That is just crazy. I pay 1/4 of that for full coverage on two cars.

I love BB6 Preludes, by the way, but only if they 5-speeds.

they were ****...so many trannys went out and honda did not recall them. they gave 00-01 extended warranties, but left 97-99 in the **** hole.

mine was a 97 with ~70k on it.

didnt drive it hard at all. i never even used the SS mode. i was at a light one day, press the gas and the tranny slipped, went into first, and then went into neutral. i had no warning at all.
