Noob Acura owner saying hello
Hi Folks,
Just wanted to say hello from the noob. First-time Acura owner here. We picked up our TSX 5AT/Nav last night. The Mrs. picked the royal blue color, and it'll be her daily driver...to the tune of 80 miles/day.
Very nice car, and an excellent buying experience @ Mike Harvey Acura in Burlingame. Honestly, before hitting the Acura store I was convinced we'd end up in an Audi A3. The Acura was cheaper, bigger, and most important...my wife liked it more.
I'm REALLY digging this forum. I'm a veteran of a number of truck forums, and the amount of technical and real world ownership info available here is awesome.
Take care,
Jerry

Thanks!
We've got a couple of Denalis in the family...an '03 Yukon and an '05 Sierra.
Went for another ride in the TSX tonight. What a terrific car.

Nice car and nice trucks. Like those big wheels on there. What are they, 20s? They look good. Not so big that it looks like someone pimped your ride and your truck is now useless as a truck, but not too small that the sidewalls have that ultra-puffy aspect ratio GM has stuck with for years on its factory wheel/tire packages.

Nice trucks man! I actually traded my 2002 pewter Denali for my TSX. I had 99,000 miles on my truck in 3.5 years! I see you're from the Bay Area as well. Maybe I'll see ya around.

Actually, here are two pics of my Denali I traded in for the TSX. 
I miss her! 
And since the weather here in NorCal has been so shitty, I only have 1 pic of my TSX that I took with my camera phone the day after I bought her. Here it is with more to comke as the skies clear up:

EastBayTSX...does your first name begin with an 'O' by any chance? I've seen that Denali before. 
I believe you were very well known on the SUV site I moderate....talk about a small world, huh?
Thanks for the comments, folks. The SUV is sitting on 22's and a 2/3 drop, the pickup is running 20's with a 1/2 drop. Both still haul people and lots of gear. I'm definitely a mod freak, but the Mrs. is saying "hands off" of her TSX. I did talk her into the faux wood steering wheel and extra trim pieces. I doubt she'll let me go for 18's and there's no way she'll stand for a drop. Sigh.
I am looking forward to giving the car its first detail. I have a couple of topcoats I'm anxious to try on that dark blue pearl.

Omar, it's great to finally 'meet' you! You were held in very high regard on SUVW and I joined at about the time you disappeared.
Beautiful looking car, by the way...
