It's parked in my driveway (not my mothers), therefore her insurance company won't insure it. Plus, I'm trying to disassociate myself with her and all things attached to her (legally and finanially), so I don't want that. It must be parked in her driveway which just doesn't work anymore for me.
She already caused like 2K damage to the car, lol.
Anyways back on topic, I'm going to just buy a steering wheel lock.. and try that metal box thing with the keys. As for the insurance thing, I'll see if they'll cover theft/fire or whatever even for someone with my G1 (beginners) license, assumed they wouldn't since law states only G2 and above can get insurance.
I don't want to sell etc. as some have suggested as opposed to just letting it sit for 3 months. I don't even know where this idea came from.. something I must've implied or said?
I looked into it and insurance will roughly cost me $330 a month, on top of my $450 a month car payments. I know it's a lot, but I just love the car and want to do everything I can to keep it even if it's going to hurt me financially!  |
There is no need for a steering wheel lock. The only way the car can be stolen is with the key or if they tow it. If they have a way of getting around the chipped system they are high level pros (this is mostly on movies folks) and then the lock isn't even going to slow them down. If they tow it then again the lock means nothing since they will just drag it.
There are several thousand owners on here and there have been three reports of theft. Two were left running while the owner "just left it for a second" and one was from a shop where they had access to the key/fob.
These are not 1994 Caravans or 91 Civics where it can be stolen by just popping the ignition out . They are a complex chip system that contrary to popular belief is not easy to bypass.
Also still missing the point that the bank could come and take the car at any time since no insurance will be a blatant contravention of the loan agreement. Fine to gamble they won't find out but if they do you will either need to insure right then and there or had over the keys. You are playing with fire and somebody stealing it should be the least of your worries.
