Default Good news and bad news.

First the bad news...

My Check Engine light came on so I did a self diagnostic (Short out the pins in the OBC plug and make the light flash a code). Catalytic problem.. could just be an Oxygen sensor.

Took it in... yep... O2 sensor. "Leave it with us for a couple of hours." A couple of hours later they call to tell me we need to replace the sensor and the catalytic converter... it seems the sensor broke off inside. All under warranty but it means I won't have the car all weekend.

Now the good news...

I got me a G35 as a loaner. Fun like crazy. Boy howdy it beats the snot out of getting a puke-green-metro!

Nope... unfortunately not. Has the tiptronic type automatic but that's not too much fun and the shifter is poorly positioned.

Still a nice car to drive. Not in the same league as the S but what car is? It would make a nice 2nd car.

That's sweet. I wonder what loaners the local dealers will provide me with. In the past, I've had:
TL (96)
TL (something more recent, 2000 I think)
RSX
Another Integra
