At the risk of being flamed, I'll take a shot at translating:
So, something on my lap fell (went to downshift from 5th to 4th) , went to pick it up, accidentally redlined (shifted into second and let clutch go) , bounced off rev limiter once or twice (or 11 times) , immediatly took foot off pedal (and popped it into neutral) , engline came on, got to a light, stalled, no longer starts up, honda is cool (tell me a car that can rev to 16,000 RPMs)

oohhh, ooohh, my turn... lemme try !!!
So, something on my lap fell, (my mini-cell phone that I use about 3000 minutes a month) , went to pick it up, accidentally redlined (I left it in gear and squeezed the life out of the gas pedal) , bounced off rev limiter once or twice (weren't you paying attention ? I said I was on the cell phone !) ,immediatly took foot off pedal(I was deep into my conversation - I can't drive and talk at the same time) engline came on, got to a light, stalled, no longer starts up, honda is cool (I'm starting a new language - I hope you like it... I'm going to start us small caps and no periods in all my posts from now on... Honda is now cool because I packed the intake with dry ice to gain an extra 30 hp)

har har arent we comedians clever. i havent had much time, i just brought it into the dealership this mornin. i'll tell u guys the "whole story" when i can. sry about the confusion. the way the post was typed was meant to show my disdain with honda, at the moment.
