Not too many details to report -- they are sort of all the same

But -- she's an 06 AT non-navi silver/ebony -- 7 miles on her when I signed the papers.

Nice. Welcome to the forum

...And I don't know to tell you this, but looks like there's a guy tampering with the front end of your brand new TSX

If you really want to know.....

01 May 2006: Purchased a brand new VW Jetta TDI for about $25k
02 May 2006: DSG Transmission DIES
-- they replace the transmission -- yes, i could have had a new car, but thats a whole other story!!
1000 miles later: Front CV shaft busts
1000 miles after that: Electrical systems starts to go haywire
1 mile after that: I call VW and tell them that I am DONE with their crappy brand.

So -- Here I am!! Thats the very brief story -- if you want more, PM me.

You should have called them up and said, "TAKE ME TO AN ACURA DEALER!" Then call and shut up dorkoff.

Congrats on your purchase. I have a SSM as well

Every time I see stories like this, I think back to the place I worked before this one. About five guys jumped on the bandwagon and bought Jettas. Normally, I'd have no problem with that, but they loved to rub everyone's noses in it. It was almost like a high school clique. Unfortunately, I left that job before I got to see how well they all lasted.

Sorry about your troubles, but it's kind of like a relationship. You'd rather know that the girl/guy/car is a jerk right away, rather than wasting quality time!

Haha -- You can TRY to hit on me -- But after 8 years of involvement in the Jeep community, I know better than to mix pleasure with pleasure

And -- yes, I know about the plate thing -- I am out of town and havent had the time. Perhaps tonight Ill sit down to do the edit.
