As most of you know I bought an suv... i realize now that the first night I got her, someone tried to break into her while I was chilling outside at twisted/ICP's concert back behind the building all of security knows my baby they all had a chance to check her out so they knew that the only people who should be near her is me or chris.,(which me and security stopped him) soo, I still have my suv but daaamn! lol....The other thing I did on the FIRST day of owning my vehicle, on the Loop 202 a major freeway I found myself turning on the corners and almost flipping my new baby... I literally felt the tires off the ground and the friend following me said the same thing as well.

I was wondering, would you guys have any suggestions? I can't get a roll bar because my suv is enclosed and lojak... well I don't know too much about that... Do you guys know anything about all that fun stuff??

One more thing, for the inside, what kind of product can I use to keep it looking new? Buying a car is stresssful man! Thanks again guys :) many hugs cya soon .... :-D :shock: :-D

A tracking device. Get it registered. If your car gets stolen, the cops can pin point exactly where to get the bastards.

http://www.lojack.com/ Arizona is covered by the Lo Jack network.

Starting MSRP for LoJack is $695--probably the best $695 you can spend on a vehicle. The LoJack Early Warning system has an MSRP of $895 and includes LoJack -- taken from article.

SUVS are known for tipping over. Your best bet is to be careful on corners. Oh yeah, always buckle your safety belt. Try not to head bang when you drive, and or drink. Smokin' bowls is ok though. Another real healthy habit is road rage. It is real good for getting out a days frustration by yelling at people, and throwing food, and or pop at them. BAing is fun as well.

When in doubt, stick the middle finger out. ](*,)

It's an adrenaline rush at first, but I just lost a friend last week passing in a non-passing lane around a corner. DO NOT EVER DO THAT - They didn't know who he was except his wallet. Nicest guy I never knew too. Drive safe.

SLOW DOWN!

SUV's are NOT sports cars and have a very high center of gravity....you wanna take corners fast, get a sportscar. Ask my son who decided to roll his cherokee at 70 mph....

Somehow I imagine Minion shaking his fist and saying, "damn kids" after that.

But he's right, you should listen to him.

Yes minion I agree and I now take corners very very slowww... However, I went back to the dealership and it turns out one of my shocks went KA-POW! So I had all my shocks replaced and now it seems to be doing ok. I can take her uphill downhill around and around soo hopefully that did it. We will see, and monkey I promise to be careful with my new baby... can not forget she can kill me if I do the wrong thing... Anyhow, ok well as of now lojack will be installed first chance they get and only for 695 with the full 895 dollars worth of system.. my insurance is covering the rest.. Anyhow ok well I am gonna go to my next appointment.. Btw, last time I am parking her out of the light man! thanks again guys and min no worries I'm sry to hear about your son flipping his over and that def makes me think about taking those corners at 75... I take turns now as slow as i can and as wide as i can :) so anyhooo I better get going cya all laters! hugs :-D
