Auto Security ...

... since this thread is active I thought I'd mention something that I
just took advantage of ...

It turns out that Radio Shaft has a sale on an auto security system for
~U$100 (regularly $200).  My favorite feature of this system is the fact
that it includes a transmitter and a pager that is triggered when the
alarm goes off (as long as you're within 2 miles).  I have yet to
install the thing, but it does include a starter disable and automatic
arming if you choose to activate the features.  It comes with two key
fob arm/disarm transmitters, and the nifty thing I learned about it is
that the alarm learns the transmitter codes ... meaning that I can have
the same alarm in both cars and not need to carry different fobs.  I'm
going to look into hooking up the alarm system to the power locks on the
car ... I'm thinking it'll be pretty easy on the urQ, but probably more
difficult on the 5k ...

IUD!

BTW, I really liked the self energized relay in the fuel pump power
circuit idea as well ...
