My car, Fiona, is going to the hospital. It's been a little over a week since the transmission started acting up... a long, stressful week. First I was told that I needed a tranny rebuild. At 90k? Ridiculous! Then I was told just don't drive it when it's hot out. Um, I live in HOUSTON. Next I was told there was nothing wrong, it just needed a tranny flush... oh, and just ignore those lights on the dash that are coming on. Uh-huh. After that I was told to come on in and have those lights checked out fairly soon, but go ahead and drive all I want in the meantime.
Current status: the tranny is toast, but Honda is paying for it. I suppose that is the best I could hope for at this point. I would rather not have a transmission problem at all, but apparently with an early-2000s Honda that's not an option. So I'll be grateful it didn't happen 10,000 miles later, when the warranty would be expired.

AARGH! (and that's not a piratical greeting) Well, hopefully this will give her a new lease on life and add another 250,000 miles to her strength and joy.
