i agree with micheal on this one, i owned a 95 neon witha dohc motor swap, 5 spd swap, and planned on a turbo or a srt-4 swap but i popped a timing belt and rough times set in and had to sell it, best desicion i ever made if you asked me, if i hadnt sold it, i would not have my silvia now!!! damn, i loved that neon though...

You're going to have TONS of fun when your car breaks down. Some of those people will just hook it to anything if they dont see the hooks.

Also, Cutting the hooks wont stop anyone from stealing it. If someone wants to bad enough to tow it the will hook the front wheels and drag it up.

Most vehicles don't have tow hooks on them, and yet it's not that hard to get them on tow trucks or towed behind another vehicle. Tow hooks just make it a bit easier.

My car has been towed many times.......never a problem. But for some people seeing tow loops---it may tempt them to take your car.............I just don't like it being visible.

It goes with my car too because its blue haha. I dont know, my father grabs little trinkets here and there. He worked part time for a junkyard and grabbed every little thing he could. *Not steal, we are not thieves*

The Chevelle is nicknamed "The Bumble" because it is a straight front axle car and the front & the back are WAAAAAY up in the air. Therefore the suspension is bouncy...and Bumbles Bounce! Combine that with a unhealthy obsession for seasonal holiday cornyness and BAM!

If I would have waited 5 minutes, there probably would have been a Speed Racer Mach 5 car hanging there, but I like the bumble. hes bad ***
