Metro), but the loaner request was smart thinking. Here's my dilemma. Because of all the salt on the road for the snowy/icy weather conditions, I'd rather drag out picking it up fresh and clean, with less risk of ice and snow as we head into March, but I wonder how long I can bide my time with the dealership. I also wonder if there are other downsides to that strategy besides not having my car. (I'm not too concerned about having it before the weekend because I won't be able to drive it anyway.)
I'd rather have the car in my garage instead of it being out there in the storm. That's just my feelings towards it though, I'm sure there's no issues having it outside of the dealership for a few days.

Back to the ice/snow/salt issue, suburban living is differerent from urban. Where I live, there aren't private garages in even upscale city neighborhoods like mine. It's on-sreet parking, so I can't give the car refuge from the storm when I take it home. Urban maintenance: that may need to be a new thread.

Won't be too spectacular (since it'll be stock), but I'll be installing my OEM Kit this Friday and then hopefully getting my Eibach Pro-System Kit within the month. Then comes some wheels

Bong,
Been reading your posts for the past couple months. Gotta say, I'm pulling (and everyone else on this forum) for you man to get your car soon so that you can be an official TSX owner. I'm impressed that you purchased all those mods even before you even have the dang car!!! Good Luck and let us know when you pick it up.

And about my pre car purchases, I wanted to have at least the OEM Kit ready to go when I took delivery of the car. I can't wait to install it!
