New owner in Austin, TX

Picked up my 07 TSX with 108K miles from Bay Area and drove it home (1760 miles) . Awesome car, feels very nimble. I am prior Honda/Acura owner so this car feels at home to me (see sig). The car is in awesome mechanical shape and interior is also great, but the exterior has a lot of surface scratches from using auto car washes during the life of the car. I'll have to work on polishing them out.

Question - the glove compartment seems to be stuck, not locked. Any tips on that? Need the owner's manual

My usage is going to be secondary DD and some HPDE days per year. So, I am going to focus on suspension, fatter RSB, tires and brakes and get into bolt ons and tune down the line. Yes, I know, I have an addiction.

Congrats on the new ride! I have an 06 TSX 5AT w/ navi since new with +140,000 miles on her now. The only issues I've had was the front passenger upper control arm at 100K, new alternator 2 years ago, and leaky power steering pump last year (easy fix with a used eBay pump for $100 shipped). Still looks and drives like new. Expect to see +200,000 miles without missing a beat.

Is there a chance the lock is broken for the glove box? That is the only reason I could think of why the glove box wouldn't open using the key?

Glove box opened fine once, I was able to remove the manuals and then it is stuck again I dont think it is the lock.
