New Here, Thought I'd Say Hi.
Greetings, ITR forum. My name is Bill, and I am the proud owner of 01-569, a NHBP beauty I call CatheRine. Here are some pics of her:
I live in the MD/VA area, so what better place to buy her than SoCal? It was one hell of a road trip, one that I had to make by myself, due to my buddy backing out at the last minute. There were some interesting things going on with the trip that had to do with Red Bull, IHOP, and a hallucination of a lady riding a bike down the highway with what appeared to be a dog on the back. Suffice it to say, I will NEVER again drive that far, for that long, alone.
I've been a member on TI for almost a year now, and have frequented HT quite a bit. So, to get a few things out of the way:
1. She is garaged. I made sure I had one lined up at my apt. complex before I ever even bought her.
2. I have a beater. It is a 98 LS. Before you envy me for having two relatively new integras, make my montly car/insurance payments. I hemmorage cash for the cars I love.
3. There are no plans for things like altezzas, body kits, or decals that say "vtech". I may, however, get my plates to say VTAK, only because it makes me laugh.
4. I do not street race. Does that mean I haven't taken her up to 120+ on public roads? Hell no.
Hope to see some of you at the Expo in July. Peace.

Welcome to the party. Nice car. That color was not available up here in Canada so it's always nice to see one. Keep her safe. Type-R's are a heavy target.

Re: New Here, Thought I'd Say Hi. (brautzen)
I like this guy.
one of the smartest things to do when thinking about getting an R, "1. She is garaged. I made sure I had one lined up at my apt. complex before I ever even bought her. "
Welcome to the ITRCA opps I mean H-T
any way while on that note, check out ITRCA and list your lady up.
enjoy her and keep it safe

Welcome and I like your introduction. Nice pics and BTW I'm so jeolous because you got to drive cross county seeing this beautiful country while getting acclimated to one of the funnest FF cars money can buy for under 25K (hell 45K!).
Welcome again,
Matt (< who wants to drive coast to coast and back but can't b/c that chronic dilemma called work)

Yeah, his avatar makes me laugh. Uncomfortably, but laugh nonetheless.
Thanks for the welcome, guys. Can't wait for the Expo. I paid back when it was at Summit, and while that is closer, I don't mind the drive. I'll just take Friday off and go nuts.
