Here's a scary problem. I have a 99 Prelude, manual. A few times so far, while driving the car simply turns off as if I turned the ignition to off. This has even happened on the freeway going 70mph. I turn the key and I hear what sounds like ths starter grinding. After a few tries it starts again and won't happen for a while. Any idea what's up?

Check with your local Honda dealer. They are having recall on 97-01 Prelude about bad ignition switch. Basically it would do like what happened to you, turn off while driving, idle.... They should fix it for free.
