My first Acura

Hi,
I know this post is useless without pics! But I haven’t had time to post them.

Any how, I’m the proud new owner of a 06 ASM/Ebony –Navi TSX. I picked it up Friday from Hillside Acura on Long Island and I have been all smiles since. I have been car shopping for about two years and trolling this site and the TL site for about a year. I have a few questions.

What size are the front speakers?
Should I switch to synthetic oil?
Can I use regular gas?

Just Kidding!!!

I named the Nav system Stella after Harry Mudd’s (Star Trek) nagging android replica of his wife. It’s only been on weekend and my wife things I’m having an affair! So far two of my neighbors asked if the car cost $42000 USD, I just smiled at them.

That’s not my helper, that’s me in 1963 or 4 changing a tire on a Studebaker!

I’ve been a motorhead ever since.

Thanks to my real helper (my 17 year old son) I can post my first pic.

I’m in Shirley (smile when you say that) but the way my wife takes care of the landscaping you’d think it was Northport. I work in Hauppauge (the map says Commack). Haven’t had the car to work yet, I picked it up Friday and I’ve been on vacation this week.
