Now back to my original post of IF I WAS A PROFFESSIONAL CAR THIEF I WOULDN"T GO FOR AN ACURA (not yellingor screaming just emphasizing the comment) because 3000-4000 is nothing for proffessional thieves. They go for an entire car that is worth, a lot more than $3000-$4000. Would you say that I am right or not?
One of my friends used to professionally steal Ferraris. He got over ten of them before being caught.

You don't get that much more money for a whole car, EVEN a Ferrari. And guess what.... Honda engines are virtually untraceable, because they are available in such quantity. It would be a whole lot harder to sell Ferrari parts, let alone a whole car made in such small numbers.

Why steal 1 Ferrari when you can steal 4 GSRs and make more money?

Ferraris, holy ****. He couldn't get money for a Ferrari. Would he sell the parts or the entire car? Who would hire him, foreign guys? I haven't looked at it that way before. I guess it does make more sense to steal 4 GSRs. Hmmmm....... I want to shake your ferrari stealing friend's hand that is amazing.

Sold the whole car.

It is a little easier on say, the west coast, where you can simply ship the whole car to another country and sell it black market, but for 99% of the country, there isn't a whole lot you can do with top-dollar, low production cars. And shipping is really expensive.

Usually the thieves themselves don't make as much money as you would expect.

That is crazy, I would expect the thieves to get a lot of money. In that case it makes a lot of sense to take a Honda/Acura. They are easy to steal and it is easy to sell the parts. You also don't have to answer to anyone. Thanks for straightening me out on this subject.

:naughty: By the way do you have a GSR motor for sale :naughty: J/K
