Who do you think that incompetent driver is going to hit? I would
actually favor some efforts to weed out or restrict incompetent
drivers, but that would require evil government regulation. Can you
imagine the uproar if the government required a special light truck
license to drive your suv, minivan or pickup. Two moving violations
in a year (in any vehicle) and you lose your special light truck
license for two years.

A week ago, the doorlock clicked but did not open when a key was
inserted. It also jammed when the button was tried. I managed to get
it open, get it to the dealer, and get the lock internals replaced.

Got it home, after a couple days and maybe two car rides two and fro,
put the key in the door and click, it did it again with the new lock.

To get in I have to hit the button and pull the door handle quick
because it relocks almost instantly. Both doors relock, so I can't use
either unless I am quick. Key is useless anf just jams inside the
lock, I was lucky to get it out the first time I tried.

Is this a common issue? The replacement didn't even last a week! I
keep in shape but I'm not a pro Footballer or WWE Champion! I'm being
gentle! What gives?

Looks like I'll be going in again. Most visible internals were white
plastic, are the replacement units weaker than the original ones?

LOL! I was gonna say, a Magpul edition Honda would be fun. Another
"Civic Option" for those ads....

Anything on the horizon?

A roadster with the Honda or Acura six tuned for performance could be
neat....
