Default Car jacked, chased and recovered...-------A

So Im getting ready to leave my brothers apt in Seattle and I hear my car start up outside. Im like WTF? someones stealing my car. I run downstairs and into the parking lot where some douchebag is driving away. The good thing, is I have my ECT and IAT sensors hardwired on variable resistors, so unless I load the correct map it runs like a total pos when cold unless driven right. This guy kept flooring it, and the 900's were dumping a ---- ton of fuel, haha. My brother gets outside and we jump in his car and start chasing the guy. Im thinking, man when that thing warms up were done. He ends up stalling it at a light and my brother flys up behind him and Ebrakes his car sideways infront of him, blocking my car. We jump out and just when I think 'Its on', he gets out and pulls a gun. I about ---- my pants, and me and my brother take off in diff. directions. I look back and the guys he was with pulls up and picks him up.
We call'd the cops and made a report. All in all the guys stole some change, and messed up the window abit. He also left a keychain with about 10 honda keys on it, in the ignition.
Im really happy that we got it back, but man, it could have gotten real ugly with him pulling a gun and ----.

So yeah, had a great Thanksgiving.

Actually car keys are utter ----, and when the cylinder wears it will pretty much accept any key. And about all cars are like this
Except the ones that have an RFID chip in the key

Damn, that was close, but the main thing is you didn't get shot, and you have your car. I'd call it a success.

Wow, close call Dave.

Good thing you still got your car... and your life.

I always thought messing with your car destroying all-round drivability for the sake of hp was a good thing, you just proved it

I'm probably going to put a killswitch on my car, or some sort of code to start it. A guy I know had a kill switch hidden in his car, and when it was jacked they tried forever starting it, without success. So they cut the driver's seatbelt and used it to tow the car away.
