      There is great value in visual deterrence.

  2. Crime disruption and an effective version.
    The pedals on the well-used machine confuse me this early in the morning; if the photo is mirrored does that explain it?

    1. Three pedals, tilt steering, butter-churner between the seats...

      Nope, all there...

    2. MN Steel, I think what Dan is saying is the *shape* of the throttle pedal is unusual. Most times, the throttle pedal is longer, the brake pedal is a bit wider, and the clutch is square-ish.

      I'm no @IowaHawkBlog, but I suspect this is a late 90s to early 2000s Volkswagon Passat. Whatever the exact make and model, the pedals are extra-fancy distance-adjustable. That's why the throttle pedal is sorta floating in air.

  3. With that stick shift most wouldn't be able to drive it anyway. But I get it on the Vet thing.

    Standard setup for Seattle drivers, in one form or another. I used The Stick, and do any time I go back to The Blue Tarp City.
