Talking What a Night!

What a night we had - We decided to go to Vancouver to do some grocery shopping in our CRV. Well the CRV broke down on I-205 right after we had taken the Seattle exit to head towards Vancouver. We couldn't get the car to start so we had to ditch the car and walk to the nearest exit (we don't have cell phones). We ended up at the Econo Lodge off of Sandy Blvd. to use their phone, but when we looked out the window we found that their was a Supra get together just across the street! Yay!
Of course we took some pictures:

We had the CR-V towed to gresham honda this afternoon. I guess we'll find out how much it is to fix on Monday. .
It's something with the ignition system, the car has gas and the alternator and battery are all good. When you turn the key it turns over but will not start and there is no spark.

I hope it is an easy cheap fix.

Sounds like it can be the ignition coil or something related like ignitor or distributor. Like Garret said hopefully its something cheap. Although cheap and dealerships don't really go along with each other.

I'm keeping my for you guys.
