Abstinence. No, really now, it is common knowledge that the greasers during the fifties were known to line their fender skirts with razor blades in order to prevent theft. Sure. While I cannot attest to that, I did once see the bloody trail left by the one too many drunks who tried to tear down the hanging sign over the entrance to my buddy's go-go bar (known today as a gentlemen's club).

It takes some balls to do something like this. But, more importantly, it takes even more presence of mind whenever the van is taken in to have the coolant changed.
