Did you have cruise control on? Also what was your average mph?

It's times like these when L's wisdom comes to mind, which I fully agree with. "A Honda's prime is it's 2nd timing belt." ...or whatever he said.

Lots of cruise control. Think avg was a bit over 60 though I never went purposefully below speed limit. Was generally at or 5 over.

The key is to get a car that can keep up with the engine, though.
