<div>About 6 months ago the driver's side power window quit working on my 1998 Integra LS. The passenger side and sunroof still work just fine, although they are pretty sluggish. <br />
<br />
I recently had some work done at a shop and had them do some diagnostics on the window. They told me that I need to replace the Power Window Master Switch along with the motor for the driver's side window. They quoted me at $850!! This is a mechanic I've used for years and who has never unfairly charged me for work. <br />
<br />
I called around to some other shops and they were all quoting me around the same price ($700-$900).<br />
<br />
Why would I need to replace the Master Switch if two out of the three power windows are working just fine?  Also, is $700-$900 for parts and labor to replace this sound accurate?</div>

<div>Provocative four-door sports coupe goes on-sale December 15 <br />
<br />
  TORRANCE, Calif. - Nov 20 &#8212; The all-new 2010 ZDX four-door sports coupe is set to go on-sale at Acura dealerships on December 15 with a manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) starting at $45,495, plus a destination and handling charge* of $810, Acura announced today.<br />
<br />
 Designed, developed and manufactured in North America, the ZDX has already generated a tremendous amount of excitement since its world debut at the New York Auto Show in April, thanks to its stunning coupe-like styling combined with flexible utility, a commanding presence and outstanding performance.<br />
<br />
 &quot;Acura dealers are seeing strong interest from customers for the ZDX well before its official on-sale date,&quot; said Jeff Conrad, vice president of Acura sales. &quot;The ZDX is like nothing you have ever seen before from Acura.&quot;<br />
  The ZDX will be available in three trim packages, the well-equipped ZDX; ZDX with Technology Package; and the ZDX with Advance Package. Highlights of standard features on the ZDX include the world's longest panoramic glass roof, concealed rear door handles, and a hand-stitched leather dash, center console and door panels. Powering every ZDX is a 3.7-liter VTEC&amp;reg; V-6 that generates 300 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque while achieving a class-leading EPA-rated city/highway fuel economy of 16/23 mpg**. Standard on every ZDX is Acura's exclusive Super Handling All-Wheel Drive&amp;trade; (SH-AWD&amp;reg;) system that provides outstanding handling as well as excellent all-season capability.<br />
<br />
 The ZDX with Technology Package adds an Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition&amp;trade;, AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic&amp;trade; with Traffic Rerouting&amp;trade;, AcuraLink Real-Time Weather&amp;trade; with radar image maps, a full VGA display screen and an innovative new multi-view rear camera. Additionally, the Technology Package includes an upgraded Acura/ELS Surround&amp;reg; 415-watt Premium Audio System with a built-in 15-gigabyte hard disk drive (HDD) media storage system (that allows the ZDX owner to download and store up to 3,500 songs***), a GPS-linked, solar-sensing, dual-zone automatic climate control system and Keyless Access System (with Smart Entry and push button ignition).<br />
<br />
 In addition to the features found in the Technology Package, the Advance Package adds several premium technologies including a new blind spot information system (BSI), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigating Braking System&amp;trade; (CMBS&amp;trade;), an Integrated Dynamic System (IDS) active damper system, heated and ventilated front seats with Perforated Milano Premium Leather seating surfaces, premium brushed tricot headliner material and a sport steering wheel.<br />
<br />
         <b><u>Trim</u></b>     <b><u>MSRP*</u></b>     <b><u>EPA**</u></b>           ZDX     $45,495     16/23/19           ZDX   with Technology Package     $49,995     16/23/19           ZDX   with Advance Package     $56,045     16/23/19     For more information about Acura vehicles, please visit <a href="http://www.acura.com" target="_blank">www.acura.com</a>.

<br />

<br />

<a href="http://www.honda-acura.net/features/htup_0912_1994_honda_civic_cx_hatchback_loi_songs/index.html" target="_blank">We reflect on what went well and what didn't with our entry in the Castrol Syntec Top Car Challenge.</a>When a casting call went out earlier this year in search of the perfect car to represent Honda Tuning magazine, a major decision had to be made. We could find the highest-dollar, most hardcore force-fed monster to compete against the other magazines, or we could choose a car more in touch with our readers. Now don't get me wrong, we love well-built powerhouses with high dollar one-of-a-kind mods just as much as the next guy. But the reality is most of us don't have the money to buy even half of what those cars run around with. With Loi's Song's Sportcar Motion-built Civic, you have mostly off-the-shelf parts, with a motor combo that a large number of Honda fans can build themselves. Unlike many shops, they don't keep any secrets; they'll tell you exactly what they're running, why they think it works well, and how to get your hands on it. The K-series motor is now a staple of the Honda community, and we wanted to see what it could do against high-level competition. When we featured the white hatchback (Aug issue), it was sporting a shiny new Kraftwerks Rotrex supercharger, making over 400whp. During initial track testing, cooling and efficiency became a serious problem. The solution would be a custom intercooler and radiator setup, but, with so little time before the competition, the Sportcar crew decided to drop the forced induction altogether. This of course made a major impact on power output but insured that the car would run cool even with desert track temperatures. Now if you're slapping your forehead wondering why we'd enter a competition with a severe disadvantage right from the start, we understand completely. But think of it this way: with the Sportcar Motion Civic running naturally, it truly is representative of the majority of K-swap owners that track their cars. Here's a breakdown of some of the categories along with ways we could have improved our overall standing. These aren't excuses by any means, but rather lessons on how to be that much better in the future.inline_mediumwraptextright31135800/features/htup_0912_1994_honda_civic_cx_hatchback_loi_songshtup_0  912_01_o+loi_songs_1994_honda_civic_cx_hatchback+right.  jpgTrue<br />

				<font size="3">The other day I went up to a local Christian bookstore and saw a &quot;Honk If You Love Jesus&quot; bumper sticker. I was feeling particularly sassy that day because I had just come from a thrilling choir performance, so I bought the sticker and put it on my bumper.</font><br />
<br />
<font size="3">Boy, I'm glad I did! What an uplifting experience followed!</font><br />
<br />
<font size="3">I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord and how good He is. I didn't notice that the light had changed. It is a good thing someone else loves Jesus because if he hadn't honked, I'd never have noticed! I found that LOTS of people love Jesus!</font><br />
<br />
<font size="3">While I was sitting there, the guy behind started honking like crazy, and then he leaned out of his window and screamed, <br />
<br />
&quot;For the love of GOD! GO! GO! GO!&quot;</font><br />
<br />
<font size="3">What an exuberant cheerleader he was for Jesus! Everyone started honking! I just leaned out of my window and started waving and smiling at all these loving people. I even honked my horn a few times to share in the love!</font><br />
<br />
<font size="3">There must have been a man from Florida back there because I heard him yelling something about a &quot;sunny beach&quot;. I saw another guy waving in a funny way with only one finger stuck up in the air. I asked my teenage grandson who was in the car with me what that meant, he said that it was probably a Hawaiian good luck sign or something. Well, I've never met anyone from Hawaii, so I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. </font><br />
<br />
<font size="3">A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and started walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray or ask what church I attended, but this is when I noticed the light had changed. So, I waved to all my sisters and brothers grinning, and drove on through the intersection.</font><br />
<br />
<font size="3">I noticed I was the only car that got through the intersection before the light changed again and I felt kind of sad that had to leave them after all the love we had shared, so I slowed the car down, leaned out of the window and gave them all the Hawaiian good luck sign one last time as I drove away.</font><br />
<br />
<font size="3">Praise the Lord for such wonderful folks!</font>

<font size="2">Enzo signs back, &quot;OK. You win!<br />

The money is in a brown briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin<br />

<br />
Lines were over an hour long today and some assholes camped out to get the first burger.<br />
<br />
Just wondering if it's worth checking out once the hype dies down. <br />
<br />
And isn't there a secret menu? Suggestions or link would be great!</div>
