Hey I like you Honda guy. I love the fact that places like AdvancedAuto and Auto Zone will pull codes for free. I recently had to have a code pulled and I knew instantly what was wrong with the car. Love the fact that it takes all the guess work of repairing the vehicle and unnecessary mechanic bills.Don't worry so much about your spedometer working it's not like your car isn't able to get you to work and back. Just do the speed of those around you. In the mean time do have your codes pulled and then ask around for a decent mechanic that you can trust. I agree with you re: "American made" cars. More specifically Ford, GMC, Chevy. Even though we're seeing Toyota made here in America I too would sooner buy a Toyota (especially the Tacoma) and a Honda. Good Luck!
