A New Car!

[octothorpe]

Well, I just dropped the dime on a new 2006 Acura TSX.

6spd Manual Tansmission w/ Navi

Because these cars don't actually exist in New England, they're ordering it for me. I should take possession of the car in 2-6 weeks.

I'll drive it bone-stock for 5k miles. That should shake out any potential problems. I've never heard of an Acura having a lemon problem, but there is always a first time.

Oddly enough, I think my first modification will be a proper rear light cluster with *amber* turn indicators courtesy of danthered.

Then I get new wheels. I can't even think of riding on 17" rims with a 50% sidewall.
Shortly thereafter I nuke the drive-by-wire system, and send in the brain to Hondata for adjustment.


Yay!!

I did something similar with my leased G35. Test drove the vehicle, then did every else over the phone with the local lease company (they did a perfect job in making the deal happen).

Oh, FYI, just ordered a set of new tires for the G through Tire Rack. They've been great this time and in the past. Highly recommended.

oh, I am *all* about Tirerack.com

I've given them huge amounts of business, and they've never done me wrong!
