Guess what i bought today?

(red one)

Its a 1993 Imported JDM Prelude Vtec 5spd 4WS
about 22000 miles on the whole car!
I bought it for $6800 and yes it needs some work, but it will be my perfect car. MINE not someone elses before me. MINE! I am so excited! Here are a few more pics. sorry if they are blurry, i was way too excited!

Now I just have to get back in the habbit of driving 5spd. heh

Ok so tell me what you think. I have a lot of plans for this:
* New Paint Job - Should i stay with the red or go the color of my other car?
* Body Kit
* 17" Wheels
* Red interior and undercar lights.
* CF Hood

Thats just a few.

Very nice Qveon, I would be amazed if I saw a lude with a rear wiper in person.. I hope you take someone along with you when you go to drive-thru fast food places.

hahahahaha

This reminds me of an article I was reading in Sport Compact mag once where this guy with a Skyline R34 got pulled over by some hick Texas State Trooper. So the guy pulls over on the side of the right lane of course, and the officer proceeds to the left side of the car. The owner of the Skyline rolls down his window to see the officer lean into the car and say "Son, what inna hell you doin' on the passenger's side of the car?"

From what I remember according to the article he was clocked going about 180mph.

lmao.. yeah it's like that. Though i've never been pulled over in it.. when you're sitting in the left lane and pull up next to someone in the right lane they start giving you some very confused looks.. it's sweet.
