    You wizard you. Brilliant! You're the total package. Being in the industry for a while now, I've seen how rare it is for someone to have a deep understanding of both the mechanical, and electrical components that make these machines run. Hats off to you!

    Thanks for the compliment! Typically folks don't even know what it is. I'm sort of a tinkerer at home and design really stout downhole tools at work. This was sort of the project where "it all came together".

    Hahaha, you're like the advanced version of me! I tinker quite a bit, but mostly just break things.

    ...^^^... The best dealer for sales and especially service in Atlanta is: ... Gwinnett Place Honda ... I have had several Hondas, including a Ridgeline, and GPH was always the best. Unbelievable great service and I normally don't trust dealers.

    The Ridgeline was too car like for me, but great for a family and the QC was excellent.

    I wish that Honda would make a "real truck" too ... I might jump from Toyota for it.

    ...^^^... I had a dark gray CRV - and that was the coolest car the way the interior worked. If I ever get a small crossover-SUV again ... it will be a CRV.

    Thinking about a CRV - AWD, next if I don't need a truck.

    Got my wife a 2016 CRV SE a little over a year. She loves it and the price isn't bad either, helps I get the employee discount, lol. we pay next to nothing for a lease on it. And can't beat 31 mpg highway for a family hauler.
