A caddy CTS owner at a gas station came over towards me (he was the manager I guess) and asked me what kind of honda I had. I replied, "Prelude", and he looked very surprised. He said he hasn't seen a prelude in a long time, and that it looked brand new. hehe..

i had someone ask me how i had a Type-SH that wasnt DOCH VTEC. I told him 'its very simple. you pull up the bottom-right corner of the sticker and pull left. now im sohc non-vtec.' vtec is what its about i guess. I heard that you can do a twin vtec setup with a hks blowoff valve that will cause BOTH your floor boards to fall out from to much nitrous.
we got an auto hobby shop here on base. i brought my car in to change the oil n stuff to get ready for my trip to maine n i got at least 12 compliments on it! it was great. people were just walkin over to see the engine once i had the hood open. i love it
i love my lude, but in cali they aint too rare so that sucks.....but today a friend of mine (EBP 5th) and I (Black 5th) took a little cruise around our college and then to McDonalds for lunch and we caught hella people looking......while we were eating inside of McD's 3 construction workers walked by our cars and they were all breaking their knecks looking back at our cars as they walked past them.....I felt so proud :]
you get twice the attention when you have another lude with ya...

Originally posted by GroverzVTEC Best part is when you are OUT of your own car, and someone drives it by to pick you up. Realize how bad-azz your car looks all over again when you watch someone else drive it

The only time someone else has driven my car was when I first got it, an my dad drove it for a couple of minutes w/ my mom in it. No one else has driven it since...not even my younger brother I need to let him drive it so that I can see/hear it go
Originally posted by Mr Ludecrs I do get some looks on the freeway especially from young kids in Civics . Once I have some rims, I'm sure I'll get more compliments.
I love all generations of Preludes, but 5th gens are my fav. (I'm obviously biased!)
I need to get rims too....I'm sure that you're right....once you have new rims on then it'll complete the basic look for most people an they'll be lookin more
Originally posted by acb45 yup, there are alot of people out there who give compliments to our ludes....in fact there are also people who you can see turn their heads over to see our unique styling ludes...!
next time when you drive, notice the people who are driving on the other side of the road...you'll be suprised how many people turn their heads over....
yeah, I notice that too....I always see people goin the other way an you can see thier head just focus on it as they drive by....it's really good when you can see their shoulders move....that's when they can't take their eyes off
Simple if you go to O/T check out the name thread , thats why Jeremy were posting our names on our sigs now, to make it easier for others to know who you are.
Originally posted by SLICK96 The coolest part for me is when I drop it off to get anything done at a Honda dealership, and when they have those indoor car bays. The door opens up, and you pull in, w/ a nice, DEEP exhaust tone, and a car that any detailer would be proud of. When you roll in to a stop, everybody's eyes are on you, and your LUDE. The next best part is when the service is done, and the tech pulls it back through the car bay... everybody stops and admires again. Then, the tech says, "Damn, that's a nice Prelude, son!" That's my favorite scenario I've experienced in the Lude... people just sittin' & admiring.

yeah....the last time i took my lude to the honda dealership; well, everyone was eyeballing it and telling me how nice it looked and stuff, then i handed my keys over to some greaseball who promptly took it behind the building. the next day i get a call telling me that my car is now propped up on 2 old car batteries and, where there were once wheels are now just open spaces, where there was an exhaust is now an open header, and where there was an aem intake was, well, not an intake.....besides rummaging through my interior and stealing my valentine one! bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They better had paid for that! Or did you have to go through insurance. Tell me you got something extra out of that deal, Thats Rough!

i love getting looks in the Lude, and they are pretty rare around here, especially 5th gens. I pulled into a gas station just last night and these highschoolers were all huddled around some dudes 80's Olds Cutlass and i came rolling in. Needless to say, i got the gawking from all the little girlies.
I thought to myself...playa please..im the macaroni wit the cheese
