>My point is to always drive a car at least five years old, not too fancy and with the wrong type of gear shift. Presently, 15 year old sky blue C4 picasso with automatic - in a country where 90%+ cars have manual. In the US, it was a 5-speed corolla and a matrix, 6-speed (for the last six months), both manual. So the stealability factor was below 0,15 or better. If 90% of Americans can't drive shift, the car thieves are the more stupid population, so among them the percentage is actually worse. Never any trouble.

In the old country (CCCP) I never had a car (only rich people had cars). So, I never drove a car back then. But my military training included learning and driving a truck. So, I drove a military truck a lot. Of course, with a manual. Many years later, in the USA, I brought my car to a mechanic for some work. He said that the only thing he had as a loaner was a manual shift car, and he asked me if I could drive it. I said, of course, I used to drive manual shift trucks a lot. I left his shop, got stalled twice within 100 meters. I managed to come back and told him that he could keep his car, I will walk :)
