My HS928TA falls into this category (unfortunately). I just called my local Honda dealer and was told that all costs are covered, including pick up and return delivery costs. The bad part is that after this last blizzard they can't pick it up for a week and the repair time is estimated at between 1 - 2 weeks - YIKES!!! I think I'll have to keep an eye on the forecast before I decide to move forward with the repair now or wait a little bit.

If Honda were to apply their snow blower pricing policy to their cars, can you imagine paying 50K to 60K for an Accord?
They'd be out of the auto business with pricing like that. No, I can't. But I can imagine paying that much for a BMW. :) I'm still trying to figure out how a $40,000 Chevy Volt is better than a $25000 car.

No, I can't. But I can imagine paying that much for a BMW. :) Not this guy. I don't really care about slick sophistication nor prestige. I want stone axe reliability and reasonable fuel economy. That's why I drive a 1996 Toyota 100 SR5 4WD that I bought new and have owned for almost 15 years. Without a doubt, the best vehicle I've ever owned. It's got thousands of miles being pounded down rough gravel roads and it still doesn't squeak or rattle. I have not spent one dime on repairs. The only maintenance has been new tires, batteries, windshield wipers and air filters along with regular lubrication. No rust and never a problem. Sorry for going off topic here.
