You know, another dream of mine that I've had ever since I was 16, is to take a cb7 coupe (specifically a 1990 Accord EX 2 door - My first car) and drop a 350 in it with a 6 speed and RWD. Do you have any idea how sick that would be???!!!! Oh man, even after all these years, I still love the idea! Just rollin' up on a Camaro or Mustang in that thing would be sooo fun!!! 3" pipes comin' out both sides, right under the driver/passenger door! Can you see it?!??!! OMG that thing would be a monster!

So now Honda will come out with a rock hard brake pad compound; That will cause glazed rotors, and there will be a lawsuit over the brake noise.
Just like the front pads on the 98+ Accords.
Dealer techs will get to resurface rotors under warranty for 3/10s per car.
Been there, Done it, Seen the movie, Got the T-shirt
Now that 20 year veteran techs can only make minimum wage because of falling flat rate pay, why not beat them down some more.
Someday the american public will wake up and realize all the top techs are gone, and nobody is around to diagnose the problems.
But hey when ya get that JD POWERS Survey make sure to insist on cheaper main't costs. Manufacturers don't cut pay to service writers, service managers, or parts employees. They only cut pay to the guy in the trenches doing the real work that the customer wants completed to perfection, for no pay.

KISS MY Butt !!!! I can't believe somebody beat me to it! I'm so pissed!
....but yeah, that's exactly what I'm talkin' about! That **** looks sooo sick, doesn't it?!?!?!?!?!?! Imagine a '90 EX coupe (or even a '95) with a 400hp 350, 6 speed short shift, 4.10's in the back Flare the fenders a little bit with 20x8's in the front, 22x10's out back, so it has that crouching tiger stance. OOoooWeeeee! That's me right there!
