Acura Integra Type-R

Pictures aside, how do you like it so far?

How's the insurance for it? I imagine if it's frequently stolen and of course, a sports car, insurance is going to be a bitch.

^ It wouldn't really be classified as a sports car though, even if it sort of is. Insurance companies don't know much about cars, especially when it's a high-performance version of a regular car. All that would show up on their screen is that the car is a coupe with 195 hp and has a reasonably high theft rate while a lot of speeding and street racing tickets accumulate under its ownership.

The repo man got his car already.

i fucking love it! when i get on the interstate on the drive to work i end up getting up to 90mph without even know it. i was doing 100 on the way home yesterday and had no idea. i swear i'm going to get my first speeding ticket in 5 years in this car

i honestly have no idea. i didn't even ask lol i really don't want to know but i do have to have full coverage on it since technically my bank owns the car lol. my rates should go down soon since i turn 25 in april and i haven't had any tickets in a few years.

Haha, speed is addictive. But luckily on cars like the ITR, its speed can be exploited through the curves as well, and you usually don't get tickets for that. So while Mustang GT drivers (as an example) might be able to do easy burnouts or pull hard from a roll even from lower rpms while risking catching attention and citations from law enforcement officers, you can have a little fun (granted you do so wisely and safely) through onramps, tight turns, etc. Cops post up under freeway overpasses and side streets waiting for idiot speeders to pass by at well above the speed limit, but they're never pulled over at the apex of a turn waiting for a guy in a good-handling car to whoosh around the corner. Unless you're doing an all-out drift, there's a very small chance of you getting ticketed. Plus you don't need to be doing 80+ mph to feel the speed when going left and right.

I know what you mean. It rained yesterday and I figured the rain was over for a while, so I took my car out (it's garaged) for the first time since washing it last week, but then it started drizzling Luckily since the car isn't dirty at all, it still looks fine (though there will probably be some dry water droplets on it), but at least I didn't spend time waxing it this time like I usually do.

you can't see it in the pic, but the one of the arm rest has a number on it that says 1279

I don't like the headlights. Normal ones looked better. And I'd take the Type-R badging off.

Colour is kickass.
