On a more topical note... Got a quote for a "the works" Clifford package at $1600, a "the works package" for a Compustar at $750, and a "the works" Viper package for $799. I'm probably going with the Viper, the shop is within walking distance of my house. I know what I'm getting in the Viper package, and know most of what I am getting in the Compustar package, but still don't know what all is included in the Clifford package.

Somebody broke into the parking garage at work today and punched the lock out on the driver's door, ripped the column cover off and tried to force the ignition lock. They only managed to mangle it beyond all recognition and rendered it completely inoperable. Then they stole everything they could find inside and tore up a few more things. Spent 4 hours standing around waiting for the police and a tow truck, but finally got it home. Don't know yet what the extent of the damage is going to be.

Same thing happened to my tahoe. The cockroach destroyed the entire ignition system around the column but didn't manage to start the truck (dead battery).

Anyway the Sheriff reported it as a vandalism with a $500 loss. Complete b***s***. I called the cops not because I wanted them to look for the dude (cuz I knew they wouldn't)...but I wanted for my neighborhood to be on alert for more police presence.

Once the weather cools here in SoCal I'm installing a kill switch for the fuel pump or starter with a blinking LED on the dash. Oh yeah and wheel locks.

I have full respect for the law enforcement but they're not going to deter cockroaches.

Sometimes you have to like the way Sharia Law handles thieves. You get caught stealing...you lose the hand that you used to steal. You get caught ****** a woman or man...you get your Johnson cut off. Sounds barbaric, but it would be quite the deterrent. Also, the perp actually cuts his own package off. Your package is put in a stocks-like device...like in the 1600's (HEAD & HANDS TYPE). The blood flow is cut off and as your junk deteriorates, due to lack of blood, they give you a knife and you have to do it. The longer you wait the more pain you suffer. ISN'T HISTORY FUN!!!!

Well, the dealer says it needs all of the things I had already identified plus they say it needs a new column wiring harness. They won't even start sorting through all the electrical issues until they do that. So, waiting on insurance to send someone out to review and approve what the dealer found. Hopefully, insurance will send their guy quickly.

That's funny because under the "hood" clifford and viper are the same, they just make the key fob's look different
both are made by directed, the viper sounds like the better deal, the shop offering the clifford is jacking the price up on something

I don't know if the $799 includes a kill switch or not. The one offering the $1600 job sent me a video of his kill switch in action. Unfortunately, $1600 isn't in the budget after paying 2x deductibles.
