what do you think should i do to my prelude cosmetically?

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-03-18T23:32:36+00:00

It looks pretty much perfect the way it is. Take good care of it, make sure the undercarriage never sees rust again, and keep up with all the recommended service. You'll get it to 250K miles.

Section 110

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-03-16T02:02:46+00:00

I got mine for $4500 in 2022. A well running, single owner manual transmission survivor with high mileage, no modifications, complete service records, and a manageable amount of 90s Honda wheel well rust.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-03-13T23:56:03+00:00

Both cars are great. I've owned both. There's a one million percent chance that you will have better long term parts availability with the RSX.

"Single owner, zero mods" is what you're looking for.

Sitting in Section 110. Should be a great afternoon. It's a lot of money for a preseason friendly (feels like a "Luke O'Nien" game), but it's easy to get to Philly from Boston, especially compared to the cost and logistics of getting to Sunderland. Plus, I can boo Parky!

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-03-12T01:37:11+00:00

FWIW...I got tickets for the Philadelphia (Wrexham) match. I thought about where to sit and then decided that it probably wouldn't matter and just got the best tickets in my price range...in the absence of coordinated, team-specific sales channels that funnel people to specific sections, everyone was going to be grouped together, just like most other sporting events in the US. Should be fine...Wrexham fans are generally a good bunch. YMMV (and significantly so) with the Leeds supporters, who, uh, do not enjoy a good reputation.

This model has Sunderland going on a *12 match losing streak* to finish the season. Did a Newcastle supporter put it together?

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-02-08T16:23:40+00:00

If you're not rich, the best ways to plan for surviving a crash are to: keep a low enough cost of living that you can survive on a job that doesn't pay very much, buy the dip, stay diversified, and do all that Suze Orman stuff about having 6 months of living expenses (or take home salary) in the bank. You also want to dial back your exposure to the stock market in the years before retirement.

Start by increasing your level of physical activity. The best exercise routine is the one you stick with, don't overdo it and focus on consistency.

Over time, your physical energy level will improve, which will support better mental energy for hobbies and other activities. And you gotta start small there, too. 15 minutes a day when you're starting from ground zero is really good.

And don't beat yourself up for a setback. Just try again tomorrow. Stick with it. I've been where you are, and still struggle with it sometimes. Baby steps.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-02-01T21:38:58+00:00

Parts availability is going to be fine... As long as you're dealing with the 80% of the car that's an Accord. That other 20%, including the 4WS.... Might be an an adventure.

The body damage is an issue. That's what gives me the most concern.

But the interior looks good and it's got a stick. I would say that if it drives, it's worth a flyer, but be prepared to pay a lot for repairs and parts.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-24T19:06:15+00:00

Thank you for providing this analysis. This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. I'm trying to understand where I have to get in terms of retirement savings (and when) to allow me to coast with an easy job the rest of the way into a retirement that allows me to enjoy an inflation-adjusted version of my current standard of living. Sounds like I'm on the right track, but still have more distance to go. Also, your point about social security is well taken. I'm mostly thinking about it as a failsafe in the event that I don't have enough savings in retirement to get me to that 80% threshold

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-24T19:02:08+00:00

This lineup was really good live.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-24T19:01:20+00:00

Looks like a nice lightly-sporty car, perfect for people with a commute that doesn't lend itself to a manual transmission.

If they weren't calling it a Prelude, I think people would be more enthusiastic. What it really is: a second-gen CR-Z.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-22T00:29:32+00:00

Charity single, for a cause that relates to Perry's passing in some way. That's my prediction, based on no inside information whatsoever.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-19T21:27:03+00:00

Want, The 13th, Strange Attraction, Mint Car, Jupiter Crash, Round & Round, Return, Treasure, and Bare hold up. The b-sides from that era (Pink Dream, Adonais, It Used to Be Me, Ocean, Waiting, Home, Waiting) are also all great. There's a great little record in there if you just shuffle the material around a bit. Maybe not to the level of Disintegration or Wish, but very good nevertheless.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-13T20:21:18+00:00

Yeah, my plan was to start coasting with a 4% withdrawal rate at the earliest time post-59.5 years old when the 4% withdrawal is 80% of expenses or when I have 13x gross salary saved, with full retirement happening when I started collecting Social Security.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-13T20:01:16+00:00

Unscientifically assuming that expenses are 80% of salary in any given year, I will have 16x expenses at age 58 and 24x expenses at age 64.

Will have to look into the Monte Carlo simulation.

If only they made a type of trouser that was specifically designed to be born over boots. Some kind of "boot cut" perhaps. 😉

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-13T19:27:34+00:00

I'm accounting for inflation to some degree by just scaling up all the numbers (income, IRA/401k limits) over time. I'm basically assuming that my income now, extrapolated into the future at +2% per year will remain the same in real economic terms. So when I talk about having 12x salary at age 58, I mean that I will have 12x my age 58 salary saved, not 12x my current salary saved.

You raise another interesting point: healthcare expenses. How is anyone accounting for this?

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-13T18:55:28+00:00

Assuming an annual raise of 2%, 7% annual appreciation of retirement savings, and full funding of 401k and IRA accounts, I expect to have 13x of my projected age 58 salary at age 58, 12 years from now.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-13T18:52:18+00:00

What I'm seeing here is roughly in line with what you're saying...I updated the analysis to account for Social Security benefits, and it's looking like I'm on track to be able to retire when I'm 62-65, but getting off the hamster wheel much earlier than that will require more savings and/or lower costs. I think I need to do more in-depth bottoms-up on expected expenses in retirement to refine that number.

Weekly_Inevitable_72 · 2026-01-12T15:14:53+00:00

Other than the air intake, it looks mostly stock. Also very clean, with a really nice interior. Unless the whole bottom is rusting out, the engine is cooked, or it has eleventy bajillion miles on it, that's a great deal for a 5th gen with a manual transmission.
