I am a female.

Thanks for all the advice.
I did have an alarm put on the car with a kill switch if its activated, and it sure did give me piece of mind. The town I live in is notorious for car thieves, Id say the best in the area. I understand if they really want, Im sure they could figure out a way to take it. I just want to deter the common thieves and crackheads that either want my wheels for trade or quick cash. I really didnt think of that negative attention before I put the money into it. I can say I didnt "bling" it to be snobby or a show off, I just have never owned a really nice car, and probably will ever afford one, so I just thought of fixing up the car I have. It runs good, always has, runs even better because I also put some work into it under the hood and wheels, and now it looks good too. I figured out to just save myself the want of another and just fix the one I got. I also get personally attached to my cars. I know it sounds crazy, but I do. I give every one a name and feel a small bit of affection for them. Please dont mistake it for physical shallowness, its just I went for a long time without a car when the one I had before tore up and I didnt have the means to fix it. I like having a car, and its a good car. It gets me where I want to go and I APPRECIATE IT!!! So I said, what the heck, and gave it a new paint job and some "bling bling".
