as you can see,our civic was killed almost a month ago.an 87 year old lady cut across 2 lanes right in front of my girl,she tried to avoid the old lady but hit her,than went into the center divider.



broke both front wheels and 1 rotor,screwed up the steering and suspension.

after some wrangling with the insurance company,we got $3600 for the civic,up from the $2700 they were trying to give us.pretty good considering it was a salvage title,base DX.

got the check about a week and a half ago.after some looking around,here's what we found.

1992 Honda Prelude Si.160,000 miles.$3400,$3671 with taxes.auto tranny,very good black cloth interior,very good body and paint.all original,has good power,much more than the civic,160 HP vs.102HP in the civic.

here's some pic's i took at the lake yesterday

Glad to hear you are recovering quickly! Seemed like you were uncertain of the future there for a while. Now, just dont go throwing a fart can and body kit on it and youll be set! Preludes are one model of Honda that Ive liked quite a bit, just never ended up going that direction.

Good deal. I personally also like a nice clean stock look, but wheels and suspension never hurt. Gotta keep your girl ridin in style!

HOpe the car works out...$3400 for a 160k mile car that is 16 years old seams like a lot of cash.
