roughly 60k miles..lowered, Tanabe Medallion, WW2 lip, everything else stock..
damn NOVA thieves...

OUCH! That's why I stopped driving mine to DC. Too risky!! What # was it? Sad to see another 97 go! And there weren't too many 97's in the area.

Thanks,
Victor

Does this guy live in NOVA and work somewhere on Rt.7? I think I know which car you are talking about. If so, that sucks man. Well, it sucks either way I guess. Sorry, I know how it feels. Been there, done that.

Was it outside of Acropolis near DuPont circle?

I used to see that car all the time, right outside of there. That really sucks, it was a pristine car.

so far we've learned we can't take it to: the club, the mall, outside your own home, your friend's house, the movies, the grocery store, etc... it shouldn't be common sense to not drive your car..

sorry for the brief hijacking of the thread.. i'm sorry for your friend's R getting jacked, especially since mine makes it into DC fairly regularly..

my friends 97 itr got stolen back in 97 about 4 months after purchasing his car.

it's just unbelievably remarkable how easy it is to steal an integra without immobilizers. anyone with a screwdriver and 20 seconds can do it. just sucks ***.

Well, it's the first year for the US production. And less than 500 were made.... All TYPE-R's are special. It would just suck to see the 1st year dissapear since there wasn't that many to begin with.

Thanks,
Victor

I also used to always see a '97 ITR parked on the street around DuPont circle. It sucks that whenever you go out and park on the street you have to worry about thieves.

I drive through pot holes every day as well since i live in dc...but i could careless, I've got enough wheels / tires sittin around. Plus, its the winter and I could give two ***** about what happens to my car, apprearance wise, during this time.

Sucks about the 97...I'll be on the lookout, as always, for cheap integra parts.
