Fluid change necessary? by
Michael[_19_]

fill brake and transmission fluid at 100 and 50 dollars. It was done

Charles Lasitter
It seems that if you want really good safety features with a Honda,
you've got to go out and spend big bucks for a bunch of stuff you may

I've got an '05 Accord LX, which I like, but it seems that the best
safety features aren't available unless...

Did I ever tell you aftermarket sucks?
Through no fault of my own, I ended up with two aftermarket reman
