TSX Problem Solved!

So my Speedometer, Odometer, revlimiter (kicks in early so I can't redline anymore), check engine light, gas gauge, and cruise control were all out of function and I was scared to drive my 2 month old TSX around. However I brought it back to the dealer and they found the problem. There was a rodent in my engine compartment that chewed out all the wiring to build a nest. What kind of crap is that!!! It's not covered by warranty and the parts cost $300, however it's about 12 hours of labor so it brings the fix up to around $1000. Good thing my insurance covered the whole damn thing. Freaking a, Damn rodent, I'm going to shoot any rodent that goes near my car , maybe that's why I kept seeing squirrels around my car down in the basement garage.

Yeah, but I bet it still costs a lot to clean up the mess when they go through your belts.

Haha...rodents...

It's like the Geico commercial where the two squirrels conspire to run the guy off the road.
