Being a Honda Prelude owner I am cruising through THE main Prelude board this evening. But I am a traitor! I secretly drove a 911 SC this evening, with the intention of getting one or a Carrera as a 2nd car. And it was everything I hoped it would be, even the annoyances were somewhat endearing. I divulge my secret to my Prelude compatriots, quite enthusiastic about the whole experience, and I right away get "ugh, I hate older porshe's." What the... but...?? The Prelude used to be the Honda that was classy and racy at the same time, so I was rather disappointed with the reaction. Then I suddenly remembered- several of the more experienced people who continue to post on this site NO LONGER OWN Preludes, and only continue to post as a public service to try to keep Preludes from being lowered more than 1 1/2". And the ones who still own Preludes only post on the autocrossing board or goof off in OT. IS THIS LIKE ONE OF THOSE "LIFE EVENTS" LIKE GETTING MARRIED OR HAVING A CHILD?? Realizing you no longer relate to people who own the same car as you? Why don't people 8 years junior to me pine after clunky looking bug-eyed '80's 911's (I'm not even THAT old)?? I like my Prelude, I joke that it and the 911 will have to fight it out for beater status and the loser will get punished at autocrosses and DE events. But I compared the 911 to a hybrid Civic and surprisingly got mixed responses, is this the way God intended the world to turn out??
Just to cause a ruckus, the Prelude does more from 5200-7500 rpm than the SC did
but that is partly what I am tired of :laugh:
