Default To take my R to work with me in Wyoming?

well, i have been offered a job in Wyoming, so i would have to move from beautiful BC, canada..to wyoming? anything good there? will my R get stolen in a second? or am i gonna be sitting in hay fields in a farmer state? ideas? should i just leave the R in storage and buy a POS for down there?

My first impression is that you could prolly leave the caR running, the door open and she'll be safe. Are you going to be in a city :snicker: or just small-town America?

Hopefully someone with WY experience can chime in once they get the interweb hooked up out there. JK I think if you've kept heR safe in Vancouver, then you can handle Wyoming.

Drive it and enjoy it. Make sure you have the proper coverages just in case.

well the job there is on some railway construction, im a rock stabilization tech., just got a phone call about it tonight...they are recruiting my crew from vancouver for help....it is a 5 year project...but i only plan on staying for at most 1 year, because there are some other openings with the company in guatamala(sp?) and in hawaii. oh ya...and i just realized how small wyoming actually is....its biggest city has a pop. of 86,XXX....omg...this has to be the lowest highest population city i have ever seen...vancouver has more people than that entire state

Call it a hunch but I think you're going to be safe.


Wyoming might be small but I heard it's beaufitul in certain seasons.

You could definitely be the coolest guy in town by default.

absolutley take it, it seems like that is abou the perfect enviroment to own an r(as long as the roads are paved) if they are i bet they are nice and smooth becaus not a shitload of traffic on them, and the best part is you can enjoy your type r without worrying about theft 24/7

There is lots of snow in Wyoming. To be honest with you, I find that state next to Northern Arizona to be the most beautiful state in the country. Are you going to be in Laramie? I have not heard of a theft problem in Wyoming but not saying it will not happen.

^^^what are the numbers for? is that members?

meh, snow is not an issue...im from canada, common, i live in an igloo but i have driven the highways here in serious whiteout conditions w/ the R..so i doubt wyoming will suprise me, though salt will suck....ill just have to wash the car more often...

i was looking at some summer pics and it looks like they would have some nice scenic highway drives

not sure where ill be going in wyoming....i was just told i can go there..and when i get more info on the job ill know where im going?

hmmmm to be one of the only type R's in wyoming hahaha

The above list shows where Integra Type-R's are registered at. Based off that, you possibly may be the first!

Just a thought, maybe you should sell heR now then. It will be easier selling a Canadian car while still in Canada, rather than "importing" it here then trying to US title it for the next owner. I'm assuming you'd sell it if/when you go to HI or Guatemala anyways. If not, then keep heR and enjoy WY

you'll be fine bringing it with you....I live in Denver been up to Cheyenne a number of times and drove through the state on a road-trip few years back. The wind in southern WY can be brutal.....once or twice a year an 18-wheeler will get blown over because of the wind.....as you enter WY there are signs posted about high winds... 70-80 mph gusts.

I've been there a few times to see devils tower and climb around on it..... i think you'll be the only type R

I go to south dakota every year around the sturgis rally and i see about 2-3 riced out civics or teenagers in accords trying to race. Of course we were in a CL-S so im sure we had the hottest honda in the tristate area....

I say bring it that way you won't miss it while you are gone
