My girlfriend has spent almost as much on her accord as I've spent on my piece of.. I mean.. my contour.
w3rd. My buddy has a '99 Accord with 93K on it. currently in the shop spending thousands of $$$$ getting the enigne replaced. It broke a piston ring a burnt out a couple valves. And this is a guy who never exceeds 1/4 throttle. Go figure.
Of course my CSVT has never missed a beat ...
BTW - Dragonfly and you other whiners ... read my sig and take it to heart. No one wants to hear the pissing and moaning.
