Yes, I would agree with that defition :)

Hondas are, indeed good cars. Except for my sister's, and it just seems to hate us. The other three are great - much better than the olds and chevy station wagons we owned before them. Also better than my 76olds star fire, my first car - though it looked much cooler than the hondas, espically after we painted it. But there was the small item of it's being a death trap and doing things like A) the brakes breaking on a trip from New Orleans to Slidell (about 30 miles, 2 of it over a long narrow bridge (at least it wasn't over the 25 mile long Cauesway!!)) B) the flywheel almost flying appart on the same trip, differant time, and C) the accelerator sticking full open in heavy new orleans trafic. Oh, and D) the whole thing of it's one year long cooling problem which all came from a radiator hose that got cut by a belt pully, which I knew nothing about untill the engine siezed up because it had no temp gauge, then I had to replace the busted radiator and alter the busted headgaskets. Fun fun. I hated that car and I loved it.
