Considering that a security guard has no power what- so-ever, or even work directly for Honda. You have no beef with Honda. The guard probably did as much as she was permitted to do per the company procedures. |

You claim a piece of cardboard was the ONLY thing you could use to make a makeshift oil cap and that's silly. On I 95 there are about a zillion plastic soda bottles and other assorted types of discarded litter, very simple to fashion a good makeshift oil cap from something discarded or even something you had. Then you drove 450 miles? Are you saying that in 450 miles there was not one Wal-Mart or other store or service station where you could have bought something to use for an oil cap? I don't get that part of the story at all. I realize you were in a hurry, but it would have taken maybe 10 minutes to stop. I'm sure you stopped to go to the bathroom, get a bottle of soda or coffee, etc. You took the time to go to the Honda factory, you could have taken the time to stop elsewhere. |

I don't know what that has to do with anything, but the OP felt the need to let everyone know the guard was an African-American. I wonder what her version of the story is? "Last night I was working my shift and some crazy dude shows up out of nowhere at 1am wanting to buy an oil cap for his car". "Seriously, he drives right up to the gate and asks me to sell him an oil cap, he thinks because it's a Honda factory I can just run in and grab an oil cap for him. Oh yeah, we got hundreds of oil caps, but ther're all attached to engines! Bwahahaha! What does he think this is Autozone? Come on, I told him to go to the Exxon station but he seemed kind of pissed but that's all I could do since I'm just a security guard and have strict orders. Now if it was Denzel Washington, I would have given him the oil cap off of my own car, but since he looked more like Carrot Top..." |

I can see you're a smart ass. I hope something similar happens to you in the future. And no, a plastic bottle cap is not going to work to plug the hole that is much larger. And what good is it going to do to stop at a wal-mart? If they don't have a honda oil cap, what good is it going to do? The cardboard I had worked as good as anything else I could have bought and wasted my money on BESIDES an actual OIL CAP. And I'm sure they have countless amounts of these at the factory that aren't being used at the moment. You're a ing jerk, you know that?

Yes, and with that attitude I'm just as surprised as the next guy that a security guard that doesn't work for Honda, at 1am didn't go looking for one to accommodate you. |

I can see you're a smart ass. I hope something similar > happens to you in the future. I hope so too, I won't do something stupid like you did. It's not rocket science to plug a hole. With your attitude, I can see why the Honda guard sent you on your way empty handed. > And no, a plastic bottle cap is not going > to work to plug the hole that is much larger. And what good is it going > to do to stop at a wal-mart? If they don't have a honda oil cap, what > good is it going to do? You did check to see if a bottle cap wouldn't fit before shooting your mouth off, right? Anyhow, read what I wrote smart guy, I said a "bottle" not a "bottle cap", but since you brought it up, I went and got a Pepsi bottle and inverted it in my oil fill hole and guess what? Yeah, it's a perfect fit. Have a look see: http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=o08jev I then cut off all but a few inches of the bottle and drove a total of 130 miles. Not a drop of oil leaked out. Have a look. Actual photo after driving 130 miles: http://tinypic.com/view/?pic=o08k74 The inverted cap by itself is a perfect fit, I left some of the bottle on to prevent the cap from falling into the engine on the off chance that heat caused it to shrink. It didn't. In regards to Wal-Mart, I wrote "something to use for an oil cap" not a "Honda oil cap". See, that's part of your problem, a narrow mind, not able to see what's going on. For crying out loud, it's an opening that needed plugged, how hard is it? >The cardboard I had worked as good as anything > else I could have bought and wasted my money on BESIDES an actual OIL > CAP. Oh sure it did, that's why you're worried your engine is full of cardboard. A bottle is free and works great. > And I'm sure they have countless amounts of these at the factory > that aren't being used at the moment. Oh really? How many auto assembly factories have you been in? I've been in Marystown, Lordstown, Tarrytown, Baltimore truck/bus, and countless others. I've seen many caps, all attached to engines. BTW, Timmonsville SC is an assembly plant for Honda ATV's and watercraft. Let me know which one of those oil caps will fit your car. >You're a ing jerk, you know that? Your attutude and crying tell me more about you than I ever wanted to know. My advice would be to go get a Pepsi bottle and shove it up your ass! |
Re: Honda Factory BS
Hmmm, sounds like yet another guard shack genius "just following
policy". Nothing particular to Honda about that! John |
