Teacher's car stolen, tricked out, returned 3 years later
Excerpt:
More than three years after a Brooklyn teacher's
car was stolen, she finally got her ride back - totally pimped out.
Amanda Pogany's once-humble white 1996 Honda Accord
was returned to her drag-race ready, with a brand-new
V-8 engine, tinted windows, oversized tires with
special hubcaps - and custom valve stem caps shaped like bullet casings.
"When I first saw under the hood I thought it
looked like, you know in the movie 'Grease?' Like the 'Grease Lightning'
car,"
said Pogany, 31, who lives in Prospect Heights.
The eighth-grade teacher was shocked when she picked up her long-lost vehicle in the Red Hook impound lot this month.
The previous "owner" souped up the Accord, putting
in a manual transmission and leather interior and hanging
a Dominican flag and a giant wooden cross from
the rearview mirror.
I hope she got some cool dingleballs to go with
her new ride.
Random Thought:
Why steal an 11 year old car and put thousands
of dollars into it?
Is it because of Honda's renowned quality?
