If it's what you really want then buy it. Like others have said insurance is gonna be a killer and people are going to try to steal it. About the 9mm, in Cali you can't shoot anyone unless they are threatening your safety and stealing your car isn't a good enough reason. If you do shoot someone shoot to kill and don't shoot them in the back.

It might be cheaper to just build your own type r though. Buy a LS teg, a type r motor and tranny and you're set. Since it started life as a LS it wont be as big a target unless you let everyone know what you have.

That's not true. Around here they won't touch anything thats not a GS-R or a Type R, it's not worth their time.

Same with Civics...Si or go home.

That may be the case for you, but its a different story over here.
Any Integra is fair game. Shit, they'll go for a 10 year old Camry.

most of the cars that get stolen around here arent stripped for parts. most are just cause some dumbass 15 y/o wanted a joyride. :madr:
