Default UPDATE: My Arbitration with Honda yesterday

For all those that wanted to know what happened...

Things went pretty well (heh, for me anyways, not honda). When it was all done, and the honda guy was off the phone (and the tape recorder was off) the arbitrator pretty much agreed with me. He also said he thought it was going to be a quick case... but my buddy John that works at AEM BLEW AWAY the Honda rep. John brought up all this stuff (lol that even I had no clue about) and mentioned things that even the Honda guy had no idea about (I'm not going to say what... not sure if I'll get anyone in trouble)...

But, in the end, the arbitrator said that he didn't know enough about cars to make the decision, so he'll get a better business bureau "technical expert" to inspect the car. Which is a good thing...

The part that cracks me up... the Honda rep had a whole bunch of pictures of my car to show it was modded (the moron even had pics of MY SUBS!!!) and the arbitrator was like "where's all the pictures of the damage??". The honda rep had NO pictures of my block (I'm beginning to wonder if they even pulled the head... im going to the honda dealer today to see if the head bolts are tight, and if the head gasket's intact). John brought up the point "It's hard to tell what caused the damage if I can't look at it".


All in all... I think it went really really good for me. John, if you read this... THANKS!!!!

I'll let you all know what happens (they said around a week or so for the tech expert). Wish me luck!
