    Rest in Pieces

     Where do I begin?

    John’s Integra was something special. Not special as in it was the only Integra that had some special edition Acura black suede headliner or it was the only Integra with some gnarly fitment. Although his fitment was pretty on point. It was special because it had tons of sentimental value to it. It was someone’s first love, first art project, and first connection with something that wasn’t human. It was the reason for the close friends that were made today and it was the reason why you are reading this very post.

    Watching John’s car grow was very exciting from when it had some stupid sharpie designs on it’s hood to all the times it got hated on because it had crazy ass track aero but had a hella flush stance. The amount of laughs shared because how mad track enthusiast got will never be forgotten. Thank you John for creating a car that was in it’s own league of awesomeness.

    It’s sad to say that your car is not safe anywhere. If thieves want something they’ll get it. The number one target lately has been college students because of their predictable schedule. A thief would only need to stalk a potential victim for a day and hang out in the school parking lot to figure out how much time they had to hijack the car. John unfortunately was a victim on October 15th, 2013 at Orange Coast College.  His beloved Integra was stolen in broad daylight when he was in class. When we posted on our social media outlets that the car was stolen it turned viral extremely quick. Thousands of people from all over posted his car and we would like to thank all of you for helping us spread the word.

    With the good there always comes the bad and there were many haters out there talking shit and saying things like “insurance fraud”, “deserved to be stolen” and the classic “it’s just a honda”. Well, I’m here to say to you inconsiderate fuckers to shut the fuck up and get a life. You obviously have nothing going on for yourself that you need to kick someone that’s already down. If this is the kind of shit that gets you off or makes you feel better about having to suck dick for a cheeseburger then I suggest you get some serious help.

     Fuck boys like @oldboymax who assumed John was rich to just buy another Integra.

    The classic “its just a Honda”.

    With the evil there is always going to be the good hearted people.

     2 days after the car was stolen John gave up hope of ever finding his car. He was at the lowest point of his life.

    I wanted to help cheer up my good friend, but sometimes I don’t even know the right things to say. Luckily, hundreds of John’s newly acquired Instagram friends had the right words.

     A hundred and thirty seven comments and all offered hope for better days or praise for creating such an admirable car.  My faith in humanity was restored.

    It took three days for us to get back the car and it was not in the condition that we hoped that it would come back in. Thanks to Sloppy, Mark, Nico and to social media, we were able to find the shell by Dodger’s Stadium. It’s sad to say that it won’t be worth it to build the car back to what it was. John has moved on, but the memories of the confused race car will live on for eternity.

    In memory of the confused race car.. you will be missed.

    The night was so perfect. It wasn’t as windy as last year and there was not a single person who did a burnout at the meet. I would call it a successful meet. A big thank you to Chivas for helping get a spot for the meet and Findlay Fiat for providing the location! Shout out Fuku Burger, Oso Ono and 96.7 Jelli radio for coming out! Enough of the blabbering and let’s move on to the photos.

    Here was the following morning, as we made our way to our cars in the parking structure. A little sense of anxiousness rolled down my back. I haven’t seen my car since Friday night and it was always in the back of mind as I was getting plastered at the clubs. When I arrived to my car, everything looked like it was in good condition, and my car started up just fine with my favorite Taylor Swift song playing (I Knew You Were Trouble).  As I loaded up the car, I saw a Bellagio security talking to Shavi, who parked a couple of feet away from me. He then headed towards my car. For a second, I thought we were going to get in trouble for parking overnight there without staying at the hotel. He asked us, “Do you guys know the owner of a gold Honda? The car is missing window wipers, wheels, the steering wheel…thought you might know him because I saw the Slammed Society plate on the car.” At first I thought, “fuck, well…I don’t know anyone with a gold car and even if it was anybody I knew…most of us don’t run window wipers and I thought he was correcting himself when he said wheel and he meant to say steering wheel. If that was the case, most of us have detachable steering wheels as well. The security guard led us to the car and to my horror, it was Jeff’s RSX on 4 stock jacks and a regular jack.

    IMG_8994

    My heart stopped. I didn’t know what to do or say. I called Jeff immediately and I didn’t know how to say what I was about to say. The only thing I could utter was “you got jacked.”  I guess I said it like I was joking because everyone knows I’m the biggest troll in the group. I had to put it down on my life that I wasn’t lying. It was depressing to stare at the once beautiful RSX. I was supposed to feature it soon, too for fatlace. Sad to say, the police, again, were not of any help. They wouldn’t send anyone to come file a police report because it wasn’t over $40,000 worth of stolen/damaged property. The tow truck couldn’t make it into the parking structure, and Bellagio security did not give us any advice on what we should even do. We basically had to figure everything out for ourselves and thanks to Chivas, we were able to get it to a friend’s house. It’s already a fucked up world that there are low life thieves in the world. It’s an even more fucked up world when our government isn’t going to do anything about it. To the thieves, only God can judge you now. I hope where he sends you in the afterlife, an RSX is dropped on your body crushing every bone you have in your body and then someone takes your crushed bones and rams it up your asshole and you feel every excruciating part of it. This kind of stuff happens in hell. Have fun.

    I feel like this whole weekend was an ecstasy trip. There were moments when I thought I was at the happiest moments in my life with some of the best friends a person could ever have. We laughed, we drank,  we paid a stripper’s rent, we caught up with old friends, and made new memories with new friends. The comedown hit me so hard I didn’t even know if I could ever get out of this black hole. I’m sorry Jeff that this happened to you. You’re a great human being and you will get through this, better and stronger than before. Thank you to all the friends and family of Royal Origin who posted and gave us leads to the missing items.
