I'm just screwing with you, Foof... We actually are interested in getting the details - how fast were you going, what gear were you in, what cellphone plan are you on every month, did it hit the rev-limiter, did it finally restart, how long your lithion-ion battey maintains a charge, etc...

again, just having some virtual fun here... but let us know what's up...

anyways, what basically happened was, i was playin with my car (cuz its so sexy) redlining it and all, then on 3rd to 4th...i went 3rd to 2nd (as quite a few ppl have done before might i add). pow went the car. anyways, i'm not paying the $7k or however much it is. we went to Keyes Honda here in the valley (on reseda/sherman way) and the service manager there sympathized with us (it was human error) and talked it over with Honda of america. honda of america decided to cover it for us this time, but next time its gona burn a hole in our wallet ;]

go honda.
Res ipse loquitor.
