I can't believe what's happening to me

After years of driving and racing BMWs I ventured out of my comfort zone two years ago and bought an AW11 MR2.

Fast forward to today and Im selling the MR2 as I need something a bit more durable to handle the rigors of daily driving in Philadelphia and I have found myself going where I never would have. Im stepping out of my rear wheel drive fantasyland and into the unknowns of front wheel drive.

Even worse than that Im committing Internet suicide by joining the illustrious VTEC crowd.............. yo. Now, the car isnt technically mine yet but by this weekend all the particulars should be worked out and I will be the proud? scared? stupid? all of the above? owner of a soon to be stolen 1998 Acura Integra GS-R.

Now, I know this looks like the world’s cleanest Integra but its not. Theres a fair amount of scratches and dents covering the car but overall its straight and solid. It also might look like the only stock Integra left as well but alas, its not that either. The soon to be previous owner told me he used to drag race the car every once and a while so he’s got a short ram intake, a 4 to 1 header, some different fuel rail, an exhaust, springs, braided steel brake lines, and a bunch of other things but most importantly to me, the LSD out of an Integra Type R. After driving the car I fell absolutely in love with everything about it. The owner is also a great guy who knows exactly what he’s doing to build a car and pays crazy amounts of attention to even the smallest details. I still can’t believe its happening. PICTURE DUMP.

I’m disappointed; I thought you were replacing the MR2 with a horse...

That Integra looks very clean.

I actually do have a horse that I used to ride around town before I got my license (and prior to moving to Philly for school) but the Integra is stupidly clean, all things considered.

You know what’s great about that car? It’s been modded to go fast, not to look fast. It’s tidy, no bullshit, and probably super reliable. Enjoy it.

Exactly, talking to the owner he basically said he wanted the car to be quicker but didnt want to draw any attention to it

I’ve got a soft spot for those Integras, at least the Type Rs, but that one with it’s upgrades looks quite formidable. Very awesome.

The best looking GSR I’ve seen since highschool/’03. Coming up loving cars in that time you can’t help but admire these.

I was always wanted the experience living with the legend of the times while being such a geat all-arounder in style, performance and daily driving comfort.

Just picture myself driving everywhere and doing everythings with no issues and loving it. *sigh*
