I assume that you are screwed on your aftermarket parts right ? Usually insurance doesn't pay for those. Sorry to hear about your theft. Damn car thieves. May they all burn in hell.

okay you're making it way too dramatic

I understand there is some sentimental values to your old integra that your brother has been driving, but.... its just a car

calling your car sweetie, writing a poem about your past experience with your raw..... :/ idk its weird

you have a better car now so just enjoy it. i'm sure you'll get over it very quickly

I'm only 22. so for me, I grew up with that car. To me, it's more than "just a car". And it holds alot more than just "some" sentimental value.

I almosted died in that car. I've had famous people in that car. I had my first race track event in that car. I had my first loss and my first win in that car. I went to the street races for the first time in that car, an event that would change my life forever.

Perhaps you have 2 S2000's, a Porshe Boxer and a Cadillac Escalade for the kids. Perhaps you're the type to "pay" people to modify your car. So if something were to go wrong, you can just "buy another" or put the blame on someone else. For me, it's more complex than that. Although you cannot tell form the outside, I put alot of blood, sweat and tears into that Integra. Sure it's looks stock but that was the point. I used it to street race. What you don't see, is the Brand new 2001 motor, the 2001 Integra Type R front end, the JDM Integra Type R transmision, the complte re-done interior, the Custom Silver/Baby Blue paint, and countless hours tuning and dynoing.

When your 16, and work 30 hours a week at a slop house of a fast food restraunt plus go to school just to save up to have the car you always wanted, it means much more to you than "just a car" Ballers and rich kids wouldn't understand.

It amazes me that some people are so closeminded when it comes to things like this....I feel nothing but pity for those who can't grasp the concept of emotional attachment, whether it's with something animate or inanimate....

Damn bro, I feel your pain....I also went from an Integra (my very first hard-earned car) to the S2K....As you have with yours, I had tons of memories with my Teg, which in turn made me grow attached to it....I later sold the Teg to my brother in-law, who in turn ended up wrecking it within a few months
