mines a daily driver, i drive it to my high school every day, i go to the mall...no problems really, there are a few in town...more than you would think iowa would have.

 

Yes.

 

Ok I don't own an ITR, but I would park it wherever. If it got stolen, yeah that'd suck, but no car is worth changing my life to protect. It's just a friggen car. :shrug:

 

I dont change my life to protect it, but I use my head when I park it.. at night I make sure I park it in a well lit area, and if I can see a camera I park it within site of it. Its not changing my life, its just using caution.

 

Mine has been my daily for about 2 years, i dont have a garage to store it in either, so it sees all the elements unfortunately. Its not the most comfy daily driver out there, but i have fun everytime i get behind the wheel. It's a drivers car, plain and simple.

 

It's my daily driver, and why not? - great mileage, Honda reliability, and great fun. I drive it approx 50 minutes each way to work(some great roads included) and for everything else. If the weather's especially terrible ie snow storm, I'll try to use one of the other cars in the household.
The car gets its share of looks (as it should!) and the occasional kid who thinks I want to street race because I drive an R, but otherwise no problems. I'm somewhat careful with parking (no body-side moldings for protection) but not paranoid about it.
It's a $25K car, not a Ferrari - use it!

 

Yup,
I just moved from my parents house to my own (apt),So i'm a little worried since it is not in a garage but pretty close (covered and gated parking) and use my car to work daily.. And love every mintue im in the R..

 

For the first couple of years of its life, my ITR was the commuter car because my ol'e 6.3 Merc got about 8 miles per gallon.

I never experienced any troubles with theft or vandalism, but I'm not sure it'd be the same today. (Hell, "Floyd" just had his car vandalised right outside his apartment complex in a safe neighbourhood just to get the Sparco EVO seats out of it!)

For whatever it's worth, a stock ITR is a very nice daily driver commuter, provided you don't have to use cruise control.

 

Ahhhh that's just it, Dave...if you don't own one , you can't know what the typical R owner feels.
You are right though, it is just a car...but this car can't easily be replaced. And there is no other Honda product that can be daily driven...winter/summer and be this fast on the track...stock!!!

This is what the R is all about. 8)

 

I don't think it's about the car getting stolen, it's about the whole feeling of having something that YOU own and that YOU Paid for ripped out from underneath you. And the cops won't do a damn thing about it. THAT'S what it's about...it's not about a material thing...it's about ethics and morals.
