Timeline of the death of Black SHEEP - Honda Prelude Forum

BluePrelude84 · 12-26-2007, 03:19 PM

Hello all. As many of you might know already back in August 17, 2007 the life of my Prelude ended due to an aggressive truck driver on the NJ Turnpike. This thread is basically a timeline to document from the beginning to the end. I am not very good with words so I will let the pictures tell the story.

Back in 2003

2004 waiting for make over

And then the JDM and Mugen whoring started

The finished transformation

Then in 2006 I was featured on TeamElusive.com

By the end of 2006 decided to change it up a bit

And by April of 2007 it came true and my car was printed in HCI Magazine

The last couple shows I did in 2007

Finally this is what happens when a SEMI hits you on the highway!

It's always a shame to see something destroyed that you've put so much time, effort, and cash into.

blklude98 · 12-26-2007, 04:13 PM

I met you RIGHT before your swapped out your APEX (NOT APEX'i) springs for the showa's. =) YOU forgot one stage though....WHERE ARE THE ALTEZZAS?!?!?! =)

GOOD STUFF man....it will be MISSED. At least your prelude and mine can hang out in prelude heaven together

I gotta say that when I read that you had been involved in the crash I wanted to see how the car wound up. But after seeing all that I really wish I hadn't. You took what already was a really hot car and turned it into that beastly looking thing that typified why I think the Prelude is such a good looking car, with so much potential. Unfortunatly though it happens. Such a shame to waste that example though.

u can tell a lot of TLC went into that car. I personally know first hand that car was babied and he is a true prelude enthusiast. He'd drive it even on rainy weather to come to a prelude gathering.

Lovin' the new look before it was taken out =( That truck really did a number on ur car! Looks like the only good part was ur drivers door.

Hope to see ya at some shows/meets wit a new ride =D

Once again sorry for the loss.

I am glad though I was able to pick up a few of your parts from it. So to the rest of you out there, help the guy out and buy his parts.

Great condition and fast shipping. What more could ya ask for?

deeznutts05 · 12-27-2007, 01:01 AM

Sorry to hear that....

BluePrelude84 · 12-27-2007, 06:16 AM

Thanks everyone for you kind words.

lude4lifeh22 · 12-27-2007, 09:20 AM

Did you tell the truck driver he destroyed a magazine car?

What a shame. It makes me nervous all the time being on the road. Were you covered at all on the expensive parts?

blackoutlude · 12-27-2007, 10:02 AM

sorry about the loss man..... its a real shame to see such a beauty go down like that.. are you gonna restore her?

chuitron · 12-27-2007, 06:15 PM

Your car will be missed; one of the best preludes I had ever seen. Do you plan on owning another prelude someday?

+1

what a god damn shame

number80 · 12-28-2007, 07:06 PM

A lot of times I see prelude in the magazines they're all riced out with lambos and neons. Your car represented the prelude community well too bad it got hit. Why couldn't the riced out preludes be the one to get hit

natcc99 · 12-29-2007, 02:04 AM

At first, I saw the driver side and told myself that it wasn't too bad.
But then I saw the passenger side.....eek

Sorry for your lost of a beautiful show car....BUT at least it was a driven show car and not a trailer queen. It died on the road like an honored solider in battle.

Have fun on your new project (whatever it may be) and please keep us updated.

JDLUDE99!! · 12-30-2007, 11:43 PM

Damn Andy sad to see it go! I loved this car! I was lucky enough to see it in person at HIN and at the KOP meet.

OvaDaLimiT · 12-31-2007, 03:35 AM

*gasp!*

Yuck. Boo to the truck driver!

BluePrelude84 · 01-08-2008, 10:52 AM

Now I just learned that the truck wasn't insurance at the time of accident. WTF!

5hift · 01-09-2008, 01:16 AM

Is it only me and Keith left?
