What's this?

Interesting story from Honda service today. The intake rep told me


that recently a customer with a brand new Honda brought the car back in after putting only 150 miles on it. Check engine light had come on. Honda brought the car in, kept checking deeper into the engine where, finally, they discovered the engine was missing one piston. Woof.
