I guess out west its worse then the east because i havent really seen or heard anyone breaking into/vandalizing GS. but i do know the 1IS is def the new "it" car for ricers due to lower resale values.

That's a damn shame. We used to never hear about stories like these. Especially so often.

Second that. Modded IS's are a dime a dozen nowadays around here. I rarely ever see a 2GS, modded or not, and half the ones I do see are blinged out on 22's. Definitely not Honda driver territory.

I wouldn't imagine that most Honda fanboys would have too much interest in our cars anyway. They're too slow and don't have manual transmissions.

Shame that someone vandalized your car. But those visors don't belong on cars anyways. They belong on trucks. Just get rid of them.

Its true man, 2Gs are getting easy to get a hold of and low budget people are stealing in order to fix theirs up. I'm thinking of getting a LS430, but they're just going to get cheaper and same thing will happen, and i cant afford a LS460. I got a GS to get away from being jacked so many times in the Honda scene, but its happening again...

This sucks man, I just dont get why people can't earn their own stuff and have to steal everyone else's hard earned possessions. It just really shows you the kind of people out there. Best of luck in the future, and dont lose hope in the 2gs! It's a great car and will ALWAYS be a great car!
