Farewell Pictures
17 months and 17K miles of rock-solid trouble-free miles. I really enjoyed my TSX and it was hard to see it go when Mr. used car manager drove it away to the used car lot. Sadly, I didn't ensure it a good new home. Instead, I traded it away for much less than what it was worth. It's a lot like dropping off a devoted pet at the pound. The horror. I know you all want to cry right now but please compose yourselves. heheh
Here are some final parting shots. My TSX was in perfect condition when I turned it into the dealership. Looks almost as good as it did when I first drove it away from the Acura dealership two summers ago.

On the bright side, I took delivery of my new ride on wednesday. It was my dealer's first one and it arrived as a late xmas present to myself. Some pics...

Great choice! Lots of luck with it.
Funny thing is, I went to the other way; from an Audi TT roadster to our new TSX.
The TT didn't accomodate our new son very well.

This is the second blue 6MT that someone traded in during the past week that someone on the board may have been interested in. I think some folks are missing some better selling opportunities.

JUMPIN JUPITER'S WITNESSES BATMAN! WHAT A SUPRISE..
here i was reading about what you did thinking you traded up to like a 35k car, then you drop that. TSX is good, but the SLK55 AMG is my new realistic dream roadster. I envy you, very nice trade!![Clap](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/clap.gif)
edit; it was masmole! i didn't care to see the user name. You know, I actually want to attend UIC's GPPA program of Dentistry
