Hondas are pretty nice.
This, unfortunately

Before I bought mine I had two things ready:
1. Good mechanic willing to extend a line of credit
2. Toyota as a backup car

But I've been fortunate and haven't needed either

I can't believe you bought a Porsche with a check engine light on. I hope you got it for next to nothing.

986_inquiry: Which mechanic do you take your care to? I'm also in STL, and have used Le Stable in Glen Carbon and was considering Plaza for some other work. Just seeing who else others in the area are using.
