For the sake of full disclosure I've been wondering lately if I didn't make a mistake buying a new TSX instead of something used, not necessarily a TSX. I got a good deal on a used Odyssey recently, a better deal than I though possible for any vehicle at the time I bought the TSX. While I have the benefit of knowing the new car's history and I've maintained it well, the difference in price is probably enough to pay for an engine rebuild.

I was joking, nimrod. ... No, actually you've made for enjoyable reading for several weeks, I guess you got laid or promoted at work or something. But from time to time you state your opinion, and when someone has a contrary view, you start taking it personally and lash back. You seem to overlook that you type it, we read it, mission accomplished; getting someone to say, "wow, you're right and you've altered my viewpoint" is the rare success. Usually the best we can expect here is someone reading thoughtfully. Which I think has already been done. You seem to want to go further and brand those who disagree with you "cowards" and such. Very predictable ... and very boring. Oh, and very good at devaluing anything you have to say.
Nope, "ignore" is not a permanent purgatory. I can make up my mind just fine, and have made up my mind that at times you're rather rambunctious in your treatment of others, so are we all, and so you're worth listening to most of the time. In the past, I've squelched you for a while, had a nice respite from wackura-isms, then taken it off when I regain interest in your viewpoint. I refuse to brand you as a stereotype and never listen to you again. That'd be,... well, stupid.

And if none of this makes sense, settle for "I know you are but what'm I?"

Sometimes it's worth remembering that you made the decision at a certain point in time, with certain information available to you. In retrospect, I wonder if I'd been better off getting that hot red IS250 for $18k, or holding out for a CPO RSX, or maybe a cheaper Celica or Camry or Altima or Accord, but ... I did a load of research, test drove a few cars, and grabbed what I wanted for a price which Consumer Reports indicated a better than average price for a CPO TSX. Done deal. I try not to look back. Was it a reckless purchase? I dunno, did you do it on impulse, or think about it and review the options?

I definitely should have bought the CBR1000RR instead. And put a baby pillion seat on it.

What options? You mean the only option there is -- navi? Other than that, I love the TSX because the TSX is what it is. It's sporty but sophisticated, and it's luxurious but not over the top.

I don't think cars like Camry's are bad but when they range from all manual (no power windows, locks) to all leather (pretty much like the Lexus IS250) then it's hard to be proud of what you own.

I'm very proud of my TSX for what it is!

Yeah definitely. I hope to keep the car for at least 100K miles. I just reached 30K this weekend. So far, the only things that went wrong with the car were the Door Actuator in the front passenger side door and the center armrest storage bin hinge.

Both were replaced with warranty.

oh, and not to mention the shitty michellin stockies.
