seen at a a local classic car show (in the parking lot)



the ratty old "club" diligently attached to the steering wheel was just the icing on the cake. somehow i don't think the owner recognizes the ironic humor in this.....

Maybe I'm not quite understanding what you're getting at here.

i ALWAYS laugh when i see a "club" on any car. any thief can get past one of those things in under 10 seconds.

then to see one (an old ratty one no less) on a POS clunker that you couldn't even pay someone to drive in the first place. i dunno.... maybe i'm just an idiot. my wife and i thought it was so funny....

I don't think the owner was worried about professional car thieves taking his old rag top. Maybe he just didn't want some punk kids taking it for a joy ride & just wanted it to be there to drive home after walking around the car show.
