Now why would he want to come 'over the hill' to my side and take my supra when he has his??? He doesn't look like much of a morning person anyway, nevermind the traffic and poor roads in my area. Can't say it isn't a possibility. Why don't I 'borrow' your car for a week? I promise I won't beat on it too much...

Many Toyota keys, especially in older cars, will work in more than one car. Usually only in the driver's side door and ignition, though, the passenger door and hatch are rarely as worn.
One of my favorite tricks is to take apart the door and disable the exterior lock cylinder on the driver's side. That way I can still get in through the passenger side or trunk if I need to, but everyone with keys that are just 'close' won't be able to.
One more thing. We have electric fuel pumps, so IMO everyone should have a hidden switch installed somewhere that disables the fuel pump.

We don't really want to ... it's simple enough to do, the point is the switch should be where YOU know about it, nobody else.supraman7mgte said:

ha... yea.. i liked the car.. but I wouldent steal it.. the car is very unique... specialy the fading patern on the roof..
lol whats that mean "i dont look like a morning person?"
As far as the fuel pump cut off switch- I had an old '79 Cougar that would start without a key (I've had several ford igntions do this!) so I added an extra floor dimmer switch, not for lights but to cut off the msd ignition. I just had it mounted up a little higher than normal under the carpet. Don't remember exactly how I rigged the wires to act as just on/off cuz I was drunk hooking it up. But that means it can't be too hard! Someone sittin in the car with you won't even see you trip a switch like this, just hit it as you're getting in. Sorry bout your Supra thedave925!!!
I wrote a nice tale of supra recovery last night, it was long and then the computer took a shit and flushed the story. I've gotta pack for a trip, so I'm going to have to write it again later. I'll make a new post and put up pics.

yup, give us the scoop!
i had nightmares of having my supe stolen last night.
in the old days the penalty for thieves was having thier hands cut off.

where the switch is located is not a problem,we will all have individual locations that we can use.
thats terrible to hear. A better description/pics might help. Are those racing hart M5 wheels? Hope you get it back in one piece.
