You really don't need your parking brake adjusted unless it's REALLY loose, you can do the coolant yourself for about an 8.00 bottle of Honda spec coolant (if you're not techically savy, take it to your garage and they'll probably do it for about 35.00), oil goes without saying, spark plugs don't need changed til 105,000 miles no matter what anyone says, you only need the valves adjusted when you replace the timming belt, and for certain you will NEVER need your brake fluid changed as long as you own the car (unless a major problem occurs with the brakes). In other words, its just a way for the dealer to make money because if you don't take the car there for the maintainance schedule, they'll never see you again after you buy the car!
LOL

are you serious about the brake fluid? I thought at least some stuff neeed to be done to the thing, lol But hey, not needing to spend money on that stuff is okay with me if it doesn't need to be done

Oh yeah, and about the oil changes.. is it really okay to do em every 7500 miles like hte book says?
