The only thing I am having to get used to is the fact that when the cruise is set the tranny will donwshift from 4th to 3rd for hills. I realize why, but it is going to take some getting used to.

I know, I'll use the money I am saving at the gas station to buy a brewski and then I will toast the fact that I now own a Honda.

beautifully said with a perfect ending
