Seriously? That's cool, I didn't know that at all.
My last experience with a Honda was a '78 Civic with the Hondamatic; it had only two gears.
Boy, do I miss that car. With a leak in the fuel pump diaphragm, blowing liquid gas out the vent hole (onto the exhaust manifold
) it still got 30mpg. It went like stink and parked anywhere.
