I Drive a Death Machine
I am currently driving a 2007 Honda CRV. This model has been
caught up in the big death airbag recall. They had sent out the recall for the
driver side some time ago. Just last month another recall came in for the passenger
side. This recall contained a warning in
red letters. Honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the
front passenger’s seat until the recall repair has been performed. Oh I did forget one important thing both
recalls mention that, THEY DON’T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT YET. The claim they will get the parts in the
fall. Until that time I am driving around in a death machine that could kill me
and my passenger.
New Cars are too complicated
Saturday my Mom drove through on her way down to see my
grandparents. She called with a problem. The battery light had started
flashing. She became worried that the
alternate might be failing and didn’t want to end up stranded. So we swapped
cars. She sped off in the death machine while I took her car to the Honda
dealer. I told them the story and they said it would be a little bit before
they could get to it. I sat in their waiting room drinking their free coffee.
After about forty five minutes the mechanic calls me over. He has a little
smirk on his face. “Sir, that was the warning light for the battery in the
key. We replaced it at no cost.” Fancy new cars have to have the key with a
battery in them for it to keep running.
