Sometimes relationships are wonderful, enduring, life-sustaining things. Sometimes they aren’t. Eventually you get to the point where you just know: it’s not working, it’s not happening, you’re happier spending time away from someone than with them. More »
You’re interrupting my stereotype! XD

Oil? Seriously, we gotta put oil in there?

Better late than never, right?
Congratulations Mr Underwear Ninja on your brief (followed by the extended mix later (below) COTD. I would like to award you a budget find I made recently. This Double IPA (Boatswain, there is some history there, but I’ll leave that for another day). can be found at Trader Joe’s for the low low price of $1.99 and at 8.4% ABV it’s effective. Very much so for the price.
Congrats again on your COTD!
It tastes like grapefruit. Some reviews say like grapefruit soap, I disagree. It’s slightly artificial, but not in a bad way. And for two bucks? I shall not complain.
Disclaimer, in no way shape or form am I saying that your COTD is budget, I just tried this recently and wanted to share. It’s worth a try at two dollars. It is by no means great. But it isn’t terrible.

Almost had to have been the 2.1…
It’s a major part of why I just bought a Prelude S instead of Si.

Ah yes. Me and my 240 are in a “rough patch”. I loved her more than I thought possible then she started to let herself go. 3 months into owning her the rust on the fender started. I tried to ignore it but it constantly nagged me. I spend all that money and you are gonna start rusting? I kept up with the oil changes and regular maintenance but it just wasn’t enough. The other fender started to bubble and the rust eventually popped out like a festering pimple. I think I started to give up when I picked up my mistress who I only saw in the summer. She got jealous. She protested by having electrical problems and other issues. We had some fabulous winters together, sideways in the snow but she couldn’t keep up with my abuse and neglect. Her suspension is old and tired and her fenders rusted. I still love her but I’m not IN love with her. She has turned into a gold digger and I can no longer pay. I have to replace her soon but I will never forget her. You never forget your first love. Other cars might be faster and shinier but she was with me through the good times and bad and for that she will always be special.

Good thing you specified Honda. An engine that good doesn’t deserve to be in what I’m borrowing right now.
(God, I hate this car so much.)
underwear-ninja
I feel so gosh darned proud of myself.
Actually the situation behind this car was really complicated. I got poetic over it in an above comment, but the tl;dr is that the person helping me pick out the car secretly had it out for me and thought me having such a fun car was a bad idea, so they tried to put me into something they knew was unreliable.
underwear-ninja
Next time, don’t pass the redline.
Congrats nonetheless, just trolling a little.

Actually my Prelude was riiiiiight before the Vtec years. So more like “regular engine just kicked in, yes.”
underwear-ninja
Looks like someone installed a machine in that Honda something for doing leg presses.
She has definitely been working out. Nice.

If it makes you feel any better, I really liked the comment too.

Seriously, I was just driving along and then ….

Is it considered smug to comment on my own COTD? Either way thanks for this teeny li’l honor, guys. Now pardon me while I wax nostalgic on this subject some more.

To my first car,
I searched and saved for you, the car for me. A car to get me through college during the week, and through the country roads on weekends. I knew you were a little beat up on the outside, but I was young and eager, and I had my best go-to guy for car advice help pick you out for me. He said you were fine, much to my delight. Everything seemed so perfect and fun for a while, and when your problems crept out of the cracks I didn’t get mad at you. I had found out my trusted source had betrayed me, to punish me for the youthful crime of wanting such a fun car. I didn’t fault you, Prelude, I still liked you. I took those classes at the campus for you, to get you to get me through the next couple years of my life. When more problems started popping up the more I tried to fix you, I didn’t curse you, Prelude, I still liked you. Then came that seemingly pleasant autumn day when we were out for a morning drive, and the smoke started. I tried to save you, even managed to get you home. I had you towed away a week later, unable to replace the engine you lost. I wasn’t glad to be rid of you, Prelude, I still liked you.
I still like you, Prelude, and I always will. When I’m older, more patient, and more skilled, I’ll get you back and get you looking better than ever. I’ll make those dreams I still have of cruising through wooded country roads in the autumn a reality for both of us.
(Also that jerk still owes me like two grand.)
underwear-ninja
Haha, good one. The things people do with their first cars are the things they will probably never forget. Lot’s of memories there. Thanks for sharing.

Now, me and the mad scientist gotta rip apart the block, and replace the piston rings you fried.

Congrats on COTD. It is something to be proud of. You should also be proud to have killed a Honda, which is also an accomplishment :p
dogisbadob
I’m guessing she finds that Honda practical for commuting back and forth to the gym.
Just not in those heels.

Congrats to ninja for the funny, and thanks to Patrick for avoiding the treacle.

Oh…those were so pretty, too. My condolences.
And my congrats on COTD.

Or so that’s what you thought.

Probably was the 2.1 liter bastard engine. Great engine and trans but those FRM sleeves are just too good. Eats up the piston rings faster then I can jack off to Skaycog’s Prize pictures. Just ask any owner of a H22. They have the same problem.

Congratulations, Mr. underwear-ninja, on COTD today! I would like to gift you with a Honda something to be delivered by this lovely lady in a few days. Have a lovely weekend!

Short and sweet, well done Mr. Underwear Ninja! You win a new engine for your Prelude, or any Honda you may purchase in future.

I lol’d. Well done, sir.

It became an external combustion engine? Sad.

Was it the 2.1?
