Ha, I see there is a continued need for sightings threads. There seem to be at least 2-3 new ones a week, so I figure mine (this) is almost certainly not the first.

Saw my first TSX since I started this thread. CG on 101S at 9 AM between Hillsdale and 92. Youngish male in a baseball cap with a similar-age young lady in the front seat. I changed lanes for a closer look, but there wasn't much else going on, plus traffic was restrictive (it was stop-and-go morning rush). Fess up!

I saw 2 in one day outside of dealership. There are A LOT of TSXs around here. I'm also beginning to see some of the same ones..

On a side note, someone from my High School has a TSX. Not sure who it is.

Crazytree

I see one every two days too... but then again that's considering:

1. I commute through downtown LA everyday
2. I live in an area that is 75% Asian

Ever been to Torrance

bowersan

I hear Torrance is almost as asian as Toronto.. which is 2nd only to Richmond, B.C in terms of Asianess..


Not that theres anything wrong with that....!

Toronto is nowhere near Richmond B.C. , and is definately not second. If anything Vancouver (although maybe Markham) is second, in Canada anyways.

Did you know that Toronto is the most multiculteral city in the world?

I just realized something about "Asianess", but in terms of foreign versus domestic brands of cars. Asian and European makes together are in the clear majority--at least here at work, where on any given work day thousands of cars are in the lots or garages.

I don't know how it compares to LA or Toronto, but the Greater San Francisco Bay Area is also culturally and ethnically diverse.

bowersan

Roger that, you're coming loud and clear....

10-4.

I second Vancouver as higher in "asianess" than Toronto. I once took a road trip to Toronto though with the stated purpose of "to find good dim sum." It's a cool city.

Don't know about Richmond, BC.. but I lived in Richmond, VA and it's pretty low on the Asian scale. I'll bet its higher on the redneck scale though.

On sightings... still waiting for that Arctic Blue TSX. Where are you???

jackspat2

Actually, most of my friends are asain now that I think about it. We have a lot of foreign industry. During the 80s and 90s, we had a lot of in flow of Asains because of Honda, Toyota and Nissan all have their headquaters based here or another city over.

Is Torrance well known at all? It's just a small suburb of Los Angeles.

I saw yet another TSX They're becoming popular...

MSB128

Naptown reporting....

Are there any other users here from Indy? I just saw what I believe to be the same NBP heading north on Meridian that I saw a few weeks ago. I have still yet to see any other ones, aside from a MSM a month and a half ago anywhere around town.

Naptown out.

jcg878

You should go to Rutgers when you graduate if you want familiar surroundings. Most of my college friends (and my fiance, who I met there) are Asian. I heard that it was named the 'most diverse' university in the US... surprised to hear that it passed Berkeley, though NJ is a diverse state.

Not on the east coast.


p.s. damn it... almost just lost power. It's really windy outside, and I'm far from the hurricane's center

Hm, well, last year, I met a cute girl from Torrance. So I'll sure remember it for a while.

When I was in school, I met people from other nearby towns (Palos Verdes, LA, Burbank, Orange...). Plus, I have a friend who went to Pomona, so I used to hear a good bit about the greater LA area.

jcg878

Well, now that I said I've never heard of it, I've heard/seen it mentioned twice in the past week. 1st some dude in Boogie Nights was from there, and then I read this article by someone from UCLA-Harborview Medical Center in Torrance.

Funny how that seems to happen.

Crazytree

There's a Filipina girl I want to nail that lives in Torrance. Need to finish typing before gf walks back into room!!!!!!!!

I saw an MSM TSX this morning. It was merging onto 101 North at Whipple in Redwood City. It was either a guy or a very ugly female. (Ya never know sometimes! Sometimes you see what appears to be a guy--wearing guy's pants, shirt, and shoes...and sporting some form of peach fuzz--but then you notice that those hips are not part of a male.) He looked like he was shifting gears, so it must have been a 6MT. (I didn't see his hips.)

I like MSM and would have also considered it if it had an Ebony interior.

I also saw a silver Audi A6 2.something that was struggling to accellerate from Holly onto 101 North. It moved, for sure, but the exhaust and the smell was pitiful. Is that normal for a VW Audi?

EeryEleven

I passed a Black TSX last night on my way home from work on North 680... I noticed the car was purchased at the same Acura dealer I got mine at in Pleasanton....

hobbestec

I saw a black one going south on Rt. 95/128 this morning on my way to work near Needham, MA, I tried to pass them, but my exit came up and had to go. That's the first one I've seen on a highway! All the other one i've seen on surface streets.

oo7bondgrrl

I need to add on to my sightings list.

1. Stock SSM in girl's dorm parking lot
2. Blue with ~35% tint, belongs to a girl in the apartment complex next to mine
3. Chick driving a stock red down W. Jackson
4. Chick driving a stock white down W. Jackson
5. Me...CG soon to be dropped and on 19's!

dom

The last 5 TSX's I've seen (2 Black, 1 Red, 1 IBP and 1 White) have all been driven by ladies in their 50's.

So there I am looking at another TSX in coming towards me in the distance. As I get ready to give the thumbs up expecting another a-tsx member to do the same, some stuck up lady gives does'nt even glance in my direction Its happened 5 times in a row

What's going on?

AKay

I saw an artic blue one just like mine w/o the full body kit in my own town yesterday and i was heated.
Someone is biting my style grrrrrrrrrrr
thank god ive begun modding mine.
I also seen a black one this morning when i took a different highway to pick up my friend.
He beeped at me when i was getting on the highway then i caught up to him and gave him the thumbs up
Was it someone from here??
It was on rt 21 between 8-8:15 am.
AKay

AKay

Ok i seen a CG one with chrome rims and dark tint in edgewater mall in NJ.
Rims looked like 20" or he had 18s with a drop. and whomever it was had to be young and on an internet blind date.
The dude was young and he was meeting some chick there that walked up to the car then he parked it and met up with her.
Lemme find out people are using acura-tsx.com as a hook up spot!!!
AKay
PS i was on a date with this chick wit a g35

Well, at last another sighting for me. (First one -- long time ago, didn't post it.)

Sunday, Oct. 5, around 4 P.M., Montclair NJ, right in front of my Carbon Gray, on Grove St., both of us turned onto Mt. Hebron Rd -- gorgeous Milano Red TSX, like totally gorgeous. I tried pulling alongside but there was no room to do it without being obnoxious. I think you saw me wave, and you honked back as you turned off!

Great Milano Red TSX you got!

GRAYTSX

I've seen more TSX's on the road this past 2 weeks than I have since I got mine in April. (Chicago burbs)
I guess we're not "special" anymore.

Brad

Sightings are incredibly spotty here in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'll go a week or more before I see another one. On the other hand, Yugo and Daihatsu sightings are much rarer, if that's any comfort.

dom

Saw another Black/Parchmont TSX driven by..........Yes another women in here 40's or 50's on Saturday Oct 4

I again drove by without as much as a glance in my direction.

GRAYTSX

The TSX's I've seen have been driven by guys and I've honked or looked their way and none acknowledged me...so there :pfawk:

dom

Thats just plain rude. I can assure you I would have waved, honked and given the thumbs up.

Thats what bothers me about these other women driving the TSX. I don't think they appreciate the fine peice of machinery under their control.

But oh well.

larchmont

I just can't believe it either, gray. Please do drive by us some time, we hope.

GRAYTSX

I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that traffic was heavy & they just didn't notice another TSX. Although I have an internal radar and always notice them!

Brad

I saw an Artic Blue TSX today after work. The guy was driving around and around the work complex, conference center, gym, car park garage. I guess he was giving rides to co-workers.

I didn't honk. That's a beautiful blue!

GRAYTSX

OK, this morning was the last straw. I hurried to catch up to another CG and honked & looked right at the guy and he ignored me. I know he saw me. Then he was in back of me at a light and was looking off into space. WTF. I'd be staring at another TSX.

larchmont

Well, I give up. I don't know whether to do one of these or one of these or just kill myself.

(Don't worry, that last part comes with a )

GRAYTSX

I know YOU'D wave to me.

Brad

Since he didn't recognize you, perhaps he figured that you had mistaken _his_ identity rather than you trying to greet him because of the car's identity. Man vs. machine.

Some people are a little restrained or shy.

Plus, the TSX has some honk, doesn't it? Some people might perceive honking in traffic as a sign of agression if it's not for some alarm or safety-related reason, even though the intent is friendly.

GRAYTSX

Yea, you're probably right. I guess not everyone is an enthusiast. I tried to slow down at one point and he went even slower as to not catch up to me.
I acutally thought it was Jason at first, he looked similar. But it obviously wasn't.

larchmont

Jason's evil twin.

siliobear

So where are all the TSX'es in LA (more importantly, where are the fellow Acura-TSX.com'ers)? I haven't seen too many lately, and of the ones I've seen, only one acknowledged me.

DesignGuy

Saw another CG a couple of days ago on Morrisville Parkway. I think it was the same one I had seen while waiting for mine to come in. I hadn't seen another CG on the road since I took mine home.

Also saw a PWP on Old Leadmine Rd. in Raleigh a week or so ago.
