Thanks - your right ... mine failed at 135K miles ... another 135K miles from 
now ... will take a while and I will be at almost 300K miles and by then an 
Accord will be ripping to 60 in 5 seconds and getting 40 mpg with 4 electric 
motors producing 100 HP each and a 2 cylinder motor to recharge the batteries.
