A vehicle lock for substantially immobilizing the wheels of a vehicle includes an extensible bar with a pair of shafts affixed at either end thereof. Each shaft is configured to pass through an orifice on a wheel of a vehicle. A portion of the shaft extends through the associated orifice, and a locking mechanism is affixed to the exposed end of the shaft. In an embodiment the shaft is rigidly affixed to the extensible bar, and in other embodiments the shafts are connected to the bar by means a flexible connection that allows the user to change the orientation of the shafts relative to the bar.
