Finally...

I bought a car.

1994 Honda Prelude VTEC $1800.00
Mileage: 190,000 miles

Excellent mechanical condition, engine does not leak nor burn any oil. Mechanically speaking there are no issues. Body has usual Honda rust, and the front left fender needs replaced (hit and run @ parking lot - a pickup truck backed into it). To-dos: New set of front tires, oil change after 100 miles, and treat the leather!

Ok. Added a picture. I don't have the car yet, maybe Sunday if not Monday, so that's why there aren't so many pictures yet.
