Another new TSX owner intro
I've lurked here and on the forums of the other cars we were looking at for a while now. At the end of November we bought a new 06 TSX. It's an Alabaster Silver Metallic 5AT with Nav. We are very happy with it so far. I'm really looking forward to our annual Christmas trip out to Arizona this year.
Anyway I finally got a picture of it and figured I'd do the intro thing. It took a while to get around to that with the snow that hit earlier this month, work and everything. 10" of snow shuts this town down.
My first four door and my first automatic in about 15 years!!! I'm still getting used to the fact that I don't have to push a clutch in and that the back seat has it's own doors!

congrats!
I did this for quite awhile, and I still feel like I'm forgetting to do something when I start the car.

Man I just picked my brand new 2006 CGP 5AT w/ navi and spoiler tonight. Judging by the hour drive home, I'm gonna love this car. I kind of wish I could have gotten the 6MT but there werent many options left for 2006. And the navigation system is especially sweet!

congrats on your purchase. i remember when driving an auto for the first time after coming from a manual i used to always try to depress the "clutch pedal" everytime I brake. i still do that sometimes....

Congrats and welcome!
I went from a paddle shifter, so I was used to the no clutch thing, but like others have said, forget to put the damn thing in park...and when in manual mode, my instinct wants to pull the shifter towards me to shift up and push to down shift...which is backwards of how the TSX wants me to do it, thank god for rev limits

Welcome to AZ. Beautiful car (just like looking at mine!!!)! Congrats on the purchase, I'm sure you'll love your TSX! 
Still do that whenever I jump into my wife's Pathfinder. Slam the brake pedal with my left foot... she makes fun of me whenever she's in the car!
