Im sorry for the loss of the rex!.... but as long as you still get to look at it and Drive it SOMETIMES.... but then again that might be worse, knowing that its there, and its not ur main car! 
I am no longer a crx owner *pics*
Some of you may remember much of this story but for those who don't.......my dad's been looking for a new car for a few months and he said he'd sell me his prelude when he found a car he liked. Well because he's been looking for so long he told me last month that if he didn't find one by spring, he'd just let me pay him for his lude and he'd take the rex in and nock $1,000 off the lude's price like it was a trade in. So today I went to the bank and got the money for the lude and traded him keys. So I am now the new owner of a 1990 prelude Si and no longer a man with a rex . I already miss the rex and I haven't even owned the prelude for a full 12 hours yet haha.
It's weird driving the prelude.....it's a much nicer car but I still feel like I'm driving "my dads car" and not my own. It's weird for me getting used to it being an automatic too.....I don't like that but thats about the only bad thing about the car so I can't complain too much. It has a little surface rust that I'll take car of this summer and I might rebuild the motor too since it burns a little oil. I'm thinking that I'll just keep the lude as a reliable DD and eventually I'll look for another rex. I still love the crx so much more but theres simply no way I could pass up a deal like my dad gave me. My new car is fast, better in the turns, has less rust, and it has more factory options (my crx was a DX and the lude is an Si. you do the math).
And since the crx will still be at my house I'm sure I'll be able to drive it occasionally so it wont be too bad. It's just gonna take some getting used to. And trust me I'll still be here at the community since I really like reading what you guys post up......even when it in no way shape or form involves me.

Well I gotta go to work here in a few minutes so I'll try and take some pics tomorrow if I have time. But even if I do it will take me a day to put them up. Between school and work I have practically no time at all now. But yeah I'll get some pics of the lude up for sure and I'll try and take some of the crx to so you can tell me upgrade or downgrade. I lost a rex so I'm sure your gonna say downgrade but when you compare the two cars I think youll see why I took the prelude.
no the lude's not a 4ws......but it still out turns the crx by a mile. I wish it was the 4ws because I think it would make turning into parking spaces easier. The crx was shorter and has a tighter turning radius at low speeds. But on the road you can tell the suspension in the lude is far superior. Theres a turn a few miles from my house that I wouldn't even think about taking at more than 15-20 mph in the crx but in the lude I took it at 30 yesterday and didn't even realize how fast I was going. The car could take it quicker but I wasn't trying to test the limits in it yet.
And nah harmonator he didn't rip me off. He sold me the crx for only $300 when I turned 16 so he gave me a break on the rex a year ago and his lude (now my lude) is worth about 2k so I came out about even.....actually a little ahead since my crx wouldn't be worth more than $800 unless it was sold to someone who really wanted a 1st gen rex.
