MAn.  Everytime I have a good day, something fudges it up.

Coming home from work after an awesome day, and I get halfway home, on the bypass, and I slow down for some traffic on the on-ramp, get into the left lane to speed up, hit the throttle and it goes to the floor, but the car slows down.  Turn off the stereo, and the engine is still running. . . . . . . .

Pull over, getting passed by vehicles running 75mph+ and only 2 feet away.  Throttle cable broke.  Wouldn't you know it, I had a lot of aircraft cable and a nice little toolbow I carried around in the trunk with me that I took into work two weeks ago.  Well, yeah, all I had was my little care kit with jumper cables, flares and my little flashlight and swiss army knife pliers (very handy!), so I ended up having to rip out my sub wire, tie it to the throttle and route it inside so I could control it by hand until I got going fast enough to use the cruise control.  Well, pulling back on a wire to actuate a lever that moves side to side doesn't work all that well, and the drive home was less than enjoyable. 

fudge it, I'm done with this car.

Nice work getting home though, been in many a scenario like that in some of my other cars. Good justification to get rid of it. Had a problem with the throttle on my Pinto a while back, but its still upside down in the woods.

story time, please

Put the mids on the R and you get treble

Frickin' japanese engineers. Drove a brand new Honduh Odyssey this week. It rained last night so it wouldn't start. 866 miles on it and it is a major POS.

"that bad" is really just honking boring. I have no idea why the battery was dead, I double checked for things left on to drain all over the place. Everything was off, and it is supposed to shut down circuits that are left on according to the manual. My colleague will let me know what happens tomorrow, just jumped it with a tow truck.

My moms honduh decides it doesnt want to start sometimes

You just gotta keep turning the kley untill it does.

Doesnt even attempt to start, just clicks.

And when ity does it does it with no hesitation.

Really annoying when you have to be at work 10 min ago because the car didnt want to start

[///M5 2,833]

Annoying yes.

If you replace the solenoid on the starter it won't be so annoying anymore
