Only yankess spell it with the o in front. In the south it's pronounced pawzum.

Hey, at least you were at speed. I take it you've never encountered roadkill during stop and go traffic that won't clear your front lip... your two options:

-Stopping and praying that the person behind you left enough room for you to back up and go around....

-Pushing the dead little sucker along at 2 mph until his body disintegrates enough to fit under your bumper, and then gets stuck against your catalytic converter....

Yum.

The way I see it, it was either him or you! Thank God the little bastard didn't do more damage than the front lip; that's easy to replace.

BTW, anyone else think Honda should sell OEM front lips in a 3 pack? They seem to take all the abuse from rocks, furry mammals, road debris, etc. I'm on my second one in 18 months from the damn Philly roads!
