Thank god I got the old lady to drive the Civic yesterday...she went out, and some old ass woman driver hit her. The lady said she wasn't paying attention. I am like..why the f*ck didn't you stay at home and not pay attention in front of the TV...damn that pisses me off...better it happened to the Civic though...the wife wanted to take the TSX too, luckly it needed to be washed!
Now I got some POS Neon to drive around in till my car is fixed.

I got another rock chip in my winshield yesterday and got my first real door ding last week. Not huge when put into perspective, but it pisses me off! April sucks.

I said "Screw it, ain't pushing my luck". So I walked to work today on probably what is one of the last few nice days we get here in Seattle.

Now I just have to hope the car is safe while sitting at the apartment.

Best of luck to all the TSX owners out there who haven't been hit by this curse yet! As gfxdave99 said, no more crash pics!

I had one, too! About a week ago; it was wider than a pencil and the head of the thing was humonguous! It stuck out the front righ tire and sounded like I was driving across a bridge the whole time (ta-tum, ta-tum, ta-tum). I had it fixed at Sears for $16 (they had to do try plugging the hole twice, because of the size). Then I had the tires rotated two days later for fear of a flat at 90+ mph.

my nail was too close to the sidewall to patch...so i have to drop $130 for a new tire

My TSX just turned 1 yesterday. I recently noticed a little chip on the hood and on the driver side front door. So far my only real "damage" was done last July...

I was running some erands today and there was a guy with his signal on for about a half a mile. I decide to be a nice guy and let him in. He looks over his shoulder to make sure its clear and rear ends the guy in front of him.
About 15 mins later I pull up to a light and the guy next to me looks like he has his car in reverse. He must have braked at the last minute and gone to far over the line, then had to back up. I say to my wife that the guy is about to back into the person behind him. Sure enough, the light changes and steps on it and goes about 5 feet. Luckily for him the person was 10-15 feet behind. I decided to go home before I came across any other idiots and recked my baby.

What are you driving now anyway? Too bad it's not an Acura. Not only do Acuras save the lives of the drivers, but they also save the lives of racoons. Think about it.

So, 330xi or TL SH-AWD for less money?

I gotta go with the TL. More car, more features, better tech, less money, better reliability, better performance. You BMW people will have no more excuses when the TL SH-AWD comes out.

Oh I'm sorry, is this off-topic? Let's start a new thread.

but by the time the new TL sh-AWD comes out, if ever, the new 3 series will be out, and it'll be another decade or so of catch up by everybody else to be comparable to BMW and longer for acura given their trackrecord

besides, no MT for SH-AWD, i dont think acura can find a manual solution for the AWD system with the magnetic clutch plates and such. and since acura AT's are pretty much DOA anyways, no way

You're reaching here bud. BMW's latest history has shown that the redone 7-series and 5-series are flat, and the new X3 is a pooch. If they don't screw it up, I'm sure they'll leave the 3-series pretty much as it was mechanically. That means it'll be a great car but can't touch an AWD TL.
