The prelude curse has taken another lude- - Honda Prelude Forum

This is the reason why I am now looking for an S2000. I've learned so much from this car and it has NEVER let me down in any way, shape, or form. That is why am I so heartbroken and pissed than inattentive Ford Focus basically plowed into me on the freeway. The car did its job and the crumple zones worked, I wasn't hurt to bad. I will miss this car soooo much its ridiculous. All I had left to do was put on rims, Advan Kreuzers V, which shipped from Japan a week ago.

98 Pearl White Type SH-
Day I got her in 2003-

Final Mod list-

Mugen Exhaust
Mugen Suspension
Type-S Strut Bar
Type-S Intake w/ K&N
Type-S CF gauge bezel
Type-S Red Door Courtesy Lights
Type-S Grill w/ emblem
Type-S/ JDM fog lights (extra PIAA H3C bulbs)
TSX retrofit with Philips ballasts and OEM acura bulbs
Honda Optional Upgraded Speakers (plug and play)
OEM Pearl white lip kit
OEM 99+ Hepa/Interior air filters- moded
OEM CF interior kit (new in box)
OEM Cargo net (new in box)
OEM floormats (checkerboard pattern- new unused set)
OEM 1/2 Bra
Years of loving, claying, and waxing.- priceless.

At her peak-

The demise- doesn't look too bad but the frame was pretty tweaked and I know it would never be the same.

Wish me luck on finding an S2000 thats in even half as good condition as my prelude. She'll be missed. Oh and part out thread in a day or two- all aftermarket/jdm stuff but all the OEM stuff will stay with the car.

damn! so sorry about your lude. it looked so nice. those rims would have looked sweet. what size did you buy and color?

lude4lifeh22 · 03-08-2008, 12:47 PM

ugh, i hate other drivers. What a shame. Sorry about your loss man.

Tola · 03-08-2008, 03:38 PM

Sorry to see that. How did it happen? How hard were you hit?

btw - I think your understand of the Prelude curse is a bit off. It applies to girls, not to Preludes.

lol, really- i remember people using it when they crashed their ludes.

chuitron · 03-08-2008, 04:59 PM

Wow man.. sorry to hear about the car. The Kreuzers would have finished it off perfectly.

i think the lude is cursed in general, girls, accidents, whatever...

omg... "car murder"

sorry to hear for your loss. if anything get your S2000 dream car and enjoy it. if u stumble on 7 grand, just buy another prelude and make it a project car! best of luck buddy.

Thats pretty sad

Jacques · 03-14-2008, 09:00 AM

That's sad.

Well, if you get an s2000, I'd be even more careful with that car...there's just as much potential (if not more) for some moron driver to hit you.

hamadiscool · 03-14-2008, 02:08 PM

That was such a nice lude and tastefully modded too

! Those mugen coilovers are very rare.

Good luck with the part out and the s2k!
