Default Thinking about trading my R..opinions

Well since 5 guys tried to steal my car in a stop light i never enjoyed driving at night alone.....there arent many itrs here in portugal and this happened to other friends of mine with itrs....having a car that i cant enjoy whenever i want to is depressing
So i was wondering about trading my 98 itr for a 2000 sk2 or a 98 z3m, supra would be another choice but i cant find a decent one with low milage.....opinions please

Damn, I do not know that ITR is a thieve magnet as well in Portugal...
I think trading the R to car like S2K, supra, etc is not a bad idea.

Having driven both the s2k and MRoadster, I would say either is a good choice. On the one hand, I have had bad experiences w/ BMW and personally think they are a terrible company. On the other hand, the s2k, despite having Honda reliability, is much more cramped if you are a taller person. I say look into both carefully. Good luck.

it sounds more like they tried to kill u first then took your R .. but thief is one of the main reasons why R owners want to trade for another car i believe

all of your choices are great, but if there's theives out for the itr already, you never know, but maybe your choice of cars might go through the same thing. im not tryin 2 worry you or ne thing, but jus giving you a thought.

holy!
will it be safer after you traded your ITR?

my brother traded his because he got caught by police too many times. Not by speeding, but heavily mod

there are a lot s2k here in pt comparing with itr´s that are rare so it doesnt call that much atention and z3m for the blind ones looks like the 1.8 version (sucks) since thats the most common z3 here
Im looking more for the s2k if i change it but my friends want to spank me if i trade it LOL
