Nice story, but why does it feel like a plug for Don Baker Communications more so than the dealership.

Probably because the dealership didn't need as much advertisement than he does. Hre probably wouldn't have done it if he couldn't advertise DB communications as much as he did.

yep, I'm guessing he agreed to do the video if he could plug his business.

Surprised the tranny didn't grenade on the owner
/edit: it's a stick, Honda does make a very, very, very good gearbox.

I wonder what the front end looks like under that new bra? 700K miles of rock chips...

Absolutely awesome, and even if some come in here hating on this the mileage alone simply shows them up to be a fool at the mouth anyway.

Wow, that is what we call "bullet proof". How could the owner acculmulate 700k plus miles since year 2000? All the cars my family has ever owned since we came to the U.S. don't have that mileage.
