What can I say, this car is a culmination of blood, sweat, and tears over the past 4 years. I guess you could say I stumbled upon this Prelude on accident, as it was not my first, or second choice for a car when I was looking to buy one, back in November 09'.
I was driving my 1995 Honda Accord V6 at the time, and owned two previous Accords before the current. I had found a buyer for it on Craigslist, a police officer and his son. At the same time I had located a new vehicle, an Acura RSX. After meeting with the owner of the RSX and "sealing the deal" to purchase the following day, I went home happy for the next day.
Morning came, I sold my Accord to the officer and his son. Shortly after, I try to make contact with the RSX owner as planned and he never picks his phone up. The search for a car continues, now without me currently owning one anymore.
Later that week, I purchased a 1999 Civic Si..perfect condition and a one owner older lady! Only to find out she had the original title to the car from 1999 and couldn't get an updated one anytime soon. Long story short, had to return the car back to her, and when I showed up to her house she had one foot in a U-Haul truck ready to move out!
Two weeks later, and two weeks of riding my bike to work, I found this beautiful Prelude at a local dealership. I've done a lot to it, she has been a labor of love for 4 years. I've had fun doing things to the car, and appreciate the good times it has brought to far. I'm currently selling a lot of parts off of the vehicle, to get a second shot at college.
