          I'm pretty sure seeing my car towed on a trailer through town enough times deters people away from mine, haha. I wouldn't want to steal a POS that I see being towed all the time, but that's just me, if I were a car thief, but I'm not.

              For sure, the POS angle goes a long way. I bought a mostly clean car to build because nobody thinks the rough around the edges beater has anything under the hood.

              I used to have a swapped dodge daytona, nobody suspected the rusty shitbox with the peeling tint... wheels/tires and lowered suspension are even almost ubitquous now so even that's not a red flag. I love it.

                It's really easy. You just wire the start signal switch to a relay that gets it's energize signal through the various things you want running. 10 bucks of a relay and some wiring with a couple diodes. Done.
