Arrow S2K wouldn't start up this morning...

So I'm getting ready to leave for work this morning. I'm running a bit late, so I rush to take a shower, shave, and throw on my clothes. I hope in the car, throw the key into the II position, step on the clutch, and hit the starter. Nothing. Just a loud buzzing. Crap. Wth could it be?? I go ahead and try to start her up 3 more times. Still nothing. What gives?

When I figured out the problem, I just about wanted to hurl myself off a cliff:
I was tryin to start my Integra using the moonroof button. I was hitting the 'close' button/switch thingy for my moonroof, thinking it was the start button. I then banged my head on the steering wheel 3x for good measure, hopped out of the 'teg, jumped in the real s2k, then left for work.


Cliff notes: Was late for work, hopped in my Integra, thinking it was the S2k, then wasted a good 5 minutes trying to start it using the moonroof switch. Great. Good times.

Are you saying your Honda key works for both cars? or do you have both keys on your keychain?

The latter, yes.

I think the fumes from my test pipe did the trick, actually.

Just make sure you don't ever go to open the 'moonroof' while driving the S2k.

I've caught myself pressing the side buttons on other cars to start as well

Lol.... I've been in my Prelude and went to turn down the volume on my radio and opened the sunroof many times.
