Default cool R spotted in torrance, ca

i went to the mall in torrance today to finish up my x-mas shopping and i saw a black ITR in the parking lot. after i parked my car, i took a closer look and it had jdm front and it was RHD. if that is anyone's R in here, i'm wondering, is that JDM converted or is it japanese R? anyway, very nice R.

What's wrong with Torrance. Its the best city that people can afford in the South Bay... (when comparing cities in the SB take RPV, and PV, Rolling Hills out of the choices)...

The problem is an ITR isn't safe in most cities, Torrance included!

yeah, that's the same R that i saw. so i guess it's not converted. anyway, i thought it was pretty funny to see 3 packs of red marlboro's on his passenger's seat. must be a heavy smoker?

btw, torrance is a nice city, but i personally wouldn't drive my R to the mall either.

i saw a very clean black ITR parked at Valley Fair here in San Jose. i absolutely could not believe it, it was parked next to the staircase too, as hundreds of people walked by it. i just stood there and stared at it for a couple minutes in awe, not by seeing an ITR, just the fact that someone left it there.

and the day before that, next to Oakridge (actually down the road, but still also in SJ...man what is with me and malls) i saw a PY ITR parked [next to the skating rink to be exact].

if either of the south bay ITR owners read this, i want to commend the both of you on being very brave

I have to disagree, random parking at a mall, like I do is the only way to do it. If I did it all the time, That would be stupid.
Anything repetitive with the R will attract negative attention, Random parking, and going thru bad areas is sometimes unavoidable. But if certain precautions are taken, then most people should not fear (so much).

Yeah no ****, not to mention it had a JDM front and it was RHD. That's just nuts. No way I'd park my car at any mall up in LA, that's integra suicide.

It seems the really unfortunate ITR owners get their cars stolen from their residences. Seems though the city you live in really has no bearing on where a thief will strike.

How do I know? It happened to me.

Bingo. It's my only ride. You just have to be cautious. Of course, most people where I am don't even know wtf it is. Being the ONLY ITR in the city is interesting
