Thats my $.02.

i wouldn't mind it as much if
1. i had a job (been laid off for like 4 months )
2. if i could go for more than 4 days without a new cel.

From the day i bought this car there have been issues.
cel came on about a month after i first got it, and has been on/off since



i'll see if the post office will ship my car to you

I also didn't mod my car. The most it had was an intake and an axleback exhaust. These two combos should not throw a CEL. Anyways... I got more girls in My Toyota Corolla DX then the prelude ever. I hate you PRELUDE!

If my lude didn't burn a quart of oil every 1000 miles, I'd keep it til it fell apart. But that's the only complaint I have.

I miss my Prelude, although mine burnt more than 2 quarts of oil every 3000 miles.

Having 2 5th Gen's is fun... until you realize they both have non-commuter friendly gas mileage [at least compared to a Civic or something]

Though my next 2nd car will be a Civic or something to commute in...
