Sorry to hear about that. At least it wasn't the VR-4, but having any car stolen sucks.

Yes those dodge intrepids are easy to steal, pop the lock, pop the ignition and go. I was sitting in my car listening to music at the theatre I work at and I watched a guy do it to my buddies car before I thought wtf is he doing and ran out with a crowbar ftw...can be done in about 35 seconds from time of popping lock to driving off. I'm thinking of doing the steering wheel hub mod and just taking the wheel with me.

Hmmm, maybe what I heard was the Ram was just in the top 10?
I believe it was also quoted for a specific area in Michigan as well.

Regardless I always hear about Chryslers being easy targets, and apparently they are.

Anyway, my brother said he'll sell me the stealth, since I'm basically doing him a favor.

Once again it's a 91 R/T, has a few mods and customizations. Exhaust, intake, sound system.

It's been sitting for over a year and definitely needs a little TLC maintenance. It has only 60-80 thousand miles on it (rough estimate, I'll double check).

I offered him 3 grand for it, since top condition on KBB was ~$4000. He said 3500, which I'm probably going to take.

So I'll have two 3/S's now, which is pretty exciting. I won't know which one to mod. Definitely wouldn't mind picking up a set of the 3SX headers for my new N/A 3/S.

Still just wish that this $3500 was going to my VR4....

Put it in the VR4 and use it as your DD for awhile :P

I would, but I baby that car wayyy too much. Trying to keep the miles low, only drive it on my days off with beautiful weather.

Plus I drive all over for my work, some stores in shady locations. Don't wanna risk anything with my baby.

Josh3000 · 04-20-2008, 04:21 PM

Ah, completely understandable. I'd probably skip on getting the Stealth and get some cheap car that is just good on gas then. Get an early 90's Civic for your DD, lol. That way you'd spend around $1500 instead of $3500. Also won't have to throw 93 octane at it and only get 18-20mng with the Stealth.

I was talking to the "security" at meijer and they were telling me how they've had a car parked in the very closest spot, not handicap, but first open spot in the lot stolen right in mid day. The bastards that steal cars like that have that down to a science. They probably get into the car, cut the alarm, and hotwire it within a minute or two.

Also, everyone says that Chrysler/Dodge's are easy pickings for thief's. In fact I believe Dodge Ram's were/are the top stolen car?

no honda\acuras are... mitsu evos are stolen alot too
