LOLLL!!! Just noticed the clock in my TSX
I can't believe I had never seen it before! I was desparately looking for my Cell-phone to figure out what time it was, and out of nowhere I noticed the clock! it's nice!
It's kind'a hidden though.
just felt like sharing that with you guys.

My dad and I both groaned.

A lot of mom stories on this thread....
Had my TSX since March and did not know the "remote window down" feature until a few weeks ago. I learned it from the "It's the little things" thread.

I usually ask the car what time it is because I’m too lazy to look at the clock. My son loves it when I do that.

Well this is my first post, but I have a mother story that dominates all of yours.
I'm 19, live at home, and go to Mercer Community in NJ, I drive a stock 05 Red TSX 5AT.
Anyways, My mother's Deville, was in the shop, so to go to an apointment she had to drive my car. But I'm getting ahead of myself, The day before when I drove her to drop off her car at the shop, on the way home she said "Let me drive, so I can get used to your car." I said "There's really no need, it practically drives itself." but boy was a wrong.
She goes to and fro to her apointment while I was asleep, and when I wake up I see that she's back. I ask her how her drive went and she says fine but "You'r car is really loud". Uh oh. I said "What are you talking about, the TSX is very quiet, did you put it into manual?". She goes "No, I don't know how to drive manual, and I thought it was automatic." I said "It is, but it has a feature to make it manual without a clutch", so she says "Well I put it in M" and I stop here there and say "What do you think M means!?!" Cause at this point I knew what she had done, and if you can't guess either she put the Car in Sport Shift mode and drove in first gear, as she was unaware that she needed to change gears.
So I ask "Didn't you see the RPM's flying off the handel?"
She says "No, Who looks at RPM's anyway".
And in a TSX, HOW CAN YOU MISS IT!?
My question is, was she in 1st gear the entire time, or did it just redline and then switch gears as a safety method?
Oh, and we're not asian.

I dont think the Acura's system upshifts, cuz twice now I've slammed the pedal and forgot I was in manual mode (whooops), but it does downshift automatically. I cant imagine her being able to strictly drive in first gear because, the car would jerk around too much. Your mother wouldn't have been able to really drive the car to smoothly at all. I know the VW/Audi's system upshifts/downshifts though back in my passat days.
