#2401 of 2482 Re: ASAP [nyccarguy] by hemanthh Sep 24, 2008 (6:07 pm)
Replying to: nyccarguy (Sep 24, 2008 5:53 pm) Thanks nycarguy!   I had to have the oil pan changed a month or so ago and that cost me som 500 bucks! Now this. So Im putting off the timing belt for another 5k unfortunately. Im trying to figure out if its time to sell. Mileage is low. Im a consultant and there are a few months in the year when I dont have to commute, so the mileage hasnt crept up.   I have some major body work that might cost me some 2k. I should probably do that and sell the car. It runs great, but things are catching up I guess

Replying to: shmang (Sep 24, 2008 5:29 pm) Thanks shmang!   I left the car for them to inspect today in fact and they called me back saying the lines need to be replaced due to leaks (5 of them). So I gave them the go ahead   Time to sell my lude I guess after 11 years, things are catching up.
#2403 of 2482 DOAH! by nyccarguy Sep 24, 2008 (6:56 pm)
I backed up into a Ford F150 Saturday morning before work. No damage to the big FX4 F150 pickup, but my Prelued has a nice dent in the rear bumper! Replies to this message: shmang (Sep 29, 2008 4:21 pm)

Replying to: nyccarguy (Sep 24, 2008 6:56 pm) Yeah. Those Honda bumpers are extremly weak - especially on the corners, top and bottom. They are basically a plastic cover with nothing underneath it to support it (there is a foamed impact bar in the middle). So, if anything hit the corner of the bumper, save your preyers.   Oh, well. I guess that is part of owning an elegant (sporty) car. I am considering "moving up" to a Cadillac now.

Oh well, it has a couple of nicks in it anyway. I'll get the bumper repainted for my Hanukah present.   Cadillac? You're getting rid of your prelude or your BMW? The CTS is a sweet looking ride. Especially with employee pricing you could get yourself one heckuva deal.
#2406 of 2482 Prelude is a keeper by shmang Oct 03, 2008 (10:42 am)
I am now considering getting a Cadillac - not sure which model yet. But, I am keeping my Prelude for sure - There is just too much connection between me and the Prelude - had lots of fun with it, travelled to a lot of places together, get myself noticed lots of times, plus, I took care of her by doing 90+% of maintenance and waxing etc. Financially, it does not make sense, emotionally, it is almost impossible to part with her for now. The Prelude is just like a long term partner that has really treated me well (And I took care of her as well).   Now, the hard part is: I need to get my wife's approval before I can invest on the Cadillac and I am working on that right now....
#2407 of 2482 I'm not supersticious, by nyccarguy Oct 11, 2008 (1:12 pm)
But I have heard that bad things come in 3s. First I back into an F-150 a few weeks ago. This afternoon after work I get out to my car and notice someone ripped the front and rear Honda emblems off my car as well as the 4 center caps from the wheels. It must have happened last night when I ran into Costco for 15 minutes
#2408 of 2482 Gas price is dropping... by shmang Oct 17, 2008 (6:13 pm)
and today I hit VTEC 3 times - have not done that for maybe 4-5 month. Man, does that feels good, chirpping tires in 2nd is a nice feeling. I am definitely keeping the Lude for a while.   It is amazing that a year after changed the timing belt, the engine still sounds louder (than before the change), although the whining sound is gone. Not sure if that is normal or not.

Replying to: stephen1348 (Nov 18, 2008 9:36 pm) I would like to help, but after reading your post 3 time, I can not understand what you were trying to say. It would be helpful if you can describe the issue clearly and proof read it so we can understand better.
