Do you say whats up to other preludes on the road? - Tuner-Junction

DCxMagus · #1 (**permalink**) April 8th, 2006, 03:59 PM

Just wondering if anyone else did this? When I had my saturn ION only like 65 yr people owned one and once in a while I would see a cute girl in one. Since he prelude I noticed its a lot more guys (and 1 girl so far) that are my age and at least take care of the car if not modify it.

Nothing big but I usually just catch up to them give them a thumbs up or something got a few puzzle responses then a chuckle after they realized what I was doing. Got a nice little 3 prelude cruse down the street a few blocks before we went our seperate ways. But I noticed when i ride with my friend in his rex all the rex owners always say whats up and wave to each other, just wondering if you guys do the same. Since my car looks completely stock besides the windows is probably why I don't get any looks at all but how would you guys response to something like this?

P.S. if you see the metallic blue lude and see a thumbs up go out the window in so cali say whats up!

I give thumbs up alot. but other prelude owners most the time arent cool or dont see you. WRX owners or Corvette owners, the non-honda owners are typically nicer to you and give you a wave or thumbs up as thanks.

yeah there's barely any 5g preludes drivin around daily around the city but in my daily routine (school, gym, etc.) i see a few cuz of the young people and I've given a look to a girl drivin a prelude once and she smiled and said whats up but other than that, never....but at school, other slightly modded and heavily modded hondas/acuras always park next to my prelude even though its completely stock and usually unwashed haha

typically ill give a nod or a wave to other modded hondas, and if i see a car thats really badass, they get a thumbs up. one time i was pulled up next to a ferrari and i rolled down the window and sai hey nice car, and he thanked me. i think its just a nice thing to do

i always try and say whats up to anyone with a nice car...flash them a smile at least.

as far as preludes go...i know most of the prelude drivers in my area so of course i say whats up...but if theres one i dont know...i always try and give them a nod at least...i notice here in san jose area tho that theyre not as likely to check your car out or look back...everyone is a lil self absorbed here.

i usually give a little acknowledgement kinda like bikers do. Just raise your fingers up off the steering wheel enough so they see it. Nothing big.

Drew · #8 (**permalink**) April 11th, 2006, 02:02 PM

i usually give them thumbs up or the 2 fingers wave from the steering wheel.. but they always give me weird looks.. so i really dont do it anymore unless a luder does it too me first. sometimes if there isnt anyone on the road and i see one in the oncomming traffic i honk and wave/thumbs up

us S2000 owners do that shit all the time... especially if the top is down...

I've yet to drive by an S where we didn't acknowledge each other in some fashion. I tried to do it in my 'Lude, but I got a lot of weird looks and shit... guess there's less of a cult following for preludes than something say, like an S2000 or a Corvette or something like that.

DCxMagus · #15 (**permalink**) April 17th, 2006, 03:31 AM

yeah I see S2000, WRX's and SRT-4 guys doing it all the time.

I say whats up to a few S2000 guys and other modified Honda's

Once I get my Flex's and the car gets dropped and I have exhuast and headers I'm sure I'll get more of a response from people right now my lude looks stock on the outside.
