Re: V-TEC Prelude VS. '98 M3

["Kai Lindsay Wang" <kaiwang@xxxxxxxxx>]

Crappy Hondas?  I own and have owned both Honda's and BMW's, and Honda's are
FAR MORE reliable than any BMW's.  As for Handling, you'll be surprised as
how well a stock Prelude handles compared to an M3.

When I was younger (and had less fear of death), I used to be able to come
off a highway into an exit with a DECREASING radius turn (with only a very
slight bank) at around 100 mph in my prelude..  I would be able to break and
get the car around without sliding off.

At the stop light, a M3 would blow the prelude away..

Don't knock a car unless you have driven it for extended periods.

FYI: I own or have owned in the past the following cars so I know by
experience: 88 Prelude S, 92 Prelude SI, 95 Prelude VTech, 96 Accord, 97 M3,
98 528i, 95 NSX (Also a Honda!).
