*Definitely* not good

I took the Honda back to the dealer's this morning -- a slightly harrowing drive.  The shop foreman took it for a test drive and pronounced the transmission DOA.  Which leaves me with the intriguing question of whether to pay $3500-$4000 (depending on warranty) for a new transmission, plus the $1000 for service and front brakes that it's going to need in a couple of months, or back away slowly and get a new one.

The hybrid Civic sitting at the dealer's was only about $23K... it's so tempting...  I'd have to put the transmission on a credit card...  My checkbook hurts...

Sounds like how I ended up with the current truck. I had already made the pledge that, much as I loved the Jimmy, I wasn't throwing good money after bad if something major went out, the next time. (And by then, it really didn't owe me anything.)
