well...lets say im stuck in traffic...or i stop at a red light...what if a hooligan comes up, opens the tank and puts sth in there...like he can potentially blow up the car u know..

my car is in a third world country, so anything can happen...now don't get a wrong impression, but it may happen u know.

Oh Man! trojan just made my day!!!!

That was hysterical... Sounds like a tough neighborhood you live in, and I thought Brooklyn had a bad rep.
You must be in the West Bank part of Los Angeles.
I guess you are a man concerned with a high level of protection trojan sorry.

I don't know, perhaps sticking a note saying "Pick on an oil tanker, not my car" on the fuel flap should help? But seriously, if the area is that prone to vandals, I would be more worried about the rest of the car let alone the fuel flap. You are a brave man to drive in such situation (unless its an armoured e60).

ok guys...here u go...THIS is what can happen...

now, my question is "why did that happen". looks like they're rioting for a reason, no?

either way why not just MOVE if you're affraid of the locals and fuel tank attacks? somehow an e60 would seem out of place there...

well we live in a city of twenty million people and there are parts we never go at times or ever , riots are not common but happens sometimes in the University area where most protest takes place , most expensive cars and their owners live in neibourhoods very much detached from rest of Bangladesh , and we all have different cars to take to bad parts of the city for not just riots but bad traffic and road condition . I have never seen a luxury car ever set on fire here, if somone does it they will know the owner will get back at them and their family and their extended family LOL so we are cool LOL

hook up a taser to your fuel flap with a remote on/off switch. Some petrol pariah pushes it in once... click... "don't tase me bro" and it's over.
