Dang. That security system doesnt stop them from starting it? I know these systems are ancient(compared to what we have today). But i thought they were pretty good at stopping a vehicle from running

99-03's prevent that from happening. PATS is a nice thing, and a pain at the same time.

I prefer driving my F-150 (same configuration as yours) in the city, mainly because our roads are so chopped up and pocked with potholes that I need something with tall sidewalls and ground-clearance to avoid suspension-damage. Our trucks are relatively-narrow, so I've never found any problem with getting through traffic, visibility is great, and being larger than most of the other cars gives you the right-of-way in more instances.

Just thought i'd give an update. Driving here's been fine, there is the occasional tight situation but nothing too horrible.

I did have someone try to cut my lock on my bike though. I have the frame of the bike held in with a u lock and used a cable that came with the lock to secure my front wheel. Well, i came out and my cable was 3/4 of the way cut. Im guessing the guy didn't notice the u lock until he was that far through cutting and gave up. I guess it's double u lock time....

go to the local shelter, look for the uhgliest meanest looking rotwhiler and or pit take photos of it next to you, then go home, find sound clips online of a dog going ape**** nuts. put photos in back window of truck with note that said dog sleeps in the bed at night, hook your alarm up so that vice blowing the horn and saying some stupid phrase, it plays the dog recording put loudspeaker in bed, hilarity ensues problem solved

This has been bothering me.... Did you change your user name? The avatar and sub text remind me of (correct me if I'm wrong) Sxynerd.
