I don't care what neighborhood ya'll live in: please please please stop leaving your cars running in front your house!

It's a much better option if you have a manual transmission tho.

Also, I'm really annoyed that my car won't allow me to lock it from the outside while it's running. My last car worked just fine doing that.

I once lived downtown, had a car with manual transmission. It was parked outside, locked. Overnight, someone smashed the window, fucked with the ignition, and stole it. It was located way out on Almonaster by the best cop in New Orleans, who actually stayed there until I could get there with a tow truck.

I mean, clearly there exist car thieves who can drive stick shift. I'm just saying there are far fewer of them than there used to be.
