Re: Insurance news! Top 20 most used cars for import/street racing
I would assume the only reason why is because there aren't that many of them

Re: Insurance news! Top 20 most used cars for import/street racing
Yea but then why is the NSX on there lol? I assume this means that people caught street racing are going to get bent over by their insurance company even more sometime very soon?

Re: Insurance news! Top 20 most used cars for import/street racing
Why is the cobalt on there...I didn't think that had come out for sale yet?...how is it getting used so much for street racing already...I would think minivans would have more of a history than the chevy cobalt at this point in time...

Thats what our goddam tax money goes into, fat ass, lazy 45 year old virgins who sit in front of a computer and write this shit up! Scion xb/xa? what about the tC? obviously the people who write this stuff know dippcuss about cars! when I went to get insurance on my SRT-4 the lady a Geico told me that I was denied cause I was 23 and was probably gonna use the car for streetracing. can you belive it? I'm sure I was denied for good reason but "streetracing" she has to prove I even street race before she can make those kindda claims, I got so pissed that they called the cops on my ass and get me off the property. it should be illegal for private companies to do this kinda shit cause you know they will use this list to screw over young guys who bust thier asses off working shit jobs no one else wants to work just so we can afford cars we can be proud off. sorry bitch, my mommy and daddy couldnt buy me a Vette, BMW M3 or a Porche (all cars used for street racing but convieniently not mentioned) so I guess I have to suffer cause you "think" i am going to street race. how come there is no list for the top 20 cars used to rob banks or the top 20 to sell druggs in, or the top 20 to do drive bys? how come the only fed crime the insurance are concerned with is street racing?
Gateway, bro, feed that server a virus so any goddam company tries to screw anyone over they will have thier monitor blow up and slice thier face up (unless they have plasma screen) and safe guard yours obviously....that way you'll be the only insurance guy in town!

The NSX is on there because it is equivalent in Japan as a BMW M3/M5...over there they can get as low as $40,000 (well, converting Japanese to US dollars)....also, the Skyline is on there because of the recent craze (thanks to F&F...), but they are legal in most European countries, almost all Asian countries, and Australia and Canada....
The Cobalt though, that and the PT Cruiser...(who the hell races a PT Cruiser...). I'm surprised by the Scions as well. Those cars are just confusing. Where is the Prelude as well?

yeah the Cobalt shouldn't be on there, PT Cruiser either, neither of those have anything to do with street racing, and the Scion, you can't even race one of those things! As far as the Magnum, might as well throw the Corvette on there, Magnum is middle-aged family man's car, who street races that? Where were these stats taken, a remote 2,000 population city? I see more trucks street racing than I do all of these cars combined. Think it's a little inaccurate, unless it's just a projected guess for the future of street racing.
