Ride of the Day: 99 Honda Prelude
By Sean O'Hara
So your ride isn’t in the new 50 Cent video. There aren’t mags lining up the world over to drape scantily clad models across it for a cover shot. Everyone else is in the same boat. If you’re cool-headed, you realize that your ride isn’t for other people to look at — it’s for you. Clinton from Australia has got that down with his 99 Prelude.

Why We Like It
The tail lights caught my eye first thing. With the battle cry “Shutup…I Like Them,” Clinton mounted those euro-tails on the rear with pride, just cuz he digs ‘em and didn’t care what passersby thought. This attitude makes customizers great.
What We’d Change
Some new shoes might be in this one’s future were it our call to make, but Clinton clearly has a vision of where he’s going with this.
