Newbie...
Hi, Im new to this site. Been on PreludePower for some time, but just found this site.

I am the proud owner of a 1988 4WS Honda Prelude, White w/ 105,000 original miles; in great shape!

I also own a 1989 4WS Honda Prelude, White w/ 21,000 (original miles), all stock; like new!

I fell in love with the Prelude when I purchased my first one new in 1981. It was red. Then, I traded it in for a red 1985. In 1989, i purchased a white 4WS. In 2001, i traded it in for a jeep. BIG mistake. I regretted it from the moment I drove off the lot. So, in early 2008, I began my search for a 1989 Prelude like the one I traded. In February, I found the 88 in PA, rented a car to drive up and drove the 88 650 miles back to KY.

Then, in August I was introduced to the 1989 with 21,000 original miles. Couldn't resist purchasing it. Now, I have two.

I probably paid more than most would for a 20 year old car, but I'm one that can't fix-it-up. So, I would rather pay for one in great shape as to buy one that needs a lot of work that I can't do.

I'll try to post pictures soon.

So who drove the rental back to KY?

It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road.

Just to clarify, I am not a stud. The name is Linda. Smile

Thanks for looking at the pics. When the weather breaks, I hope to do a photo shoot with both of them together. The only thing the 89 needs is the clock cover replaced. Got it, just need to get it installed.

I also have the armrest console to install in each.
