'91 Honda Prelude Had about 217k on it when I pulled the head to replace the head gasket last fall. First major work other that timing belt several years prior (due to leaking front oil seal) About a month later it had a rod knock and I figured since I was going to have it apart I'd replace...

The few times I've driven an automatic, I've disliked it. When my wife dropped her 2005 Accord 5-spd off to be serviced, they gave her a 2009 automatic loaner. She told me that entire drive back from Mechanicsburg to York on I83, the transmission kept shifting in-and-out of overdrive. Drove her...

1991 Prelude currently at 25-26 mixed driving. Was getting 26-28 until I got a rod knock and put in new rings and bearings.

Currently 219k on the car, but I purchased it with 107k and no idea if it was previously replaced, so it could have only 112k on it.

USMC 1985-1991 I thought I had an avatar, but it doesn't seem to be showing.

1991 Honda Prelude - 219K miles Since I bought it in 1996, it's gotten 3 timing belts, new oil seals (except for rear main, waiting to do clutch for that one), new front shocks and springs, pass.front axle. Still needs rear shocks and driver's axle replaced and rust repair. Put new rings and...

1991 Prelude with B21A1. 209k miles. Rear quarters are starting to rust (I don't wash it very often) and it burns oil, but that seems common with the FRM lined B21s. Still gets 26-28 mpg short-hop commuting, which is the same as my wifes 2005 Accord.

Don't know if my input means anything. I have cable. Was SusCom, but they were bought out by Comcast and now everything is currently being migrated over to Comcast. Don't know how much they will be charging yet. Cannot get DSL, Verizon tells me it is not available in my area (downtown York...

Actually, the locals were driving faster that we were - we were making the 2 hr drive from my brother-in-law's place to my wife's parent's in a drizzle, and a lot of the traffic on the freeway was still going ~75-80 and here we were doing about 60 because her parents cars have this wierd coating...
