Death to Honda

When I first bought my car, I thought, “ooh, a hybrid! All my car woes will cease from this day forth.”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Sorry. I get carried away with the copy and paste functions. I secretly only said ‘ha’ sixteen times and they were all on the inside, where real men put their emotions 😀

Today, though, I had to fill the tank with gas (shut up, we hybridites pump gas too. Just not nearly as often as you), change the oil filter, the transmission fluid, the air filter (you try keeping an air filter nice in New Mexico), rotate the tires, and get the car washed.

They tried charging me $290. I told them to bite me, after which they lowered the price to $188 (who needs tire rotation and a fixed A/C? Not I, said the Pix. After all, New Mexico’s summers are only the third hottest in the nation). When they finished, the bill was for $230.

How they snuck in twelve hours of man labor in sixty minutes is beyond me.

So now I’m never going back. But it’s not just Honda, they screw you at all car dealerships.
Basically, any product that can have a huge profit margin (printing, computers, cars, houses, territories, etc. Anything people are ignorant about and seldom buy), will have people try to screw you over. But, because El Paso Honda decided to screw me over, I’m going to devote the next three years to costing them double the amount of money they cost me (I’m going to say about $1,000 since 2002).
I’m not sure what this means yet, but I’m going to get my money’s worth. Just you watch..

or read, whatever’s most convenient for you.
