hard to believe it has was 8 years ago today my mom and I went to Lehigh Valley Acura in PA to get my new tsx. I was so excited. Many wonderful memories but now it has become just transportation. I do not take care of it as I did in the past. It does get the normal maintenance but as far as washing it, it has been neglected. I do not drive it much so mileage is only 170K+miles. I now use a battery tender.

 

Congrats on your 8th B-day for your TSX. My 06 TSX turned 8 six months ago in May. It is now my son's high school daily driver since March/14. I only have 115,000 miles on my 06 and I want to keep her around close to the 200K mark for my son to use for HS and College years. I would love to replace the aging TSX; but, it is such a damn good vehicle with absolutely nothing wrong with it. I know I would regret it as soon as I do.

I take all my vehicles once a year to a detail shop in the spring for a complete wash/wax for about $60-$75. It can get rid of door ding scuffs and knock a few years off the paint. Switching to syn oil might be better for the engine if the TSX is going to sit for a long time (coats engine parts better and greatly limits acid build up compared to reg oil).

 

hey girlie!
glad you're still posting!

take care!

Happy Birthday to your TSX.

 

Happy Anniversary nj2pa2nc. From reading your past posts, I know it has been tough for you the last couple of years but you should post more often. I have lost two friends within the last year. I knew them both from the same place of employment. They both knew each other well. One past away at the young age of 58 of pancreatic cancer. 5 months later, my other friend dies suddenly of a heart attack at an even younger age of 55. Needless to say, I was left reeling.

But enough of the sad news. Take care and keep on motoring.

 

I have a 2006 Acura Tsx with only 38k miles on it.

 

still a baby

 

Happy birthday to your tsx!
