well my house has a 1 car garage. and my ITR slept in it everyday. but my father purchased a 98 Prelude SH and hes convinced that they would steal his car before mine because his has no alarm. so that my ITR should sleep outside. with my alarm and all does my car still have a higher chance of being stolen? i have the alarm and the clutch lock. ive tried convincing him that my car is still a bigger target for theft but he insists theyd steal his because it has no alarm

 

definitely the ITR! you're dad must not known how rare an ITR is now.

a poll will convince your dad about your situation.

you should gather all the stories of stolen ITRs compared to preludes, that would convince him too.

 

Who steals preludes?

Buy him a alarm, drop 300 bucks and be done with it.

they used to steal ludes alot back in the day but now adays R's are becoming rare. a heif even knows how rare they are so they go nuts when they find one

 

buy your dad an alarm, and call it a day

 

what the hell is your dad smoking? tell him to go spend the $200 for an alarm and leave his bucket outside

For reals. I live in SF and if I had an ITR, I'd have someone keep an eye on that thing while I sneezed--there's no way I would EVER leave it parked outside for even a fraction of a second. Parking it somewhere besides a garage overnight is absolutely out of the question IMO.

And on the flipside, there are a few nice looking Preludes parked downtown everyn night where my buddy's 93 Si was stolen.

ITR = biggest theft target ever. Prelude = no one cares. Does anyone else think this is a no brainer?

PS. Alarms do nothing. Do a search for 'stolen' and pretty much every car that gets stolen has an alarm.

 

LMAO

no question here, i have a 2 car garage, and the woman's S2k and the R go in everynight, and the '08 Accord sits in the driveway, rain wind hail whatever.

gotta look at it as wich cars can be EASILY replaced? im my case, if the Accord get f-ed up, we can go right down to the dealership and get a new one.

put the ITR in the garage. I hate reading about stolen ITRs!!! Preludes are not stolen that often compared to

 

dont even have to ask man.
of course the itr has to sleep in the garage.
nobody wants ludes

 

fully agree on itr in garage, anyone see a itr in ur drive way, first thing would be off is ur itr sticker lol

 

well i'ma look at it this way.
Thieves know its a b*tch as swap a H22, but B18c5 on the other hand is less of a b*tch.
Get the prelude alarm and call is a day!

 

Your father has no rhyme or reason as to why his completely undesireable (to thieves) car should occupy the garage, other than some outdated notion from the 70's that car alarms actually work. If you lose the garage, you lose the R. It's cut and dry.

 

If your dad still isn't convinced, bring him here to HT and he can ask thousands of Honda owners.

If the ITR still sits outside...he is an ignorant greedy bastard.

 

ITR!

 

although if it was my dad, he would say it is his garage so his car gets to stay inside....
i would agree that the itr is 100x more prone to theft and should be garaged every night when possible

 

Nobody wants Prelude anymore.

 

canuckr and I were talking about this at VIR. We agreed that if one had a Radical, a GT3 RS and an ITR, but only one garage bay, the ITR would be in the garage.

So my vote goes to the ITR hands down, who steals a gheylude anyways?

 

as horrible as this sounds my 2006 evo sleeps outside while my itr is in the garage :/

17 year old cheerleaders. Duh!

 

the itr should obv be the one in the garage. it would be smart to just lave the prelude in the driveway as bait. the prelude is a **** load easier to replace than an itr. a smart theif wouldnt want to bother with a h22 swap anyway. i agree with everyone else. just buy him a pos alarm to help him sleep at night.

 

I'm of the opinion that the person who owns the garage gets to park in it, but the ITR is far more likely to be stolen than the Prelude. Even your insurance company can tell you that.
