Or maybe it's 2 different TSX's that both like Indian food (or make that 3 including mine).

Didn't see any other TSX's around here lately except these two times at the Indian restaurant.

P.S. True confession: My wife spotted it. We saw it from the front. She goes, "a TSX"! I said nah, maybe it's the new TL, lemme take a look.
She was threatening to post about it, so I figured I better beat her to it.

Sometimes TSX sightings are few and far between. Other times they seem frequent. It's kind of like sighting of Elvis or the Virgin Mary.

Oh shit, it's still going! I'd given this thread up for dead around the time I last posted.

Often when I'm headed to work, around 9 AM southbound on S Wolfe in Sunnyvale, I see a white TSX northbound. Caucasian lady driver; can't see anything more.

Saw an MSM on 85 on Wednesday (12/31/03) when a coworker was driving us to lunch.

I occasionally see old couples in SSMs. :P

I saw 2 TSX on back to back days, the 1st one I spotted was a carbon grey going down on cottle (San Jose, Santa Teresa area) and a parked black TSX at costco near Almanden Plaza (next to hwy 85, 12/28) Does any of these cars belong to any members of this board? The more I see these TSXs on the road, the more I want to trade my c320. Those TSXs looks ALOT better in person.
Cottle is near where I work, and I have a CG TSX. Was the plate DNL2BA? I wouldn't've been there if it was on December 27, though, if that's what you're saying.

I saw a hot looking CG TSX with a spoiler on the road yesterday. An asian couple was driving it.

CG is still my favorite color for the TSX. It beats seeing all the silver and red TSXs that roam the roads around here.

Before I got my car, saw a woman drive a SSM on I-90 heading West and exited around Huntley.
After I got my car, saw an older woman drive a Milano Red while driving to work on a two lane road (flashed my lights and waved and got no response). This was near the WI/IL border in Roscoe, IL. Spotted the car once more parked in front of a store in the same location.
My brother claims to have seen a black TSX around town, but I have yet to see it.

I saw an MSM on Sunday (1-4-04) near the intersection of 82nd and Sunnyside (by Clackamas Town Center), as we were cutting through the parking lot from Costco over to Stanford's restaurant!

Hey jcg878,
What color TSX do you have? I just bought one a few weeks ago at Turnersville. My fiance has been driving it and she is living in your area (Voorhees), actually looking to move to Haddonfield from DE. Where did you get yours and where are you getting your serviced?

CG/EB/AUTO/NAVI - VIN 18962

Blue one in Escondido, CA

Saw a blue TSX in Escondido, CA, yesterday (1/10). It was heading west on Maple at just after 2:00pm. Wonder if they saw my white TSX parked at the intersection outside the restaurant where we were having lunch.

Hey sacc,

I have a NHB/parchment TSX. I bought it in North Carolina before I moved (back) up here, but I've had it serviced once at Sussman Acura in Maple Shade. I posted about the experience here: http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/show...hlight=sussman
I think I'll try Turnersville next time - do they have service loaners?

I saw a CG on the road today - near 38 in Moorestown/Mt. Laurel area by Lenola Road - was that either of you?? I'll keep my eyes open.

I live in Voorhees and we're looking to buy a home this year, possibly in Haddonfield (though I doubt we can afford it yet!), Cherry Hill, Haddon Heights, or Collingswood. Good luck finding a place.

Jason

Alright! Finally saw one in downtown LA this morning. White TSX (just like mine ) heading south on Grand going past the new Disney Concert Hall. It was brand new cause it still had the yellow Keyes Acura plates. Congrats on the new purchase, whoever you are.

Saw a red one in the rearview around lunch today on 85 N in San Jose just before I got off to go to the post office. It had a gold Acura emblem, but it didn't look very good next to the chrome grille.

Saw a silver one on 280 N in Sunnyvale on the way home, around 7:30 or so, but the plate read something like TSAN 2B. That (somehow) means Sunnyvale Acura-- probably a test drive.

Well, I saw the lady (TSX) in red again while driving home from work. It was parked on the side of the road.

I'll have to ask my brother if he saw the driver. I don't think he did though. Rockford isn't a bad place to shop, everything is pretty much within a few minutes drive. Its definately less congested than woodfield. I still have yet to see a TSX in Rockford (saw a black 04 TL though)

Jason,
Turnersville does have service loaners, be sure to request one when you make your appointment. That was not me in Moorestown...I'll be sure to keep my eyes out for you. Have you had any creaking noises or rattles? I am bringing mine in the for the passenger windshield rattes.

Two yesterday! (Friday):

(1) West Side Hwy north, near 125th St., around 4:45, SSM with spoiler, cool dude in left lane.
That CG TSX with the slush splattered on it was me.

(2) Hastings, around 8:30 PM, couldn't tell the color but it looked cool with all the snow on it.

While getting my rims installed today, I took a walk on Homestead in Sunnyvale or Cupertino (not sure where the boundary is). Saw a CG eastbound on Homestead around 3:50 or 4:00 PM.

Saw a white TSX yesterday (Sat - 1/17) at the Renningers Antique Festival in Mt. Dora. (FL) Was parked before I got there, so I never saw the owner.

Saw a black one with tinted windows last week on the W101 near De Soto. Looked exactly (except the tinted windows) like mine!!!

Also saw a red one two weeks ago near my house. It also had a spoiler on it.

I saw a silver (not sure which type) parked at the Short Hills Mall (Millburn, NJ) tonight at around 7pm.

First TSX I've seen out, since taking delivery of mine on Saturday...perhaps seen four or five prior...

Not dissing the silver, but I looooove my Carbon!

I just saw one in my parking lot at work. It's black too
The parking lot is on Elkridge Landing road near BWI. Maybe they are a Acura-Tsx.com member? I would like to ask him/her why they couldnt be creative and get a different exterior color.

A new CG TSX has appeared in the parking lot of our building in Voorhees. Now there are 3 of us parked right by each other - MSM, CG, and NHB. Weird.

I saw a 04 TL today at Circuit City with the 18" OEM wheels - looked really nice. I don't know if I'd like to make my ride any harsher (if we can even use those wheels), but it looked really good.

And I saw a twin to my car, an SSM--did anyone notice what a "bad" initialism SSM makes? I just noticed that--after six months of participation on this board. What would the first "S" stand for? Never mind. Geeeze.

I was cycling in the hills near highway 35 on Canada Road when this SSM TSX started to pull into the parking area, but the street was closed off on Sundays (for cyclists) so they turned around and left.

SSM in So Cal

Saw a SSM one this morning northbound on the 405 just north of the 710 interchange. It was at around 6:25am and I was in the carpool lane in my vanpool. The TSX was in the fast lane and we were right next you it for a good minute or so. Dang, the SSM color sure looks nice.

Saw a silver one around 8:45 going south I-75 near Miramar, FL. It had dark tint, a rear spoiler, and splash guards.

I gave a thumbs-up as I passed in my carbon gray. I only got a chilly look in return. So it COULDN'T be one of our friendly crew.
