It kind of sucks in a way because I have to leave off nice with girls and situations like that because if I don't they know what my car means to me, they know where I work and where it's parked..

Guys make sure you have the best full coverage insurance possible on your R's.

I have taken my R to countless race events with my license plates on and hood popped up during cool downs, license plate in plain view and lots of photos being taking by both pro's and regular hobbiests and fans. I don't get as paranoid as much as I used to. But I still never leave my guard down with the car.

[alswizzo]

this works for me:
1)Full Coverage Insurance
2)40 Cal S&W
3)Alarm with hood pop sensor/relocated hood wire

i daily drive my R to work and round town, I still keep a eye out for it tho.
i dont go to car shows/meets and i dont do the mall/movies.
comes home and walks a straight line ass first into the garage.

[waijsR]

my "R" insurance consists of a lab/terrier (looks like a dingo), a garage, a good alarm, a 9mm, and of course full coverage... I used to be very paranoid... nothing has changed lol

[jbrokos307]

all i got to say is if u work at the mall u have an avantage park in clear view of a camera and if it gets stolen pull the tapes i did that when my R swaped ek was stolen i saw the person and knew who was got his address went to his house my car was in his garage kicked in his door his mom tryed to call the cops i told her if she did he would be goin to jail so sit the hell down before i kill her to. left with my car in tact and $500 cash plus traction bars and he got fired from best buy i was promoted to senior installer hehehe they wanted to promote me to lead lp supervisor lol the cop that comes in on weekends nearly shit his self when the lp dudes told him the story about it he even tried to get me to join the police but i cant cause i blind in one eye

[jbrokos307]

[George Knighton]

All through 2000 and 2001, I drove '00 #110 as a daily commuter.

I don't think I'd have the courage to do that now, even though the car's not worth nearly what it was.

It's irritating sometimes when driving my R and ricers and moron's who constantly drive wrecklessly ask you "how come you drive so slow", or "you shouldn't have that car if your not going to use it for what it's made for" or "what's done to it?", One of my favorites is "Is that a real Type-R" I usually reply, "why would it be fake, does it look like I'd drive a fake one???" Others ALWAYS think your automatically trying to compete with every other car on the road by saying shit like "My boy's EVO would murk that thing, or some stupid bullshit.

This usually takes place at red lights, some idiot pulling next to me when I'm trying to park, or when I'm in a store, and someone backs there lowered civic with 18 inch wheels and a loud exhaust in next to me outside the convienent store, and has to come in asking me if I want to "run the typie".

I HATE car kids. I try to avoide them at all costs. I probably put up with all this because I'm 20, and still a "kid" and I'm looked at by other moron's my age thinking I have the same mentality as them, ect. When in fact, I'm way beyond them.

[Ben850]

man, it really must be a pain in the ASS to own a car that every low life wants to steal and put it's engine in their base model civic.

i'd be eyeballing everyone with a fitted hat and oversized pants LOL

[PyroProblem]

Thank God I dont have it as bad as you guys.I have a B16b 98 hatch with hubcaps and primed front bumper and I still get paranoid. I have a "few" layers of kill switches to help me sleep at night...
I also changed alot of screws and fasteners to a "non-typical" tamper proof style. This and some creative wiring with the horn relay and starter relay with some more hidden buttons make it a little more difficult to actually start the car and drive off...
Between all the combinations of kill switches,buttons,starter,horn,main relay, brake switch, and clutch pedal switch, I believe the only way thieves will get my car is to tow it.
Its worked once already when I came home one night to find the passenger door cracked open and the steering column covers ripped off. Stupid thieves left their screwdriver too..

no no he said i should join the police force i guess be cause of my detective skills like watching the tapes and just having balls to goto the dudes house and put him in his place and so forth idk the dude who worked loss prevention at best buy gave me his card with the capt # on it he said he wanted to meet me he said it was along time since he's seen someone go and recover there stolen property the way i did even though he didnt know i pretty much robed the guy while geting my car back which i was wrong for doin but it was that or beat him to a pulp so i made him give me his traction bars off his ek and made him give me $500 cash which i had to drive him to get and took some other stuff off his ek including his ignition switch housing and driver door lol but be cause i am blind in one eye i cant be a cop otherwise i be locking up honda theifs like no other.

LOL! Sorry but I had to laugh. I've heard that before and I was like, "WHAT THE......?" Or some bone head that pulls up in a domestic with one of his buddies and says, hey man what does the "R" stand for, rice?

I know EXACTLY wht your talking about. I work at an auto parts store and everyday people come in to talk about my car. Usually I tell them the owner is on lunch for an hour.

[HYREV2NR]

Or you have the 4X4 redneck that makes the comment, I bet I could crush your import ricer car. My favorite come-back is,...go pull up a stump.

That's the same for every "Teenage Rice Rocket" (I'm 18 and I don't even act like that) driver these days. I mean I love my share of slammed civic/tegs with some decent wheel. But some just takes it overboard. I drive a EM2 and stupid Asian (I'm Asian too so NO RACIAL (: ) pulls up next to me with tegs/eg civics and wants to race. I just don't get it, is every Honda/Acura supposed to raced ? I mean, when I cruise with my brothers TSX, same shit happens. It's like "Awwww K24A2 and you don't even wanna run, what a pussy". I just don't get it now these days. Maybe that should be the new "RICE" now haha.
