I had two friends back in the 80's the first of whom owned an 84 MR2. After the car was stolen twice in the first year, he had 4 120db horns installed in the car so that if anyone took it, their brains turned to mush. Unfortunately, it just increased the amount of vandalism done to the car.
The second friend owned a 66 chevy bel air that was a real bomb. It had rust and dings and dents, but that is not why it was a bomb. Arnie was a demolitions expert in Nam, and came back a little paranoid. We went to lunch one day and he cautioned me about putting my feet on the wooden box on the passengers side floor. Turns out, the reason he would turn his car off and on three times before he would drive away was to disarm the fuse on the block of C4 in the box.
