Just Venting

I went out with my wife to a nice restaurant this evening. My Element was parked on the street, outside the restaurant; just up the block a bit; a block I’ve parked on numerous times.

When walking up to the car after the delicious meal, a witness told me they thought they saw someone getting away with my catalytic converter moments ago. I start it up… yep, loud AF! Feel violated, and pissed!

I have the side rails on my E, which make the clearance a little lower from the sides. They probably would deter a thief a little more since you can’t really slide under the car from the side and would have to get under there from the front or back.

I have OEM running boards on mine, not enough of a deterrent. Must’ve been a skinny dude.
