Yeah, Honda even gave me a glass that says "Drink My Exhaust" on it. That way when I'm on the road and need some good old H2O I just run to the tail pipe:wink

Unless I missed it, the article didn't say how long it takes to actually fill up the fuel tank. I assume the tank on yours was close to empty when you got it. So, how long did it take ya?

Jim,

Can you please request a few additional ACCESS stickers so I can put'em on my GT?

And.....I think you might want to consider the new "centerbolt" wheels.

Yes, you are correct the tank was almost empty when I filled it up. It only took a few minutes! It is very similar to a regular gasoline fill up. The main difference (as you can see in the picture) you insert the nozzle and then turn a handle until it locks. Then it automatically starts filling.

Chris,

Will I see you tomorrow? If so, I can introduce you to my Honda buddies and you can present your case for the stickers:wink

Hi Jim,

I sat with you and your family at the Rally. Very exciting car, congratulations.:thumbsup

I was wondering if you were going to do any mods, such as muffler delete or slicks? :rofl

if you accidentally filled it up with unleaded instead of Hydrogen, will it void the warranty? Also, can you tell us more about the Launch Control?
