sup,
whose honda/acura turbo is thier daily driver? is it a sleeper? are you worried about theft...im in the process of deciding whether to turbo my daily driver or not.

thanks

 

im pretty sure there are alot of people on this board who use their turbo car as a daily driver. As for theft issues? Just make sure you got your eye on it all the time =P If you are really that worried about it getting stolen, maybe invest some money into a nice alarm/security system while you are at it.

 

make sure you have a second car for down time

I started out with my turbo civic as my only car... I had to get another car after after borrowing someone elses beater for months while going threw my last two motors... and while building my 3rd motor.

of course I had to smash my second car also with no insurance because of my great car luck, so now I have to buy another one and still pay for the two that are not on the road

 

lots of kill switches would help

 

Mine's a daily driver. Although I've never worried about theft, the local police blotter said someone's mini van was stolen from the very short street I live on. It makes sense, though. There are soccer moms in mini vans and suvs everywhere, but modified Hondas are few and far between. I guess the thieves know where to "shop." My car looks stock, it's parked underneath a street light near the end of a dead end road, I can see it from my apartment, and my neighbor's dog barks anytime someone walks by there. The only time I worry about theft is when I go to the Virginia/DC area. If you live in a high theft rate area, don't modify it unless the insurance would cover you.

 

I drive my built motor/T67 sexiness every single day to work. Thank god theft isn't an issue here, and cops are nice to me. I have my nice big front mount, some gauges, grid's, an N1, and some stickers and I don't catch any ****.

 

i drive mine 2 hours back and forth to school everyweekend one way.

 

I daily drove mine for a while... I have to drive 45 min to and from work every day so I stopped driving it to work and drive a stock VX hatch instead...

It's nice to have a stock beater car to get me to and from work, plus, when I work on my car I can take my time because I have another car to drive while it's being worked on.
