I was washing my accord one day, and my neighbor who owned the Prelude was walking by one day and told me "Hey Nick, we're selling our Prelude in case you or any of your friends are interested." After talking to the rentals, they agreed, and $7,000 later, she was in my driveway next to the gold accord. The car had about 75,000 miles on it and was mostly old lady driven!
This car is/was my daily driver + weekend racer where I frequented Englishtown and Island raceways for drag racing and autocrossing. So considering how much I beat on this thing, I shouldn't be too surprised that I cracked the crankshaft.
I've been thru thick and thin with this car, between sliding on ice into a guardrail and messing the entire drivers' side up, or sliding on ice into a curb and messing up the SE rim + LCA, or cracking my crankshaft, I will forever love my Prelude, and NO one can take that away from me!!!
