My 2000 Honda Accord V6 needs a new transmission!

My 2000 Honda Accord V6 needs a new transmission!

lol, do you know what the typical lifespan of a police cruiser is? about 2 years, if its particularly well taken care of. if you had to buy a new car or do a major service tune up every two years your cost to repair goes skyhigh. if your gonna say something, at least know what the hell you're...
