I’ve enjoyed your GT-R pieces. An R32 Skyline is at the top of my short list for my next car. I’m leaning more towards a GTS-T, though.

Here we go with the Virginia bashing again...

My best friend lives in Waynesboro. Even before that I’ve found plenty of hoonable-looking roads on maps, but haven’t been out to them yet. Route 810 in Albemarle and Greene counties looks particularly fun.

Even though the state is a running joke here, Virginia has fun driving roads all over the place. Many of them are quite narrow, though.

Hopefully they didn’t resist arrest. (I admit, that one is a stretch)

Nighthawk Black Pearl (bluish black) because it’s an awesome, understated color. While it’s called a shade of black by name , the paint code is B92P, which, in Honda lingo, is blue. It has a a blue metal flake to it.

Every time I see “mood room” I read it in Clarkson’s voice.

My best friend test drove a 2015 Accord Sport and a 2015 6 back to back earlier this year. I rode in both and we agreed the 6 was just better overall.

When I drive my car on back roads it’s sort of like a more cautious, less illegal version of Initial D.

The transmission is doing fairly well, considering it has 166,000 miles on it. The 2-3 syncro occasionally grinds if I shift too fast, and after the engine swap I had to replace the seal on the passenger’s side where the driveshaft goes into the transmission. Other than that it does well. The engine swap was somewhat…

Mine is one of the last ones ever made, built in September 2001. It has some mods, the biggest of which is an H23A VTEC motor from a JDM 1999 Accord wagon. Same alleged peak power, but a significantly better torque curve. It’s a blast.

This. I didn’t think my 5th gen handled all that well, but after driving my brother’s contemporary Civic on a back road the other day I will never complain about Prelude handling again!

Definitely agree. Ford and Mazda are my favorites right now. The only current Nissan that interests me is the 370Z.

Little to none. My formative automotive years were all with Honda, but nothing they’ve made since the S2000 was discontinued has interested me (I was interested in the 8th gen Civic Si, but that was the most disappointing car I’ve ever driven). I like what Ford and Mazda are doing right now, and there are a few…

In my less mechanically inclined days I sold my wrecked-in-the-rear-quarter-panel 1995 Honda Prelude on Craigslist. After a few weeks of lowballers I finally sold it to someone who was going to use the front end to restore another one. I had a Carfax to go along with the car, saying that there were no accidents other…

My post was originally going to question why these kids see being ticketed as a badge of honor when that money could go toward other things, but then I remembered most of them are sponsored by mommy and daddy.

I’ve been reading that very book. It’s been a great read so far.

Here in Virginia it’s 25 years, with the usual restrictions for driving it, although there’s no set mileage limit to my knowledge and there’s an allowance for “occasional pleasure driving” within 250 miles. Next year my survivor black-on-tan 1991 Prelude gets antique plates. For now it lives a easy life in my garage.

The wheels and exhaust ruin it for me. CP

Congrats to Scott. And hi to my family at home.
