Hello from a former Californian! Born and raised NorCal
CNG would be an interesting thing to watch. Please do keep us posted.
Also, re: being a Honda guy: I spent most of my car guy years hating Hondas, until I bought one as a beater. Everything is so light and tossable, but never fragile-feeling. I now get why people are so into them.
