I work with Infectious Disease Laboratory scientists and I can 💯 say that an outbreak of H5N1 or something similar wouldn't shock me. What would shock me is a pandemic again, even despite the anti science movement that has taken over American and some European culture.
The next 4 years are...
So the other drivers insurance company offered us $300 each for our minor aches (which have mostly cleared up) as well as covering all costs of repair. I'm sure we could have sued or something but fwiw I almost feel guilty taking the $300.
Luck worm is turning again. After the Honda dealer ordered the wrong part and kept the car an extra day, they just called me and said it ready. AND...that it was covered under the general 15 yr/150k warranty.
Was expecting to pay $700...now I owe nothing. Merry early Xmas to me and yippee...
Well the good news is that's its only the IPU module fan that's faulty. Hybrid battery still checks out.
Bad news is that we got hit from behind coming home in my wife's car, while stopped at a stop sign. So my luck is toxic right now with cars.
Also back is sore AF the next day.
Nothing like a check engine light coming on your 14yo car on the way to work on a Monday morning after the 4 day holiday weekend.
Sigh..it's the Honda IMA warning too..so really hoping it's not a full hybrid battery failure.
Edit..Only 147k miles on it and was really hoping to get a lot more...
