Teacher's Accord Stolen 3 Years Ago, Found - Now With ITR/5-Speed Swap!

Brooklyn Woman Finds Stolen Car Completely "Pimped Out" -- WPIX

Quote:

Here's a video relating the story of a New York teacher who had her 1996 Honda Accord stolen 3 years ago. Obviously, she never expected to get the car back. It turns out that when a car IS stolen (even in Brooklyn), the man is on the case. A little while back, the Accord was found in a chop shop in Queens with the VIN filed off. Luckily, the police still managed to track the car back to its original owner.

When the woman got it back, the Honda had been updated with a VTEC powertrain and its transmission was converted over to a stick shift!

I would pay to see the look on her face when she gets her first couple of ricer flybys. Surely there is a fart can and some stickers on there somewhere.

This will probably result in a new reality TV show being pitched to A&E or Discovery Channel. "Steal my Ride" or "Uniquely Ganked Whips" Etc. Etc. Etc.

Well yeah Chris, but on Overhaulin they weren't stealing them FOR REAL! On Steal My Ride you would have a one in ten thousand chance of getting your car back at all, let alone tricked out. And you wouldn't be a clueless, new Mommy who can't drive stick either. LOL Can you see that lady giving the thumbs up and grinning at the camera "I'm Denice and I've just been Overhauled!!"
