I'm quite proud of my '88 Honda Prelude Si. I bought it used with ~50,000 miles on it and drove it 'til 246,000 miles when the clutch went out. I decided it was done and parked it in the garage for two years 'til a neighbor bought it. He put a new battery in it and it cranked for about (3) seconds (whereas it normally fired up instantly) and it started.
