First of all, I love the threads that everyone has been writing. I've gotten a lot of info (mostly useful, some not so) about the HCH. Finally registered as a user instead of just a bystanding reader.

Got my goods at Hayward of Honda on 3/12. Waited 3 weeks to pay $400 over MSRP though . Can't complain. Used to drive (and still do) a yellow 1995 M3. Still runs great, but getting a little tired of those traffic jams here on Southbound 880 in the Bay Area here. For those of you doing the same commute, you can still see me sitting in traffic watching you (hybriders) go by cuz I'm waitin' on my sticker. Still chugging at 23mpg in that car (not bad). Wanna save a bit on the mileage considering only 3 year/36k for warranty (too cheap to spend the extra $1300 on the 7 year/120k).

A little bit about a couple of dealerships. San Leandro Honda kinda suks. They give you a 4 month wait time and they don't treat you well cuz they know you're not buying that day. Hayward of Honda was allright cuz I my friend knew the sales manager there. Their original markup was $2k, but he gave it out for the $400. The finance guy suked though cuz he was making excuses on why i SHOULD get the ext warranty. Told me that the technology was unproven and crap like that. Dude, it's a Honda. Knocking their own products to get their score.

ok, off my soap box. Only 112 miles thus far after two weeks. Only driven to SF for the transponder and around town. But probably be putting on 20k/year once it gets going.

thanks all.
