Please Congratulate Me!!!

I just had my first tranny failure at 35.5K! Horrayyy!

Tranny started going berserk last night driving around Raleigh, NC (slipping gears, jerks, overpowering), then i gunned it one good time and it redlined and slammed back down, D5 started blinking, lost SS, VSA and Check engine lights came on, and I was stuck in I think 3rd gear...took in in this morning to Leith Acura...and got a @#$#@ Sebring replacement car! Gotta fix that.

Yeah Leith Acura didn't have any extras, so I went through Triangle-Rent-a-Junky-American-Car, gonna try to at least trade up to a SUV.
