Re: Got my fenders! Now keep those lenses.

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm2.hf.intel.com>]

Hey, I just spend the whole weekend in Seattle for a friends graduation with my 
baby (and friend, Steph Steph) and had a total blast -- and I still have my 
lenses.  Of course, I do have an alarm system...  Instead of using the standard 
Philips-head screws see if you can find Hex-head ones.  They're the ones you 
have to use an Allen wrench to remove.  Most thieves don't carry Allen wrenches 
with them, especially metric ones.  I don't have these on my baby so I don't 
know where to get them but try HomeBase (ahhh, HomeBaaaasssssse...drool).  
You'll probably only be able to find ones for the back, though.

P.S.  Seattle Zoo to Beaverton (west Portland) in 2 hours, 58 minutes and that 
includes waiting 5-10 minutes at the border for the bridge to come down -- 
that'sa movin'!

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep people from RIPPING O=
FF
my tail lights and turn signal lights?  It has happened a couple of times=

and they are expensive!  I thought about epoxying them but then how would=
 I
get them off if I needed to?  What kind of a person would prey on an
innocent VW?  Next time I park it in Seattle I will leave my alarm system=
 (
our Airedale ) in the car!

     Well, wish us luck putting in our NEW PANS AND FENDERS (even if they=

are only fiberglass).
