Finally picked mine up Xmas eve!

So I finally drove it home on Christmas Eve, what a cool present to myself! NBP/Ebony/AT with Navi. Just got home from a trip to Sacramento area. What a cool ride! I love the Navi, XM comedy channel is too cool! Driving home in the pouring rain sucked big time but the car handled just fine!! Only about 300 miles left on the break in...then we'll see what this baby will do! Still waiting on the underbody kit and rear wing which I hope to get installed soon. Pics when it's all complete. Did I mention I love this car???

Well, the manual says 600 miles with no hard acceleration or hard braking, speaking of hard braking, I can tell you, the brakes work good! Driving home there were many, many, many spin out accidents along the freeway near my home. One of which had just happened in front of me and thank you ABS brakes!!!!!! I don't know why driving in the rain must be so hard for some people. Anyway, I will get to 600 miles and drive it harder and then around 1000 really have some fun

Congrats on your new ride!

Just got mine on the 15th. PWP
20% Charcoal tint all the way around w/ strip across front top.
mudflaps w/ all weather front/back & trunk tray.
Moonroof wind dam.
Just hit 1000 miles on mine. Handles well. Quicker than my old 96 Honda Accord EX.
Love XM. I think I am going to pony up for the subscription. Haven't gone on a long road trip yet. Will probably do so this week. Will post Pics soon. I never loved driving so much!!

Long trips with XM are awesome! I was on the Comedy channel almost the whole way! Other drivers seeing me laughing outloud alone in my car must be thinking this guy is losing it, hahahaha. I may pony up for XM just for the comedy channel! Man, this car is a joy to drive!

Hey Tim,

Congrats on your delivery. I would have bought mine from Pleasanton as well, but I received the call from Concord on the morning of the 22nd that my car had come in just off the truck. Drive carefully. It's going to rain all week.

Enough rain! I think I'll drive my truck until the rain lets up. Then again I'm going to Vegas in a few days so my TSX will be safe and comfy locked up in the garage
