    You seem to have figured out how to post, do you really want answers?
    Maybe you should have kept the Honda..

    KK6PD was helpful, he told you to keep reading post 4 until it solved your problems.

    Reading and replying to posts 4 and 5 WILL solve this, whining will not. Without those facts we can go no further.

    You know what sucks more than having slow internet? Wasting it opening threads like this.

    First off I have to apologize for the condescending remarks. I didn't know if you were for real or just someone pulling our strings.

    You put yourself in a very bad situation. If you were having a bad day, you should have stayed home. You claim that the dealership should have sent you home. Well thats exactly what the first dealership did. But instead of going home you went to another dealership. Whats to say that had they send you home, you wouldn't have gone to another dealership?

    At the end of the day you have to take responsibility for your own actions. Don't buy a car when you're not in your right mind and bring a friend with you next time. Right now it sounds like you're stuck with a big fat lemon.

    Gotcha. And I agree. :)

    While an odd post, I do feel bad for the OP. Some of us are not computer savy and up on internet lingo.

    Using ignorance of technology is no excuse for rambling. After 60 years of life, one should know how to form a basic question and give details pertinent to the problem.

    If my pet elephant wasn't feeling well, I don't think I would mention that I put the dishwasher on at 3pm last Friday to the vet. It just doesn't make sense...

    Yes it seems that the OP could really have used some help but sadly she chose not to answer any questions and ensure that no one can help her. That's her choice and there's nothing we can do but accept that she's only here for a rant and doesn't really want help.

    eldie we are just killing time waiting for the answers to post 5, we are useless without them. I gave the best generic help I knew in post 4, only answers to post 5 could re-form this into a technical thread.

    I am not expecting answers to post 5, I am expecting more drama laden theatrics.

    I am betting the desire for drama outweighs mere consistency.
