Default the prelude is gone but, got another car...still in the HONDA family :)

So my car was sandwitched on the exit lane due to an unattentive driver plowing into me from the back....this was back in December....after 6 months i was finally able to get money from her (she didn't have any insurance)...didn't really get much, just barely the cost of the car, but not having to pay for gas and insurance for 6 months saves you alot of money! Anyway, i got an 04 Accord coupe V6 6speed, w/Navi... its got ALOT of miles, 98,000 but it runs perfect! I bought the car just as it is in the pics with: Neuspeed sport springs, Injen intake, lighter underdrive pully, and 18/7.5 wheels...

i only had liability, so my insurance was useless...i sold the prelude as-is for $2500 to someone who wanted the swap.

accord looks good though.

sorry about your luck man.

Hows an accord drive anyway? I've only driven 4 cylinder 4 door family versions

the 6-speed v6 is nasty. especially the 08. will do 0-60 in close to 5 seconds.

The accord is a dream!!! i think the prelude is much more of a sports car, because you get a better feel for the road, and the steering is closer ratio...The accord is a BEAST, toque steer everywhere!!! even with the traction control turned ON... handling i think is more capable than the prelude, but i feel disconnected from the road, there's little feedback from the steering wheel....i guess its a good compromise between luxury and sport...The best part of it is that i still get around 24-26 MPG with mixed driving, just like the prelude!!!
