Ive been thinking about this a lot lately with all the thefts that have been around, and over the last few years.
I hate to overdramatise, but I think it really is going to get to a stage soon where our cars not going to be able to be driven as daily's any more.
The popularity of conversions and in Honda's as "performance vehicles", and the dropping price of parts and availability is starting to drive theft. Every stupid little punk wants to rip bits of a R, motors, brakes, interiors gearboxes etc.
If anyone here frequents Honda-Tech, you would know that the Acura Integra has/had the highest incidence of theft in the US! This is not good for us as enthusiasts not only because we have to be careful and vigilant about how we use our cars, but insurance is going to go through the roof!
My advice to everyone is, make sure you are insured! If you can't afford to insure the car, you can't afford the car, and buy a cheap daily for transport! Lock your cars up during the day and at night or if it isn't with you, the more of these cars get stolen the more we will be punished as owners with high insurance premiums.
It aint a Ferrari, i know that, and i appreciate all different cars, but ive had mine since new, and until today everytime i drive it it still puts a smile on my face, so i really like my car, i dont want some stupid f*(k getting there hands on it, and i dont want too many of us on here becoming statistics.
What are everyone's thoughts?
