Yeah, I've only heard of one guy having his car stolen here in my whole life.

It was his wife's toyota collora...he filed a police report on it, and like a week later he's out driving and he sees his stolen car being driven. (He recognized it as his some how, probably the plate or something.) So, he starts tailing the car (this is around greater burlington area, so you know the closest thing we have to real city traffic around here)

Anyway, he ends up right behind it stopped at a red light. There's a cop at the gas station on the side of the street. He knows if he goes to get the cop, the light will turn and he'll lose the car. So before the light turns, he just rams his own stolen car. Of course the cop comes right over. The lady driving it said he boyfriend bought it for her a week ago. :/

Thats about right. I only lock my car because some guy on herion or something broke into them last summer. In 20 years, thats the only time I have had someone try to mess with cars. Someone did steal a car from the patrick gym parking lot, the person was working out, someone found the honda's keys and picked out the car.

Look at the Honda crowd and the type of people it attracts. I don't mean people who just drive a stock Civic, I mean the people who have the hiant fart can exhaust and cheap wheels on them. A bunch of thugs. It's no wonder that thugs who own a certain type of car will bring that thug mentality (and the crime that goes with it) into the scene.

ROFL you an ignorant, bigot, and a prick.


But he's RIGHT!


yeah....right.

I've touted this for years. Fast engines? Gimme a break. I've owned half a dozen cars that spank the Acura Integra 6 ways till Sunday, and I could leave them unlocked on Capital Hill and sleep well. :D
