[s-cars] 20k civics

[Daniel Hussey]

Uh, Get real dude!

Honda Civics and Acura Integras have high insurance for what they are as
they are wrecked by these reckless kids all the time, and they are
consistantly the most stolen cars out there.  Why??  Demand for parts in the
"import scene".  And, it's also very hard to track them down.

If you own a real Type-R, you stand a VERY good chance of it being stolen by
some poser for parts.

That's the reality, and the insurance argument doesn't explain this
phenomenon.

It catches on mostly because a few people do it, then they think it's cool,
so everyone wants to do it, and soon they are the masses... and like
lemmings they just follow the crowd.  Most of them aren't "car people" and
don't know jack about cars.  They are into the import scene and culture.
Ten years ago they would have been driving a slammed mini-truck with 8 15"s
in the back of it.  That's the reality.  But, thank god that period is over!
But, much like the mini-truck craze, we all will laugh at all these
cheeseball riced out Civics...  that is if we aren't already.

I'm into "real cars, for real car people".
