans, even tried force feeding him, until they eventually called us in tears and heartbreak about how the dog would not eat.
Quote dad: Oh shit, say munchies
Quote lady: (dogs name), munchies
Result: he hooked in like a starving dog would, who had been well trained to deal with people who would affect our dog for their own agenda.
"Your" dog's behaviour is YOUR responsibility, not a strangers.
One can be controlled, the other cannot. Pick your battles and fight what you can win.
The dog we had prior to the one in the above story, got stolen twice, we got him back once. Losing 1 dog due to our naivety was enough.
PS: i agree people "should" leave your pets/kids etc alone. However, this is reality and special conditions need to be accounted for.

newtboyWell, yes. Now that I understand (everything but the Florida locations), it does sound like we agree across the board.
Oh! I get it now...you meant West coast OF FLORIDA. (To be honest, I was confusing Ft Lauderdale with Tampa...Tampa is the city my relatives live 'near'....and it IS more 'conservative', is it not? You can probably guess I don't spend much time over/down there).
Yes, I DO know what it's like to walk far in August/Florida. I grew up in Houston, just as humid, even hotter! I used to love to ride my bike in the 105 deg summers and get crazed looks from everyone peering out of their air conditioned cars and shops. I can't take that heat anymore now that I'm old and broken, and spoiled by N California.
And I've also had to park far from events...I now drive a rotten 44 year old Bronco. It's mechanically near perfect, but the body is a rusted hulk...and I don't care a bit! It actually helps me in traffic, no one tailgates me, and they move when I come from behind. ;-)
Oooohhhh. Pill heads can suck ass. Sorry to hear it.
Newt
ha ha..thanks man.
i lived closer to the coast.
off oakland and andrews.worked at yesterdays on the intracoastal and marks in los olas,i also dj'd (and bounced) at the crazy horse off A1A.met motley crue there a couple of times.
the concentrated wealth was a tad further north from where i lived, boca and west palm.
you may have been a bit west in places like davie...fairly rural and yes..conservative..but money talks and davie does not have that kind of clout.
i saw the same practices when i lived on miami beach.though the criminalizing is a new thing,before they just shuttled the homeless and undesirables away.
icky homeless people are bad for tourism
i think we pretty much agree across the board.when a hard line conservative talks about "pulling yourself up by your boot straps" we know that is bullshit speak for 'fuck you poor person,i got mine" but i have a problem with a supposed "liberal" who talks the language of compassion and humanity but dont actually practice it in a hands on way.
the hardliner shows disdain for the poor,and while repugnant,at least it is honest.
but when a liberal,who wrings their hands over the plight of the homeless,yet pushes through ordinances that criminalize the very thing they are saying that is heart-wrenching for them..i find hypocritical.
i remember i was an event co-ordinator for the hilton fountain blue and did a bee-gees (yes..you read that right) birthday party on their west palm home.i dorve a beat up toyota tercel( i have always lived simply,like a hippy) and i was asked to park it 4 blocks away at a u-store it facility.
no valet for me!
do you know what its like to walk 4 blocks in august?in florida? in 300% humidity?
i was a wet rag by the time i got to their mansion.
i literally had to sneak a shower while my clothes were drying!
but..i did get 10% of everything,and that party cost a cool 250.000.
soooooooooo
WORTH IT!
i live just north of tampa now.new port richey.the number ONE place for painkiller/xanax deaths in the country!
we are so proud.
Late night Suspicious roadblock
newtboySome of us would have both run him over AND called the police to have him forced to pay for the damage his body would not have done to my 44 year old Bronco! He just left him there to rob the next guy.
Tailgating is bad, okay!
newtboyThat's 2 more reasons for me to drive a 43 year old Bronco, 1. I don't look like I have any money to scam out of me and 2. they will certainly take more damage than I will. I also never get tailgated, thanks to a 10" trailer hookup sticking out the back at normal car's head level!
There was, and maybe still is, an insurance scam in the US where two cars would surround one (front and back). Guy in back would tailgate and do whatever to distract the mark in the middle, then guy in the front would slam on his brakes.
I'd look at this video and say it was a failed attempt....because the guy in the front claiming the dude with the camera is at fault is sketchy.
They ask, did you feel one bump or two....IE two = guy in middle hits you, then gets hit from behind....clearly a one bump situation there heh.
Audi Traffic Light Assistance
newtboyGuaranteed, if I see someone in their $100K car going 5mph down main street in order to 'hit all the lights' I'll swerve around them and tell them off while I do it (and maybe slow down enough to make them miss the light anyway, if I'm not in a hurry). If they then want to hit my 43 year old bronco in anger, we'll see who fairs better.
The road isn't just for YOU, I wish people would learn how to drive WITH others. There are rules of the road to make roads work. Ignoring those rules for your own benefit makes YOU a problem. This tech did NOT seem to take other drivers into account. Blocking traffic because YOU aren't planning on turning at the light is not the way to make traffic flow better, or the way to keep your $100K car from being keyed or rear ended.
