Funny story, I ended up meeting and eventually hanging out with the previous owner of my prelude. Her information was left in the center console by accident. Her name was Wendy. She had a clique of friends that were all into racing and modifying Hondas/Acuras.

When she introduced me to them, she said "Hey guys this is Sean, he's the one that bought my old car". One of the guys said "Wendy, that's messed up." She responded like "What are you talking about?"

That right there was a red flag for me but I had already bought it so it was too late. Based on his subtle comments, I bet you they all took turns beating the piss out of that car when she first got it. I can only imagine what it went through.

Everyone was nice and I eneded up chilling with them for a couple years going to car shows, meets, racing illegaly but eventually parted ways.

I guess I should have known a little bit based on the fact the prelude has red underglow and a type R style spoiler on the back.

You just never know what happens before you get your hands on a used car.

I drove a 2002 V6 Mustang. It was a great car and served me well. May it have a long and pampered life ahead of it...

...in someone else's driveway. I'm on to that Blue Honda Fit EX M/T and not looking back!

I had a 2002 Honda CR-V that treated me pretty well. I purchased it in 2006. It finally needed new shocks and struts so I decided to opt for a new car. I received my '15 Blue EX CVT in mid July and love it. The CR-V did have a few items that I wish they had of kept in this little Fit (such as the extra storage compartments in the dash area, the storage net on the back of the driver's side as well as the passenger's side, and the nice folding table - although figured that wouldn't fit)... Really liking the much better gas mileage!

I don't even have the Fit yet, but I ordered one today. It's a MSM (modern steel metallic) EX-LN (leather and navi).

I'm coming from a '14 BRZ Limited, pretty modified. I did a ton of suspension work, tracked it before, CF lip kit, etc. It was a good looking ride, but it was beating me up for daily... considering I work 30-40 minutes outside of San Francisco, but live IN the city. Seemed like a good decision to get a Fit

My first car was a 1990 Honda CRX in polar white, I kept her for 8 years and regret selling it to this day. During that time I bought another 7 CRX's as parts cars & whatnot. I then acquired a free 2001 Toyota Prius from my grandparents passing away. Used that car for a year cause shit why not. Then it was time to get serious I sold the Prius and my beloved CRX so I could buy my current car a 2004 Honda S2000 is Gran Prix White. & now after winning a free fit she wil be added to the list of my white Hondas.

1990 Honda CRX $2600
2001 Toyota Prius $FREE from grandparents
2004 Honda S2000 $17,600
2015 Honda FIT $FREE from winning contest

I'd say I'm on a pretty good roll.
