also manual 97 Prelude is so fucking claasy, hell yes
So I had a 2000 base auto in my college years. I had to sell it because it was breaking all the time and I didn't make the money to keep fixing it. Also, it was my parents' car on paper and they were making me sell it. They wouldn't sell it to me. It took all of eighteen seconds to determine I wanted another Prelude.
Now, I wanted one, but I wasn't about to move on one. But one afternoon, I was driving home and stumbled upon a neighbor who was a two minute walk from my house selling this red Prelude out of his driveway. I knocked on the door and asked some questions. I test drove it and asked what he wanted. After negotiating, I got him down to $2,700.
Turns out, it's got a red top H22A swapped in. Someone paid real good money to make 20 extra horsepower lol Still, it's a ripper. I had to daily it for a little while when the starter in my Civic died. And the old thing took it on the chin and is no worse for wear because of it. Good ol 90s Hondas.
My wife wanted to use the extra money to do some minor house renovations. Instead, because the opportunity just popped out of nowhere, I bought a car lol So after vacation, I do owe her a lot of work on our house.
I want to say pour one out to my dead Honda. But that was my first car that never leaked.
Hell yeah! That's awesome!
Does the wife have any interest in driving it?
Lmao she barely has any interest in riding in it. She does know how to drive stick. Her first car was a manual '91 Stanza. An interesting one, for sure. She hated it. Her preference is a bigger car with a tall ride height and room for the family and so her daily is a 5.7L Sequoia. She loves loading up her aging parents or her sister and her three kids and running around town. I stan the idea of being only one car on the road instead of two or three. My only gripe about the thing is that it's thirsty, but she teleworks five days a week so it doesn't really see much daylight. Now that my Civic is back up and running, that'll probably be the car for running errands around town.
Her interest is in the total opposite of the Prelude, BUT she says that she loves that it makes me so happy owning and driving it. She just doesn't care to ride in it.
My brother, you have made it. Congratulations. Now all you gotta do is return it, every day, with interest. I don't think that'll be too hard, somehow 😊
Lucky dude! Btw it’s Puget Sound, or if you’re a local, Pungent Sound. Fortunately I’m not a local anymore. I don’t miss the Aroma of Tacoma.
Thanks for pointing out the typo. Aroma of Tacoma cracked me up. My wife says it smells like "thoughts and prayers of fish." Fortunately for me, I have basically no sense of smell so I don't even notice.
Tacoma has its own special stench thanks to Le'May. Seattle doesn't really smell.
UBLIC MARKET CENTER
I visited when someone busted the L outta that sign. One could assume it was a professional services house.
Updoot for a fantastic wife
That's incredible, this made me happy to read. Wish yall the best.
Your wife sounds awesome!
Welcome to Seattle!
Heads up, in a small alley right across the little the street there at Pike Market, is an Italian joint called Pizza and Pasta Bar- their meatball subs are incredible!
Also in Pike Place right by the gum wall, is Alibi Room, best pizza in Seattle. Don’t go there, the wait is long enough as is.
I wish the L was out on that sign instead of the P so bad.
Fuck yes. Congrats on having a great relationship! I have one too and should probably celebrate my partner more.
This is so sweet. Thank you for sharing your joy with us.
What a keeper. Please be excellent to her, OP. Don't be like the other guys!
Oh man, I miss Pike’s Market! I lived in Seattle (Shoreline, which is about 15 miles north of downtown) for a few years and worked on 8th and Virginia, right next to the Federal Courthouse.
You got a great wife! Happy for you, OP!
Pike's Market
Seattle rage intensifies

Seattle freeze overwhelms rage. No words are spoken.
Proud of you both, be good to each other and have a great time. Thanks for sharing your lovely story!
Sounds rad, dude. Go eat dinner at The Pink Door if you can get in (which is right across the street from that second Market sign in the background), or at Lola's if you can't. Reservations are recommended for The Pink Door, but a $40 handshake with the hostess will usually get you seated.
I wanted that Prelude in silver so badly back then. But alas, I never had any real money until many years later.
Italian is her favorite. I managed to get a lunch reservation the day before we leave. There unfortunately weren't any dinner reservations available until October. Thanks for the tip!
Excellent! I'm not sure if they have shows for lunch, but their food is great, and the prices are reasonable. Enjoy!
You are like a block away from Pike Place Chowder! best soup place in the world i think
I'm excited for you! I've been living here for 4ish years now. It took almost ten years of saving, couch surfing, and career advancement before me and my former spouse made it here, but now I'm here. The struggle is for real and it's so incredible when you finally achieve one of those long lasting dreams!
Looks like you might be staying in the same apartment I did when I first visited Seattle. Great view, isn't it?
Welcome to our city, really great story.
Seattle is the best large city in the US, good choice. If you need food recs put down your preferences.
Happy for you, enjoy.
I bought tickets to this tour for my wife. U might be my mirror. Sorry about Seattle tho
Your wife sounds like a go-getter and a badass!
Paseo has really good food if you're nearby one.
