      Well actually I don’t have it yet. And I may not ever have it. HOWEVER, after much cajoling and negotiating from me, the SmobDad has traded money for the title to @interstate366 ’91 Prelude with the hope of returning Lucky to the roads.

      If all works out perfectly, I’ll end up with the car. If things go less perfectly, Dad ends up with the car and sells something else to appease his wife.

      While he was feeling cheerful about all this I asked him to keep me posted when he wants to get rid of my Z to clear some space in his garage. He said that it was actually running fairly recently so maybe I’ll use that as leverage if he keeps the Prelude.

          Man does this take me back. Early '90s, we were a bit of a Honda family. My sister had a '91 Prelude Si, another sister had a '92 Integra Sedan, and I had a '85 CRX Si. All three cars were really, really fun. (Edit: and yet another sister had a '90 Accord, manual)

          The only one of the three that did not get totaled was the Prelude. I was rear ended in the CRX, and replaced it with a '90 CRX Si. The Integra was t-boned at a red-light, and was replaced with a '95 Vigor (nice car!). The Prelude was unceremoniously dumped for a manual transmission 2 door Explorer.

          Congrats! I really like it!

              Pre-visit photo. Mr. Coal was in the house during the visit because he can be, uh, overly friendly with people who are in his yard.

                @interstate366 I had no idea you were selling this. We need to add a classified section to this site.

                    @nth256 yeah, I’d posted on Kinja that I was preparing to sell it a month or so ago, and @smobgirl was interested enough (and had family local enough) to work out a deal.

                      Nice Prelude! Is it a 4WS model?

                        @civicwagonengineer it is not. It has ABS (called ALB at the time), and in the US it was one or the other. Canada and Japan could have both for some reason.

                          @interstate366 I think 4WS are very rare in NA. No?

                                  Was 4ws available on this generation? I thought it came on the next gen.

                                    @smobgirl Nice ride! Many years ago I had a lowered accord exi coupe that looked almost identical. was a great car.

                                      Seriously jealous. I don't think there was a bad Honda in the late 80's. I had an 85 Prelude that I loved and stupidly got rid of for a Chevy Beretta that caught fire two days after I bought it.

                                            @ibrad 90/91 had 4WS so it was available in 3rd gen cars.

                                              @smobgirl Well, it was a minor fire that I put out quickly, but it makes a good story. Not good when the center console starts smoking and flaming 🤣
