Yeah, I really wasn't planning on getting another car anytime soon. I am in college and don't really have the money, or even the time to spend on a different car. Of course I wasn't planning on my friend running into my car. I had actually been putting money into my '91 Sentra. Making it look nice and handle even better. I was pretty proud of it, and loved the litte car. Then I stayed at my friends house, and the next morning he comes inside and tells me, "I'm sorry man, but you need to look at your car." Right then, I knew I would be mad. He hit my car backing up. Starting with the front 1/4 panel, he didn't stop but kept driving, all down to the back of the car. The damage was over $2.2k, totally the car. This sucked and I was pissed. We bought the Sentra from the insurance, and I sold it to my mom so she could have her own car. I figured I would get a Prelude like I had always dreamed of getting. I found one I liked, but I decided to take a look at this 240 i found in the paper anyway. Oh, the second I saw that car, I wanted it. Both the Prelude and the 240 have 140hp, but the torque of the 240 is orgasmic compared to the Prelude. I bought it, my parents were upset, and I am the happiest I have ever been.
