I just had the MDX at the dealer and they wanted $100 to replace the cabin air filter. I bought one for $19 and it took me less than 60 seconds to put in.
Must have been Holtz Acura. They tried the same thing on me. Christ! It doesn't even require a tool to do it! What bothers me more is that I could tell that they pulled it out to check it, because they didn't put it back in right. If you pulled it out to check it, the labor is already done! If they charged me $30 for the filter and nothing for the labor, I might have let them do it. Their still making $15-$20 dollars. Not bad for 5 minutes.

I think Acura gets away with it because their typical customer has above average income, and is not the blue collar type that might know something about a car. Goes to prove that college degrees and money are not always indicators of intelligence! OK, rant off.
Ain't that the truth. I do training for construction and industry on rigging. Ie. lifting with cranes using nylon, wire rope, and chain slings. I just had a group of 36 engineers because of a new OSHA Standard. I am not an engineer so I was a little nervious when I started. 10 minutes in found out they did not know anything. Common sense is not so common.

Have you posted it on their Facebook page? You should. No one has done anything for the S2000 as yet.

and love that tattoo. If I ever got one, that'd be it

You may have to "Like" them to post a pic on their wall.

Soon as you post Ellen and I will try to drum up a storm so we can draw their attention to your pic

It is still there.

I think their wall is only set up to display posts from Honda. If you clicked photos on the right where you have the other widgets and then scrolled down a little you will see your picture in the gallery titled Fan Photos From Honda.

Hope this helps. I think the way it'd work is that if they liked your pic, they will contact you to get your permission (written) to use it and then post it to the wall saying, we love you too Mark.

Anyone on here thats on Facebook, please click on that link above and "Like" it or add a nice comment. We need to do all we can to support one of our own.

Again the link to the picture is this http://www.facebook....26874274&type=1
