    Love Hondas But Hate Them Also

    Anyways heres my sorry then you can see why the title is the way it is.
    A few weeks ago (month ago) i went outside to start up my 88 4dr civic to go to work, and I look my bumper lights were gone also were the corner lights. they even cut one of the plugs off. This is in my driveway. So a few days go by and i take it to work(leave it there) cuz i way driving my friends Talon for a few days, but still have it. So i order new corners and bumpers lights. I get the corner lights at least a week and a half ago and put them on.So this Monday i get home and i finally get my bumper lights. Go to work the next day (yesterday) put the new bumper lights on with new bulbs. So as of right now everything is good. So i leave work yesterday and my girl calls me. Asking me why dont i leave my hatch outside for work to sell it? So i tell her are you nuts its a HONDA let alone it be a CIVIC, cuz somebody will steal it. So today i go to work and one of the techs ask me if i took the lens off my 88 civic and i say NO. Well i look they are all gone again. This is twice. Once in my driveway and now at my job. THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY. SEE being that its a civic and they are dime a dozen any place you look there are HOOD RATS looking out to steal your shit. I just spent $42 on these lights. its not the money thing that bothers me, its the fact that they stole clear lights cuz they cant afford new ones. Thats why the title says what it is. I LOVE HONDAS BUT ALSO HATE THEM CUZ EVERYBODY WANTS YOUR PARTS. Its a 88 civic 4dr with over 269k; its a beater so wouldnt you think that its a beater that nobody would look to steal shit off it? WRONG.............ITS A HONDA

    So i want you guys to tell me what you would do.

    Well, I would set the car up again and wait for the bastards to come back. When I catch them jacking my shit, lets say they wouldnt be happy. If I were you I would sell the car as soon as possible. Civics attract way too much attention for what they are imo.. unwanted attention usually.. thus the Accord in my garage.

      Quit buying lights for it. If it's a beater, why worry about it?

          well i have to drive it. its good on gas. gas prices are crazy right now so i rather drive a beater back and forth to work and around town and what not. had the car for over 2 yrs never had any major problems just really had to maintain it. also you cant drive a car with lights just dangling around.

            Yeah. I understand. You should make your own corner lights. I know they won't take those. Hehe.

              Make it look like my EG hatch...LOL.

              How beater is it? Because I don't think anybody even wants to steal things off of mine.

              No carpet

              No radio

              Mismatched seats

              Not a single body panel without multiple dents (the rear passenger quarter looks like someone shot it with a shotgun..)

              But hey, it gets almost 50 miles to the gallon in the city, it is much more mechanically sound that it appears to be, and I got it for dirt cheap.

              Just make it look so beat they won't want anything off of it. It is possible.

                well the answer to yor questions is........
                the whole drivers side is smashed, it was worse but got even worse when i hit a gaurdrail in the snow. the drivers quarter is smashes as well, looked like somebody with a big truck sidewiped it and left the quarter all swirly. thats the real damage. it also has 90 integra ls wheels on it with snow tires in the front. EG SI seats in the front (there black and the rest of the interior is burgandy.

                  Hmmm. Maybe use all stock lenses and stuff then.

                  I have amber corners on mine, but only because they were free.

                    Set in the car one night, take a day off work if possible, Stay in the car all night long. If you see someone coming up to the car, start it and run over there ass. Well not that far, but get out and beat the shit out of them, call the law and tell them you were working on the car and someone came up beind you and tried to jump your shit.


                    IDK...just an idea on the table.

                      tape razor blades to the back side of the corner lights, so when they wrap their grubby little hands around them to pull then off, it cuts the shit out of them.....make 'em earn those corners. later

                              That shit sounds right out of Grand Theft Auto.

                              I want to break out the ps2 now and get my San Andreas on.
