I wish there was a way to install that car security package that electrocuted the bastard thieves like in the movie robocop 2.

I'm so sorry, I wish they would have just kept the car. You don't want it back after that stuff happens.

I've heard that to steal a car with a chip in the key they switch out the ECU to one that they have a key for. I don't know where they get them but apparently the thieves can get a new ECU and key and just swap them.

I was shocked to hear when he found out that to replace the seats to buy them from honda it's $8k cost to the insurance company?
8000 sounds like horseshit to me. I think I've looked and they are something like 800-1000 each.

Maybe you should look again.

Honda retail for both seats is closer to $9,000 than $8,000.

And they don't sell seats, just parts. The replacement seats are assembled by your local Honda dealer.

does that mean people can just buy the cushion bolsters when they wear instead of the entire seat?

Sorry to hear about the car

Yeah, you can buy the parts separately, but the leather bits are hella expensive!
