Someone Tooted at Me!
Around 5:15pm this afternoon, southbound 101 just past Whipple Rd in Redwood City, this black car zipped in behind me and tooted their horn. However, I was in the process of changing lanes and didn't realize until it passed that it was a Nighthawk Black /Parchment TSX. I think the driver was a blonde female. (Yer never know these days!)
But there ya go: The interior matched her hair and her clothing matched her car's body. Howz that for color coordination!

That's what I like about neutral colors. The neutral TSX colors are white, satin silver, carbon grey, and nighthawk black. There's no need to think about color coordination, but she matched the car!
On the other hand, it was hot today--upper 90's--and I wore tan cargo shorts and a dark green polo shirt in my SSM TSX. It's hard to get color clash with the car's colors.
I also saw a dark TSX this morning on Marsh at 101--my eyes weren't entirely open, so I couldn't tell if it was a CG or a NB.
I have yet to see three TSXs on the streets in one day--not counting my own.

My eyes must not be open, either, because I didn't see either of you! I occasionally see something zip by in oncoming traffic and think, "Naw, musta been a TL...", but some of them must be TSXs. I identify a TSX most readily from the rear, I guess.

I get off at Marsh on 101S. I had a 9:00 AM meeting this morning.

I was driving the Satin Silver Metallic in the far right lane of cross-traffic.
My car is a whole week old now!

And just wait for the new TL's to hit the road. You'll confuse TL's and TSX's all the time.
You heard it here first.

Well, if I see a current TL very briefly (it has the "Acura grill" + 4 doors) or an RSX briefly ("Acura grill" + wedge shape), I can be fooled.
Nope, not a sports fan.![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Brad, if it was 8:00 AM, then I was still eating breakfast at home when you got there.

Other than that, I never mistake a TSX.

My god. TSX owners are starting to pop up all over the place! <gasp!>
Some day, some of us are bound to see each other passing each other around town. There seems to be a cluster of forum members on the Peninsula--Burlingame to Sunnyvale.
