I ask because I live in Chicago, and one thing i worry about is someone stealing my car or something. Are people looking for these cars or what?

At first i was going to get something a little more low key, but dam, i love this car

 

Yeah Man... there real HOT .... buy this car and you will surely get it ripped off .... Iam on my 4th one... it is one hot potato ....

 

i have only heared of one getting stolen so far and it was from a delaership and it was a rs1 that got stollen by some naked guy lol its realy a ture story to there is thread on here about it lol


other then that they seem to get in accednts alot im on my 2nd on already in 1 year

 

lol @ the 1st guy

but that seems true about the accident thing...my friend had his for like 2 weeks before he crashed it

but he drives crazy

 

i doubt it will get ripped off easily. unless they have a flatbed to haul it away. the transponder key does a decent job of keeping hotwiring away.

unlike most hondas, they haven't released a vehicle specific hot box, which is meant for aftermarket remote start installations, but is many times used to override the transponder system in a matter of seconds

 

hahaha so do i and i take full fault for one crash but the last one i was at a red light for like 30 sec just sitting there listing to some mars volta and thne there was a celica trying to hide under my tc all of a sudden lol the damage isnt verry unnoticable for how hard he hit and how he almost went under my tc lol dropd celicas seem to sit alot lower the tc's with trd coils he hit my exhuast more then my car lol

 

I had my drivers side window busted out last night. Funny thing was I had a nothing taken. I had a $400 radar detector and my wallet tons of cd's and nothing taken just smashed my window. So just becareful.

 

Mars Volta - yup, that would explain the lack of periods.

 

hahaha yeah ummm my period is broken on my keyboard ok realy its not im just to lazy lol

ive gone over it alot lol

 

yea...shyt like that ____es me off...if anything ima have to worry about stuff like that

how much did the window cost to get replaced?

 

Most cars that get stolen are chopped for parts..which is why hondas are stolen more than any other. There are millions of hondas out there so there is a big market for the stolen parts...like seats and airbags. Since there arent a lot of tC's out there, there isnt a demand for stolen parts yet so I dont thinnk youre in much danger. Joyriding on the other hand is different, but usually joyriders arent pros at getting into cars like the chop shop guys so the transponder chip will likely protect you from that.

 

engines to are the main reason integras with there b18's are the #1 stolen car in the country and seeing as how our engine is top notch as far as forced induciton goes im sure we will run it to this problem to all the celica guys are going to pay some one to cut my babbys hart out NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

 

I would suggest no remote start system b/c you are just begging for ppl to steal the car since you have a immobilizer bypass. don't keep anything in the car. I keep nothing in my car and I make sure that my tint is not too dark. I would prefer thiefs to see that there is nothing in the car worth stealing and have them walk away than to have them thinking there is something to hide b/c of dark tint.

 

I never even considered that when getting a car tinted. I guess curiosity killed the window then?

 

Around Detroit, most of the cars stolen are domestic brands. However, Toyotas are some of the most stolen cars in America, so they might try to get similar parts as those in Toyotas.

 

That's the same reason I don't keep my stereo cover down when parked..... I don't want a thief to break in thinking there's a better stereo in there than the stock Scion one.. =)

 

my buddeies civic got jacked downtown chicago

i dunno about the tc... with the special keys and etc... plus being new and not tooooooo modifiable and what not

i think as time goes on it will be more apt to getting jacked

 

Mars Volta rocks!

 

not to get off topic well i geuss its not realy off topic since were talking about stealing tcs in CHICAGO but i saw them in may they kicked ___ i have never seen a more amazing live performance

 

I dont see why people would steal TC's. As to how easy it is, I never looked in to it.
