99 auto tranny died at 30000, got rid of it when the tranny died again at 60,000. thermostat had issues because of increase in tranny temps which lead to other failures. this car was stock too. cold air, no cat, straight pipe. everything else was great though. saved my life on numerous occasions and got me alot of sex in high school. i remember letting my friends use it to skip school and they smashed alot of butt cheeks in it too. if anything get manual and dont drive this thing into vtec at all really. it may sound like it likes it, but it really doesnt. it doesn't tell you until over a 100,000 miles any way. i feel sorry for the poor soul who bought my prelude, hopefully the car can still get some pussy in todays time.
