just cant believe the people here.

In my complex parking is tight,close up and not many spots open. so when i do get a chance to put my t.a as close to my apt i take the chance so its not sitting far away or on the street. I dont get it to take it out alot, only 2 times a week usually. But when i do get it leave it right outside my place i always walk out to people sitting up on my hood, leaning up on the spoiler, or walk out to shit written in the dust/dirt on the car at times. my complex will only assign us one spot and between my room mate and i we got 4 cars. So putting the t/a there is a rarity. Cant just believe no one has respect for my car around here. Im just glad i didnt have my new hood on yet or i would have beat some a$$. I really want a car alarm or something to get people from always being on my car. Is there anything that sensitive?. I need to do something that doesnt have to result in moving or having to start revenging on someones car. i just wish these people had some respect for crying out loud.

Welcome to the world we live in!

Some ppl have no respect for anything nice because they have never worked for anything in their lives. Just seems like you can't have anything nice nowadays because ppl either fuck w/ it or just don't have the common courtesy not to slam their doors into it etc.

If i ever find myself in the situation where i don't have a garage to park my car in... i will drive a p.o.s and let my car go to someone who can keep it nice!

i know it sucks.. everywhere else i leave my car, or leaved, everyone would also be cool around my car and respect it but my neighbors, and i am not gonna get racist but its theses punk mexican guys.. They are always the ones im seeing on my car and parking so close i cant even get it..i actually had to take the tops off and leap in from the top..just lucky i had the window down enough i could do so.. i would have to get rid of my car but if it came to that, i would leave it at my parents..

That is the main reason I bought a house with a garage. I used to park up against the curb and have this inconsiderate bitch park in the grass and slam her door into my car. I complained over and over to the apartment management but they refused to do anything. Even the cops acted like I was nuts. Eventually I sold my "nice" cars and bought a beater and saved up for a house.

Most people see cars as simply a means of transportation. A car is the second biggest investment in a persons life, second to a house. If they live in an apartment it is the biggest, so I cant figure out why they destroy them like they do. AND in doing so they try to take mine down with them. Just makes no sense.

You can get a locking car cover. That might help to an extent.

Whatever you do, take into consideration that some people will mess with your car more if you have a sensitive alarm. You could get like a fire engine horn that will make them go deaf if they mess with it. That may stop them. Otherwise, park it at your parents house since, like you said, between you and your room mate you have 4 cars.

my car does have the stock alarm but i can never get it to go off..only has work like twice and i dont even know what i did to get it to go off..how do i change its sensitivity? im really leaning towards leaving it at my parents, but i just know if its out there ill never drive it. but right now i just gotta let it sit till these fires are down and out here, i dont wanna get all the smoke and ash in my intake and shit. it really screwed up my car other car in the last fires here..but if anyone knows how to change the sensitivity or know of a good car alarm i could buy to put on there..

Pasenger side rear where the spare is located. There is a sensor on the wheel well. There should be a sticker on it. Behind the sticker is the adjustment for the sensitivity.

Doesnt matter how far away you park. I had some jackass in a new Jag park so close I couldnt get in my car once when I was the only car all the way in the back of a parking lot. I parked against a curb, like I always try to do, and he parked about 3 feet into my space and I had to climb in through my passenger door. I also noticed he hit my car when pulling in, so I left "prick" scratched in his driver door.

If you have a nice car people will fuck with it no matter what. You can never keep it nice unless you dont drive it.

Every day when i get to school i park so far away its not even funny. I take up 2 spots too cus purposely park right on the line. After seeing how 99% of the kids in my highschool drive im staying away. I worked my ass off for this car and no one comes near it. My alarm is so sensitive that it beeps twice when harleys drive by it. If you bump into the car it beeps. Everyone makes fun of me for parking the way i do but idont care, its my car and their jealous im 17 with a badass car. I hate inconsiderate people.

back in college I used to walk all the way up a big hill just to get in the college... from my secluded parking spot all the way down the hill and away from everyone...and in the shade as well... most people left it alone... though... gotta love black cars with tints... people tend to think they are "mobster" cars...and don't touch them

i hate stupid who mess with other peoples cars you cant adjust a factory alarm as far as i know it will only go of if the voltage in the car changes (like opening the door) thats why they dont go off when you hit them ive delt with car alarms and audio for years

Then apparently you don't realize that we have bump sensors on our cars. That little box that I mentioned above is it. There is a white adjustment screw on it that makes it more or less sensitive.

As for how far you adjust it. That's all up to you on if you want it to go off all the time or not. Just keep adjusting until you find the right setting.

Mine is still at factory settings and if a loud enough truck drives by it will chirp. Same if loud thunder rolls by. Also if I set it at the car wash, and I'm using the brush, it will go off.

I can't remember for sure, but I think you have an option of turning this sensor off also with the alarm adjustments, but I'd have to look at those options in the manual again. Yours could be off if it doesn't go off when bumping the car. Test it by closing it up, arming it, then hitting the outside wheel well, above the tire, where the sensor is located.

When I was in the Navy and driving.. something else.. (I wont say the H word!) someone took the liberty to bust out my mirrors with a hammer or something. Wasn't around to see who it was, but I was ticked. I was buying my WS6 THAT day though, so I didn't stay angry long! :D

Tp those who still didn't get it, pull the cover in the rear over the spare and towards teh front of the vehicle fromt he spare you will see alittle black box stuck to the fender. A piece of white tape will cover a small knob that turns the sensitivity up or down. All the way up and it will go off it you look at it too hard. hell at 3/4 light rain will set it off

Reading through a couple of these posts i know how you feel, when im at home i have to park outside in our driveway and in the evil sun! However i have a car cover and i even get upset when one of my own parents got too close with their cars lol! However i have it with me at college now and always park it in the parking deck and ive luckily found a few key spots that no driver can get close without driving over the line and parking totally crooked... and if they do i give em a nice big fine since i work for security here haha!

So my advice is if you have a place that will be in the shade most of the day if not all day park there, or if u have to park in a cramped parking deck with hundred of other REALLY bad drivers that have an accident almost everyday scout out spots that are difficult for other drivers to pull into or that give you lots of space. IE my corner spot theres extra room to the wall so i can park with about 2 feet or more between my car the line i should be right next to.

Try having a friend park on either side of you. As for you that must park in the street good luck my friends! i never plan on living in a city or parking on a crowded street. Good luck my friends!!
