Hi everybody,
I am fairly new to this site usually I just lurk the threads looking at peoples cars, I guess I have decided to become more active on this site then say other integra based websites. One thing I have noticed is the Northwest thread is kinda dead which is too bad, but oh well.
I guess I will now introduce my car.
I got my car in February of 2008 after posting a WTB add on craigslist simply cause I was tired of looking at beat up integras driven by young kids. I got a response from a middle aged man selling his wife's bone stock GSR integra, the only mod was the ugly enkei dm5 wheels. It had 107,000 miles on it with all maintenance records kept.
I jumped on the opportunity and made an appointment to look at it and give it test drive. When I ended up meeting up with the owner I found out he actually works with my uncle, who was a well known police officer in the area, so after I got done test driving the car he went and talked to my dad while I checked out the interior, wrote down the vin etc...
Later that night I called him and made an offer of $5,500, well under what the rest of integras. Most ls's in the area were posted from anywhere from 3-5 in the area.
Well enough talk lets get to the goods!
This pic is from when I went and test drove it
I loved the car and washed it as soon as I got home.
My friend has a 94 civic dx that we liked to take pics of
Now are you ready for tragedy???
After owning my car a month...yes a whole month...I was merging onto I-5 South to go to work the from the highway 14 (I guess only locals know where I am talking about) when I looked over my shoulder to change lanes and make sure I was clear when the truck in front of me decided to stop. Well I rear-ended him. Pretty much the sadest day of my life, but I was ok, my airbags deployed and saved me from smacking my head on the steering wheel, well I called my dad right away and he called and got my a flatbed.

one at the scene
at the body shop it got towed to
