I've thought about getting a newer Honda Civic Si as a driver because of fuel prices, but that's a car that actually does get stolen a lot, so it would be a PITA. Trust me, no one in the 'hood wants a 1988 targa. They would have to wear parachute pants w/ a giant flat-top haircut and pump MC Hammer when they drove it. And that crowd is not really big on irony last time I checked.  |
FYI, my 87 got stolen on a busy street by thieves who then spent several thousand dollars with my atm card and sold my checking account number which was then used to write several thousand dollars of fraudulent checks. Someone's paying attention to these still!
