    Why Do You Go Home?

    Not as expensive as financing a war. Or going to the moon. Maybe half as much as we spend on foreign aid to countries that don't give a rats butt about us anyhow!! Charity begins at home!!

Ya know honda...just maybe this sensor thing is an old issue and just got revealed now,,,especially if the 05 sensor is the same as the 07.....just maybe you could fight it out with DC to see if they'll include it in the recall???? Could be worth a try??

    I misspoke I apologize...I should have said: The states involved in the shortages should get together with Federal and local and AC od E to start resolving this ongoing problem. Playing with mother natures watersheds could have disastrous results....Maybe they should re-direct the Cheaspeake...
