Broken into while I was at work. Busted passenger side door glass, dented the top of the same door, destroyed ignition, and stole the bass tube.

Re: What's that worst thing that happened to your ITR since you owned it?? (EPGONZALEZ)
Not waiting for the right r, got fed up and just went out and bought one. It was ok, but the next three i saw were nice stock ones that were better taken care of.
Buying a warantee, what a ******* waste of money
Rings werent properly seated and dealer refused to replace due to previous dumbass who owned..
Bent 16 valves...
Bent both axles after rebuild...
Got hit by gian tent leaving a dent in teh fender..
Some punks jacked my emblems..
It should be all good now, jdm front end here i come..

Re: What's that worst thing that happened to your ITR since you owned it?? (redx)
Right after I got the car I plowed it straight into a curb a 45mph, bent my front control arms, dented my stock rims, bent quarter panel, and blew a tire. Cause = me being a stupid idiot newb that thought a empty newly developing neighbor hood would be a safe place to test out the R's mizzad handling. Unforunately it was devopled enough to have curbs
Installed a new set of cams and didn't change the Timing belt even though the car had 50,000mi. At 75k the belt jumped a few teeth and bent my exhaust valves.
I've spun it various times out here in the country, but my last adventure sent my ramping over a ditch and slamming the front end into the other side. Somehow the front end wasn't damaged bad and zip ties have it looking better than new. I usually test out new techniques with level grass fields on each side, going slow, but I had gone farther down the road than my usual spot and wasn't paying attention to the ditches when I started to try induce oversteer by trail braking.
The R has been slid and driven down a few thousand miles of dirt roads that splice through the cotton fields.
I'm missing alot I'm sure but most stem from my owning the car

took an exit ramp a little too fast and spun around. hit a marker on the side of the road.
The OEM side skirts were a couple of weeks old. bought a replacement set.

No, seriously!
It was the project from hell, and still is.
Much to be done to make it "right"!
tHINK OF IT IN TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. (OOPs cap lock).

hahaha I second that! My car isn't a type R (prelude turbo) but after 1 1/2 years of what I've dealt with I wish I could start over - I would do something really crazy like ... an intake.

5 car pileup on the Schuykill Expressway in PHilly = massive front and rear end damage... Lots of Insurance money later, and she's almost as good as new. Also have had various hit and run, door dings, and stoopid dents... #386 has had a tough life, but she's still running strong and looking pretty good

I had two $2k claims while I had #009 
1. Got egged, causing paint damage across the hood, roof, hatch lid and spoiler.
2. Had the spoiler stolen, resulting in replacement of the entire hatch assembly.

yes, eventually insurance usually paid me.. I hope they sued NYC for that..
sticky bolts.. you know, bolts you can't get off (for one reason or another)..
