I was watching the news this morning in Arizona (Fox 10 news) and they start talking about Paul Newman. They go to a video of him talking about some crap, and in the background....a PY ITR. I tried to tape it but my Tivo didn't respond quick enough.

 

That is an odd spot. One of my friends claims he saw a porno with an R in it....
no proof of that tho...

 

Yup, it is true, i saw it also.

 

LoL. You guys are funny.

Do any celebrities own an Itr? It probably would be their 'beater.'

 

I think there is a rap artist who owns an ITR. I forget the name of the artist.

 

If any do, it's prolly Leno. He's got mad carz...

 

OT: but did anyone see Leno's Fiesta in Turbo A few years back

 

Actually, Leno's "Festiva" is not a Festiva at all. It's really a mid-engine 220hp mid-engine V6 SHOGUN! Very rare, Very light, and VERY FAST!

 

you forgot the part about the NOS

 

That was the festiva with the SHO Supercharged V6, right? I remember seeing that years back .. they put the battery and radiator in the back I think. They also said it handled remarkably well. Hatchcrap!

 

Saw a shogun at an autocross last year. I am not sure if it was the driver, but the car didn't post good times at all. You would figure small wheelbase, tons of power, etc. should post superfast times... Maybe he was being gentile because the car is (or will be) a collectors item.

 

i thought paul newman lived in connecticut

 

I thoguht it was Jay Z that owned one.....

 

i was going to say that SoCal yeah it is Jay Z

 

Yup, jay-z supposedly owns an R Wonder if it has 22 inch dubs...

 

do i count? i used to own an ITR and i've got mad skillz for a big purple dino, y0.

if it'd help, i can get into a beef on wax wit jigga-man. might help bolster my street cred.

-k-b0t, who likes to say "word" to himself a lot when he means "yes,"...

 

Werdddd

 

the asian prince also owns a PY ITR... look in his "vehicles" section... http://www.geocities.com/asianprince213/

 

what porno was it!? i HAVE to see it.

 

This might sound a little bit gay, and odd.. BUT here goes...

Anyone ever seen that Disney movie called "Rats"... it was about two jr. high girls that didn't have a date for a big dance so they turned these Rats into boys. Anyway, the theme song went like this: "Uh oh, we're in trouble."

Well.. in one of the scenes some boy picks up one of the girls and when he's at the door you can see his car in the background. An out-of-focus CW Integra Type R. You can even make out the stickers.

 

LOL -- that Asian Prince is ******' hilarious!

didn't Lucas' son have one that he raced at BW?

 

hey, now that u say it, i do remember this movie! i cant remember the name tho

 

I bought that movie for $.41. Seriously. I managed to score a couple Red Shoe Diaries and some movies with the least successful Baldwin Brother during the same haul. I think it was about 30 movies that day. I really don't think I spent more than $5.50 on all of them..

"Ratz" is still in it's plastic from being previously viewed. I'll sell it to anyone who wants it. It's a fine piece to add to anybody's collection of ITR memorobilia.

$2 off Sale with movies priced at $2.99 + 20% employee discount =

The engine was in the back (middle actually, in the back seat), I think the radiator stayed up front, along with a new fuel cell. I saw an article about the car just a couple years ago -- the original car was a crazy one-off, but then they'd hoped to go into production (a few hundred), but in the end only actually made like six.
