'nuther n00b

Hi everyone -

I'm rejoining the Acura fold, 16 months after selling my modded '01 CLS.

Just picked up this '05 MSM over Quartz/Auto/Navi ride. It's a creampuff, only 30K miles on it. Still smells new!

AZ was always a tremendous resource for me with the CL. I've been hanging out in Car Talk since selling it, but plan on USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION a lot in days to come!

welcome back-many miles of safe driving- excellent cars. I own a 06 6MT/wnav tsx, bought new 11/17/06. It now has just over 62,000 problem free miles. Still has the original OEM tires but I will be getting new ones within the next 3,000 miles.

Right now, nothing other than a new set of tires. Come spring time, I will sell either the TSX or the Miata (or at least that's what my wife thinks ). Which ever one I keep will def. get a drop and some suspension bits. Maybe a CAI.

Unfortunately, I will relocating to Medford (Dreadford) this weekend. That's why I bought the TSX - to drive between PDX and Medford 2-3 times a month....

Thanks for the invitation, though - I hope it's a good meetup!

Lol... The original owner had it installed so that she could use her cassette style iPod interface.

Talk about rare factory installed features!

It also has a stupid, aftermarket (non-Acura) plastic spoiler. I'd ditch that today if it didn't require welding up the holes and repainting....

Is that a brake light in the spoiler ... did the prev. owner take the hump off the rear deck?

It gets driven every day. She only works about 3 miles from work, so we fortunatley have very low mileage! It also helps that we are homebodies pretty much on the weekends and enjoy just chillin.
