The 'list' is by raw numbers, Check the lists of cars most stolen by percentage of them made, and you will find a very VERY different list.
IIRC the BMW M Roadster was #1, and the Escalade was #10, and the Vette was on that list.
The 'list' of raw numbers, 4 of the top 10 spots are taken by different years of Acura Integra, The civic is one spot.
My car is slow as shit, it runs 18's, and its a POS, You post like once a week in random threads, and its just something stupid like "Junk" or "Its slow" about cars like mine, which is in no way really contributing at all to these boards...
National insurance crime bureau:
The NICB top ten list—the number in parentheses is the model year most stolen:
1. Honda Civic (1995)
2. Toyota Camry (1989)
3. Honda Accord (1991)
4. Dodge Caravan (1994)
5. Chevrolet C/K 1500 (1994)
6. Ford F-150 (1997)
7. Dodge Ram Pickup (2003)
8. Acura Integra (1990)
9. Toyota Pickup (1988)
10. Nissan Sentra (1991)
Um yeah, civic is number one, and not one list has the vette listed....
I'm not tring to hate on the civic, and I would like to congratulate you on the purchase, and I hope you have the best of luck with it :smile:
I just didn't understand why you thought the vette was more likely to be stolen

you do know i also have a civic right?
and the only thing i wanted to prove about the DR's in the snow was that its not impossible to use them, and people shouldnt cry about changing them around with street tires... personally with my driving style, i cant run a street style tire because i would wear it out in around 3 or 4 thousand miles and at about $450 a pop, that would suck! i get about 6k out of DR's and they only cost about $175 a tire.... do the math... who is the idiot?

yea i really hate having an 11 second car that gets 25 MPG..... you realize the new vettes get almost 30 MPG too right?
and BTW... as of today, the vette no longer needs a head gasket. besides, the heads were coming off to install these anyway click me!!! im actually impressed how brand new the motor looks.... there are still fucking cross hatches in the cylinders. and speaking of reliability, except for this head gasket, there has not been one major service on this car. you gotta remember what they put these motors in... taxis and police cars, and according to their type of mileage, my engine is only 1/4 of the way to its first rebuild

Damn, I didnt even see this thread.
Dasfinc - To say your civic is just as reliable as stink stars is dumb and very ignorant. Isnt your car broke right now? Havent you broke something everytime you go wide open throttle? (This is what I have heard) Cars can break, wither you beat on them or drive like a grandma, and the chances of something breaking on a old car are MUCH more greater than a new car. Keep driving your 15 year old car around thinking nothing will break because its a Honda.
How can you possibly say your hatch is just as fast as stink stars? Do you have 1/4 mile times to back it up? Have you raced him? I found it extreamly funny when we were at syP's house and that V6 mustang drove by and you said "slowwww" then a old 3 series drove by and you said "I can hose that". Other people also commented on what you said that day. You say these because people with motor swaped hatches run a certain time? Please dont compare your car to another car with simlar mods, its a different car with a different driver. I know plenty of instances where a car didnt run "as it should".

The list you posted is BULK numbers of cars stolen, Of course there are gonna be more civics stolen, there are 10 million of them on the road, but what I'm saying is Vettes are in the highest loss lists.
For example
if there is 1 civic stolen for every hundred made,
and there is 1 vette stolen for every hundred made,
There are going to be ALOT more stolen civics because so many more were made, but there is still a high % chance that your vette will be stolen because there are fewer of them, Catch my drift?
100,000 civics compared to 1000 vettes, 1,000 stolen civics opposed to 10 stolen vettes. So it would only take 10 vettes to be stolen to have the same % loss rate as a civic.

No, I personally don't care what you or others own or drive.
Since you also have a Civic it makes even less sense that you'd start riding them for getting one.
Fucking hypocrite, it's sooo cool to rip into someone on their new car putchase I guess.
[sarcasm]Hhhmmm, buy a civic for a dd or buy exhaust for the M3. I think I'll go with exhaust for the M3!!! [/sarcasm]
find me a decent exhaust for a BMW that costs as much as what he paid for that civic please. My e46 needs some lovin.
Actually, it makes James look even more retarded IMO. SS has a newer model SI while dasfinc is riding on 15+ year old cars. Saying a 90sum DS civic is gonna keep up with a newer model SI??
Sign me up for ignorance is bliss club over here.
Last I checked a 'decent' exhaust for an E46 is north of $1500, so more than 3 times the cost of this civic.Shit, the cheapest exhaust I've found for the E92 M3 is by Remus, $1500. The most expensive, $11,000 from Gruppem!!!! How ridiculous is that shit!!! Your e46 an M or 330???

I'm gonna laugh my head off when my hatch walks your mighty regal :wink:
neither actually. i don't like 330 front ends and i'm not quite baller enough for an M....yet.
325xi. 5spd AWD
i'm taking it to autobahn later this month, can't wait to see how AWD compares to all the dumb FWD hondas i've owed in the past.But yeah, everything is stupid expensive for this car. I'm probably going to end up designing my own exhaust and welding it up in full stainless. i'll let you know how that works out.
Did I say anything about my car?? Ill take my belt off and run you now silly billy.

Careful what you say around here. Many people on this forum seem to think that FWD is better than RWD for drag racing, one guy even told me his FWD Taurus would smoke me on a road course!!! FWD>RWD>AWD
You keep saying "when my hatch will do this....when my hatch will do that"......I think you've been saying that ever since I've been on this board
QFT!!!
My hatch has been slowly gathering parts, and it just finally got swapped, then it broke, and now its getting fixed, and Its gonna get boosted, and its gonna break again... Its a vicious cycle.
For the one week it was alive and running well it was a BLAST, and Netchemica/Thinkingstrings/ledzepp can attest to it.
