Plus the fact it's a 50% inport tax on foreign made cars. Which really drives up the amount lost.

That could be a thong for a big enough girl. Barely there might still be an apt name.

Carjack fail.

Two clueless carjackers foiled by stick shift

BY DANNY VALENTINE



BY DANNY VALENTINE

St. Petersburg Times

Two would-be carjacking victims still have their car after their assailants were thwarted by an unlikely ally: The car's stick shift.
Police said a 45-year-old man was dropping off a work truck in St. Petersburg. just before 1 a.m.
His 23-year-old girlfriend came to pick him up in her 2007 Nissan, which has a manual transmission.
She stopped to let her boyfriend get out and lock up at the business' gate. As he returned to the car and the pair got ready to drive away, two men appeared on either side, police said.
One pulled out a handgun and told them to get out or they would shoot. The couple got out. The two men demanded money and a cellphone. They got a cell phone, but apparently no money, police said.
The men then jumped into the vehicle and started it up, but that's where they were foiled. They couldn't drive stick.
Police said the two men gave up and ran.

Might not have been a 'win' when his 43 year old wife read about it in the paper
