To answer your question "In all honesty, is it really worth starting a gun fight over a car?
" Dont think for a minute they will not harm you or your wife or your girlfriend or you kids. If you steal my car from a parking lot and i see you driving away, i probably would not shoot, you get in my car with me and try to steal it I will be cleaning your brains off the headliner for the next 6 months.
