You are right. My integra got stolen in front of my house on July 10th!! It was parked on the street in front of my house in milpitas. I was lucky enough to be looking out my widow the same time I saw the headlights turn on and drive away. I called the cops and they found it within 2 minutes. The cops showed me the key they used, it looked like a grinded down integra ket. For anyone living in milpitas, the story was in the Milpitas post this week.

"boosting cars" is this thread sponsored by the remake of "Gone in 60 Seconds" or something?

obviously you dont know that "car boosting" is an actual phrase even before "Gone in 60 Seconds" so get yer facts straight homie before you try to clown. on top of that it was your choice to click on the thread.

for people who are concerned about someone "boosting" their car, there is a very simple solution: install the viper 791x. It has remote start and kill switch and has one of the best damn proximity sensors available! I'll walk by my car and peep in for just a sec and the car will alert me with the remote alert. It runs 200 shipped on ebay and get the proximity for a few extra bucks. You don't need anything else. Included in the package is a super bright LED that says "F U" to those people attempting to do anything. that's my recommendation!

Obviously that movie didn't create the phrase. But why couldn't you just say "stealing cars?" Guess I'm not as cool as you since I don't say "boosting"

I clicked on this thread because I thought it was about "boosting cars." i.e., forced induction.... homie
