Damn that's pretty crazy. The Acura in my area use to be plagued with integras getting stolen off the lot and not just R's but all models.

A girl that works at the dealership used to work at my old job with me, and she contacted my buddy who still works there, who in turn contacted me...convoluted, eh?

Damn with all these thefts and some people totaling their R's it makes me wonder how many are actually left in the US. I think in total from 97-2001 there were about 4500 R's sold. I bet its well under 4000 left now.

Wow, damn,,, You have amazing luck then huh? Too bad it's life ended that way but, at least you still have quite an awesome stable.

One little snippet though, when I got my first R the PY, my salesperson told me that the reason we had to actually order my car was that they already had 1 stolen from their gated back lot earlier that month and another broken into and stripped in their front yard the month before. When my first car was delivered they kept it inside the garage till I got there to pick it up and when I got my second R, they kept that one on the showroom floor locked because they were prepping a bunch of new cars in the garage.

The world is a sickening place and the Z does look good. Do we get to see it soon? I haven't yet obviously...
