I like this solution the best. Keep your S out of sight and out of harm's way. No sense risking it if you'd only be using it as a DD. But that's just me.

 

chances are if there is alot of theft in that area... there will always be another guy bring him 2 cartons of smokes and 2 bottles...

get full full full coverage

 

Dont lie to yourself...they would steal the car if they could start it/flatbed/tow it.

Get a great insurance policy and hope for the best.

 

i think the soft top makes it a target for amateurs due to how easy it is to cut open and have at to whatever they want.

 

Hey thanks for the tips everyone. I will start with the things you all have suggested. Also I just handed in my packet to get my concealed weapon permit. If I can catch someone in the act and as long as they have something deemed as a weapon, I can use deadly force. And believe me, I don’t miss with my 1911.

 

honestly i would get a beater, its probably going to get tampered with

 

your sergeant is full of shit.. i was raised in the el paso area, bought my s2000 there, and while some parts did get stolen (Honda badges and side markers) i never complained or worried about it getting stolen. never installed an alarm or bought a hardtop either. of course, if you want to take precaution buy some wheel locks, seat locks, and maybe install an alarm but i find it to be unnecessary.

... however if you live in the central area, which is relatively close to the border but nowhere near ft. bliss i'd worry. the north east side of el paso is also known to have a bit more crime than other areas, but just remember el paso was ranked the #4 safest city in the U.S.

 

USAA Auto Insurance! If you dont have it I believe you can get it. And I dont think you have to be an officer anymore. Best Ins. Co out there.

 

Hey thanks for the tip. I have never been there so all i can do is go off what people tell me. Any suggestions on where to live?

 

already got it
