Very good point! In looking at the damage first hand, I believe this is a correct hypothesis...!

Good call!

Have fun with yet another break-in period. This will be your third, right

Greg,

I still say we talk to Woodwork. He's the one that looks at all the F20C failures. I'm sure he can give us some insight into what happened.

I can't believe you're going to have the car back this weekend already. That's pretty fast.

Greg - total craziness!

Pretty scary, but good that Honda is honoring the warranty!

Good luck and hope you are back out there soon.
