Default Another R almost got stolen last night in LA... :(

It's not my but a good friend and he's also on this board. It's a 2000 FBP. They popped the hood and d/c the battery. They weren't able to take it because they can't get the autolock off "just yet". Messed up the clutch pedal pretty bad at the same time. Looks like black ITR are starting to become an easy target too. Don't leave your car on the driveway at night people...

Had a blue SI turn around and start following me last night, but I had no where to go, so instead of going home I jumped on the turnpike and started going south... about 20 miles later he exited. And I have a black R with no wing and no stickers. I guess I need to get my spoon calipers painted black again (The fawking guy that washed my car used a pressure cleaner and "cleaned" all my black paint off).

If I find an 850 T5R in good shape for the right money, #9 might have to get sold

All kinds of trouble caused this afternoon by the simple fact that Beth's Tore-*** needs brakes and I can't drive my R to Greensboro (she lives across the street from Safa)...


Pat, who is getting tired of being paranoid

hehe, pressure sprayer is actually good to clean cars with? Wouldn't it hurt the paint? I thought about buying one from Sears but was worry about the paint.

Yes, black R's are becoming more susceptible to theifs. Is it because all the Champ Wht and PY are pretty much gone??

My friend's FBP does not have sticker either (all 3) but he has the stock wing.

I will put a sunroof on my soon..

They only presure cleaned the rims, i guess cause they were lazy. I usualy wash the car myself, but the dealer ship got over spray all over my car while it was getting a new motor. So they dealer ship had some company come in and completely detail the car. It'll only take me like 5 min's to spray them again.. i'm just lazy and don't have a floor jack so it takes me like 10 minutes just to jack the car up with the oem jack.

Hey AssPenny, a word of advice, find out where the nearest police station is to your house so if you are followed drive it there. The theives will most likely drive away.

Sorry to have said it but ITR owners are on borrowed time. Once thieves know it's an ITR they'll keep trying
