Agreed!
i dont have a car alarm
i have a 20 year old car that still works perfectly and nobody would steal.
I dont even lock it.
My friend has a brand new car and taking it in for major maintenance regularly and worrying about gravel scratches, electronics and theft.
The only work i do is scrape off the little bit of rust around the fender with sandpaper and then putty and spray paint.
I bought the car for 1000 bucks 4 years ago.
Gotta keep stacking sats.
