^^^^Yeah, that!

I remember seeing this as well. Now thats a deterent, not some stupid alarm. Now every car theif in South Africa has to wonder "If I try to get in, will I be a hot dog in 30 seconds?"

I wonder how many people would stop accidentally setting the alarm if was in fact a flamethrower.

Instead of 'Gone in 60 Seconds', you could be like the car in Jay Leno's little TV demostration some years back.
He tested one of his turbojet-powered vehicles on this BMW 320i that was 'parked too close behind'. That Beemer was 'Toast in 60 Seconds'!

Happy Motoring, Mark
