Hey man,
were you going to downtown san diego, or headed to I-5, to head to a place
that will get to past the smoke test.
actually all models of the 3rd gen is about the same in price,
unless you find a low mileage 3rd gen
and the later model of the 4gen
are: 98,99
i wish you the best,

Wow that sucks. I thought I feel bad since mine is in the shop for weeks upon weeks when I am working on it. I guess its better to get it fix than have it explode or a wheel fall off. Hope you get another one they are the best cars around.

Not to burst bubbles....but flying by traffic at 110mph that happens to have honda's don't count as smoking. Especially when you pull over with no engine power, and your engine is the one that is doing the smoking. 
It's like me smoking a semi-truck on the freeway....er wait....I think I have a picture of that....
