Hopefully she drives better than the old lady behind me today. She was headed to the hospital (no emerg flashers if it was truly an emergency), but was tailing me and swerving back and forth the entire time. (mind you I was doing at least 10-15 over the speed limit and she had a clear lane to pass) I laid on the horn for awhile and gave numerous finger salutes, but I doubt she could even see that well.

Damn people need to get back to del boca vista.

Of all the TXS's colors, I've seen all colors except white. I wonder if White is the least common? Silver, Grey, Blue, and Black appear to be the most abundant, by far. I've seen only one Red and no Whites in the past 8 months or so since I became aware of the TSX.

finally on my way back home from work, i saw a SSM TSX with splash guards and stuff. it's got some university's alumni's license frame, but couldnt really tell what it was. I was in the Irvine area near Irvine Blvd. and god damn, now I know i'm not the only SSM/5A/no navi in the neighborhood but congrats, it's awesome to see the same exact car in this area as to the one sitting in my garage.

In my building's garage - there's one SSM 6MT Nav, one MSM 5AT Nav, and mine, CG 5AT non-Nav (the only non-Nav, awww).

Of course, this is a Microsoft building garage - I've even seen a couple of Ferraris.

Probably the highest concentration of TSXes outside of a dealership.

Hmm, I guess there just aren't any people on this board from Georgia. I normally see at least one TSX a week. I even had one following me a couple of weekends ago down Spalding drive in north Atlanta. I just think that nobody from GA that has a TSX visits this site. If I were to list all of the ones I've seen, the post would just be too long. :-)

I don't know if the Microsoft garage has the highest concentration of TSXs outside a dealership. As I previously indicated, in just one of five 5-level garages at my workplace, I've counted a black, a blue, and two silver TSXs (including mine). I'm not sure, but there might actually be two blue ones. I haven't surveyed the other four garages since I rarely park in the other ones.

Which is why I put "probably" in the front of that sentence.

In any case I stand corrected - that is, until I go around to all the parking garages and lots of Microsoft and track down all the TSXes.

Oops, today was a bumper crop!
  • 8:40 AM: Southbound on Wolfe in Cupertino, near 280, a MSM pulled into a gas station.
  • 8:45 AM: Southbound on 280 in Cupertino to Santa Clara or so, I saw a NHB driven by an Asian male in his early 20s.
  • 9:00 AM: At work, well, my boss's boss is using a MSM TSX loaner, presumably because his TL (previous gen) is getting its ABS fixed up.
  • 7:10 PM: NHB driven by a 20- or 30-something Asian female northbound on Lawrence, turning left (west) on Stevens Creek.

I got a custom plate that's the same as my handle on a tech/geek forum with thousands and thousands of active members. Within 2 weeks or so, two people told me they saw my car. Not on this website, though.

Saw a CG in the parking lot at work (not mine) in southern San Jo and I think a MSM on 280 N when coming home. Both were new.

On Monday, I saw one MR and 1-3 CGs (they all had Stevens Creek Acura placeholder plates, were CG, and were within a few blocks over a couple hours, so they may've been the same car) around Santana Row in San Jo.

There's getting to be quite a few around here. Many don't have plates yet, so they're new.

Parked in lot (quite far from entrance) at the Auburn SuperMall near Seattle, when I came out there was a Red TSX parked right next to me. That was the only other TSX I'd seen in the 400+ miles I'd driven that day.

As crazy as I am, I drove 50 miles from Arcadia to Valencia cuz they were the only dealer in So Cal with the MSM in stock that was selling below sticker at that time (last July). On my first day, I clocked in 150 miles (1-1/2 trips...the drive home then went back RT to pick up my beamer from the dealer's lot). Went to Pasadena for one servicing, but got better service from Sierra in Alhambra.

Actually Wiz I am registered, I just don't post often.

As far as sightings go, most of the people I have seen don't/won't respond/wave back.

As a matter of fact I saw a SSM driving past my subdivison in McDonough GA, a few days ago and flashed my lights. The individual just kept going, although the speed they were driving at made me think they were lost or looking for something.

Don't feel too bad. Nobody's responded to me either. I've been seeing a lot of TSX's lately, but I just don't bother to try & get their attention anymore. I gave up.
