So I bought my first civic about 3 months ago to drive back and forth to work since I have a 45 mile round trip to work and since my other car gets about 15 mpg a civic was a good choice since it's been getting about 38-39 mpg which is an upgrade to say the least. I had the car about 3 days and i hit a pothole doing about 70 mph and blows out the front tire and bends and cracks one of the 17s on it which i find out later that no one has and the manufacture doesn't make anymore and they are going out of business. I go to plan B and i find some used 15" GSR fat fives with tires on craigs list for $325. I get them home and roll them into the garage and wait for my day off to put them on the car. In the mean time I take my motorcycle to work and leave the car on the street. A couple of days later I get up in the morning and get ready to install the new to me wheels. I open my garage and find a blank spot where my civic used to be. I had the car excatly a week when it got stolen. So i go crap now i'm out of $1900 what do i do now. Well pretty much hope my car gets recovered with as little as missing as possible. Well good news came my way when i get a call 5 days later saying they recovered my car. So long story short I DRIVE my car home with the stereo head unit 2 speakers and the intake missing off the car and the 3 17's with the spare still on it. Since then the car has grown on me. It's not much of a project car like the other cars i've seen on this site but more of a daily driver.

I think thats the only thing that sucks about owning a Honda is that ur never safe....I just met this guy who got his coupe stolen when he went to the mall....Come on now how low will thives go!! 
Harworking people who have joy and pride of what they do to there car's....Man it pisses me off that there are people out there that do these things....I have a lot of parts for my car that I don't know if I want to put on because of things like going to the store coming out and not finding ur prized possesion!! Man theres alot of people out there with these stories and some with good turnout and other not so good!! But u know what if u are a true fanatic they can't keep u down!!
if only every stolen car could b recovered...
