..Drove by the Honda dealer,on the way to pick up some airline tickets for a Florida trip...they had the "new style" this is the 80's folks PRELUDE 5 speed in the window in a lovely metallic blue.....went in fer a LOOK SEE......(deposit flew outta my pocket).........and I couldn't fully enjoy the Florida vacation waiting to get back to drive the thing (Dealer insisted as it was his only one left he needed something to show for a week......I had bad dreams of "DASH SQUEEZERS& kiddies wif Ice cream !!!!!!).............thing woz spotless on return...watta FUN car.................
not too many years later getting ready to pick son up from Camp Queen Elizabeth.......we wandered in to a Dodge dealership (we had a 2nd hand GTX2000 aka Mitsu Galant) Wifey liked the new one in white with brown upholstery and while salesman knew he had a HOT buyer,i had to do the dance for 4 hours to get the right PRICE.....SOLD to the gentleman with a determined spouse...on picking up son...all he was concerned about was going back next summer to Beausoleil Island..Oh this one is white ,where's the RED ONE?
