Saw an Asian dude (that narrows it down!) in a PWP TSX with Chrome rims on 96E in/around Novi, MI on Saturday. He was definitly utilizing that VTEC!!!

I was in a CGP tinted TSX trying to keep up.

i see this pwp all the time on main street flushing. you were parked in front of tai pan bakery/HK supermarket in the afternoon. 04/05 w/ a-spec kit and wing, painted red calipers, window/sunroof visors, and the injen plate frame. funny thing is, i saw your car again coming onto northern from the van wyk at the intersection around 7:30.

I actually saw another TSX in Cedar Rapids!! Granted, it was from Missouri, but it was here. Royal Blue with a pin stripe, it had just gotten washed before it stopped off at Hyvee. I parked next to it, even though it was pretty close to the door, as I figured I'd be safe from door dings.

Saw a NBP TSX yesterday at Santa Anita mall at a stop sign. I nodded, he nodded back which I thought was totally cool (never happened before). His car appeared stock.

Saw an 04/05 silver TSX in Norwalk, CT today. He was dropped, couldn't tell any other mods. He pulled up to me and asked about my catback, and then we parted ways.

Sighting in Nashville

I was taking a leisurely drive into Nashville yesterday (last day of summer, Sep 22, 2007) and spotted this Milano Red driven by a young lass. She looked like a Vanderbilt student as she was turning off near the university - not that I was following her or anything - honest! I was heading to Centennial Park.

The plates are from Texas.

Not a T-, but an RSX, twin pipes and a custom rear bumper ... that will look NICE when it's painted. Think it was a pre-2005 model. I-40 near exit 291.

Nice feeling was gone when a fucktard in a black TL swerved around me and nearly hit me. That was my thanks for punching a hole past a rolling roadblock. Last time I do him a favor. Then again, the 'tards were out in force today, 2 others changed lanes, no signal, < 1 car length distance, but they both had phones glued to their cheeks.

I tell ya, I'm gonna get an RF disrupter with a 50' radius one of these days....

Haha, I'll probably confuse you for a coworker: he drives his "rust bucket" to work (an aging Integra), but lately has been driving the family TL. I have seen a NBP TSX recently, but I think it was someone else. Maybe the one that was for sale this summer.

But if a Tess-X driver waves,... and I'm not comatose or blissed out,... count on it.

I gave a thumbs up once to another TSX driver, and the ass clown tried to run me off the road....I had my daughter in my car, too.

I stopped waving ever since. To paraphrase a popular military rule, I will not wave until waved upon.

There are too many people with TSXs who could care less when they see other people driving one. I think waving to other TSXs in town makes it look like you're imagining a camaraderie exists where one most certainly doesn't. On the other hand if you're out in the middle of Buttfuck, South Dakota where Japanese cars are rare to begin with, then another TSX is like a little oasis in a strange land, and waving is welcomed.

totally not the case where I am. If i see a TSX that is in clean condition and a guy is driving (sorry ladies, its just guys tend to be more into their cars), I'll wave and now they usually always wave back.

maybe there are alot of tsx's where you are but here in nc there are more tl's. I do not see many tsx's so I think it is great to spot them in my travels. Yes i do wave and if I can I talk to the people in the car.

We need a hand gesture that asks, "You're not an ass clown who'll get bent if someone waves 'Hi," are you?"

Sounds like here. But if I recognize a bud from AZ, then.... Maybe we need a "Type-AZ" badge we can put next to the plate. Yeah, I don't wave at girls either, Iakonafuji. Last woman in a TSX around here was Grandma. "Yo, older babe, what's cookin'?"

Yep. Saw a TL on the way home. One crowed my lane during a reckless change earlier this week. Ensures I NEVER get a TL. But at work, we have two ASMs and a PWP in our garage. Three RSXs at last count, too (that's what initially got me looking at Acuras).

I assume people waving to me want directions so I make a point to not notice. Go to a gas station and get a map. The light will turn green any goddam second.

I hate when people try to ask for directions from a parallel car at a red light, and then when they light turns green they have the nerve to hold up cars behind them if the direction giving runs into overtime, which it invariably does.

"Pardon me, did you know your gas cap is off?"

"I couldn't help notice the child in back isn't strapped in ... a cop will pull you over for that...."

"Your car's beautiful ... just thought I'd tell you."

"Do you have a phone I can use? It's urgent."

"Are you married?"

... Never assume.

Four more reasons why you definately don't want to make eye contact. The fifth - well that's subjective.

More Triangle TSX' ... a Black (midnight blue?) TSX last night at sunset, I-40W at 291 or so. Need to remember your headlights, bud.

This morning, a nice carbon grey model, tailgating, tsk tsk tsk. But I-40 in the morning is a horrendous butthead-o-rama extravaganza, so even me just doing 1-2 MPH below the limit is probably egregious to more than a few.

I thought I saw a black TSX westbound this morning, around exit 289, 290. One of us?

most of the time you have better luck finding someone on here if they are modded. I see at least 5 stock TSXs a day and I am sure none of them are on this board.
