Actually, I had it all planned out. I was gonna' wait until the odometer hit 99,999, bust it up to 100 mph, then take the picture, but it was raining so hard on my drive home from Atlanta last night, that I didn't dare.
That's why I was in 4th gear, getting ready to jump on it.
wouldn't that have been cool, 100 mph when I hit 100K ??

So, I was wondering if Honda would cover your warranty 100k from time of last tranny install??? I mean I got my tranny replaced at 38k...so theoritically, I should have warranty until 138k....I doubt it tho, but maybe if I bitch and complain enough. Although so far, the tranny has been pretty solid...little jerking and slipping...but that could just be my driving..oh yeah...78K

wow that's amazing! at the rate i'm going now my car would be on it's 5th tranny at 100k 
the ironic thing is my tranny started to act up on 4/1 last year (hard shifts between 1-2, 2-3, the usual, etc.)...couple of my friends had unfortunate incidents in their hondas/acuras that same day too...maybe it's a sick april fool's joke created by honda...i'm being half-sarcastic here, but you never know...
went to the dealership immediately...of course they gave me that "our computer didn't recognize anything so we can't help you" b.s.
pic taken on 4/2: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...a/fc50d883.jpg
tranny died later on that evening...tow truck towed it to acura the following morning...i didn't even show up to explain everything, i was so pissed..bet their faces were bright red though...no problems with my second tranny so far, i'm a little over 40k right now...hope it lasts for a while...

If that’s true, great, but I’m a little suspicious.
Why is the “Trip A” counter reading 000.0 if you’re going 75MPH.
If you were moving that fast, that thing would be clocking off the tenths faster then you could get your finger from the reset to the camera shutter.
Sorry to doubt, but there’s a lot of Photoshop Bull-Shitters here.
If it’s true…..CONGRATS

I did reset the trip odometer for the 100K pic.
100K in less than three years makes you a pretty good knee driver!

Shawn, I give you credit for asking the question (I noticed it as well), but DAMN, HiJincs was just waiting for that one! Thats funny how you took those pics at each count down mile!
Props to you and to acura for building at least one auto tranny that hit 100k miles! Good Luck to you on the next 100K!

If it holds up, I may give it to my youngest son as his first car after the loan is up.
We'll see. . .
