any of these, i promise they wont get jacked
notice 3 out of 4 of them are American.
although newer American cars are much better and getting closer to Japanese reliability, older cars like that Grand Ass up there are least wanted and probably least likely to get stolen.

I am seriously considering getting a new Hummber H2.
The only problem is that I cannot decide on the color.
and yes, I have only an average-size male organ, but so what? :D
of course, after reading this thread, I'm wondering if
the H2 is a safe choice... also don't want to atract the
attention of all the crooks or illegals in this county. :(

Really, except for high-class stuff like ferrari, bmw, porsche, maybe lexus, etc.; most cars over 15 years old aren't worth a shit. And if they get stolen, you won't lose much.

get an escape, if you want a smaller SUV that is and you will never get robbed with one. Pretty much any jeep will do. As unprectical a hummer is, right now would be one of the better times to buy.

I too was in your position once. I decided to get a Yoshi instead, knowing they can be practical and much more inexpensive. Then one day, with my back turned, a black hooded man came and took my precious Yoshi..
I yelled, with all the power in my lungs, THAT NIGGA STOLE MY YOSHI!!!!

Is it ture that a manual-transmission car is less likely to be stolen?
I have a 3-year-old BMW 3-series coupe with a stick. (to be honest,
I've never driven a stick-shift until I bought this car... and I was
only able to drive it after a week of learning... and only with the
help with my aunt, of all people... )

You're crazy, a Prizm is a great car! They are built on the same assembly line as a Toyota Corolla. I have a '98 Chevy (they dropped the Geo name for '98) Prizm and have had ZERO trouble with it in 150K miles. The Prizm was a grand or more cheaper than a Corolla, plus I had a big rebate built up on my GM card...only paid about 9 grand for the car brand new.
I'll agree that a Corolla isn't the jazziest car around, but for economical, reliable transportation it's just as good as a Honda Civic, which is also a great car.

Used Porche's are cheap because after about 70,000 miles they become maintainance hell. Damn German precision engineering!

I didn't realize there was a string of carjackings in Fairfax Co.. What.... maybe 3-4 annually vs. the 1M+ cars in the county? I'll take those odds and drive what the hell I want. -§
