I just decided to see if the TSX was on the autotraders site, and there it was. Wow. Someone has already wrecked their TSX.

I wonder what's wrong with it besides what's apparent in the picture.

 

tisk tisk :shakehd:

 

Alright. I found some more information on it. It's a salvage with front end damage.

 

Yeah, there was another thread about it, where a new user claimed that he did it after owning the car for two weeks. But if you look closely, you can tell that it had to have happened during a test drive or dealer transport (the sticker is still on the window).

 

Yeah...the jerk!

 

They were selling it for something like $12,500. Some people on here thought that might be a great deal.

(for some reason, your link doesn't work larchmont?)

 

Yes. I did notice that and I did think the same thing. But.. BUT! What about the mileage (328) and the airbags? Do the airbags go off when the car is in transport?

 

Sorry, I meant when the dealer was driving it from one place to another, not actually transported on a truck.

328 miles could be the demo car... I've never heard of anyone leaving the sticker on their car after buying it.

 

Good eyes there shaf...
Hopefully nobody got hurt...

 

Yeah -- so I just deleted the post, since you took care of it pretty good.

 

I never knew that airbags look like lingerie.

(New alibi: "No honey, it's not what you think. That's just an airbag in the glove compartment.")

 

Haha. I wonder what motivated them to make the airbags light pink? Does that make them seem fluffier?

 

Anyways... REPOST. HaHa. I hate doing that. I would even consider buying this vehicle if it didn't have a salvage title. The car isn't worth 12000 with a salvage. And then, installing a new airbag restraint system in the TSX with 6 (or is it 8) airbags. That's got to be 6 G's right there plus the work that has to be done on it. Then getting a salvage title vehicle insured can sometimes be difficult.

 

Pink is more femine :ghey:

 

Ah, thanks for posting the pictures. I was wondering what the Quartz interior looked like. That is the Meteor Silver body, right?

And Pink airbags? I hope that I'm never in that kind of accident. Nothing I have goes with pink. I dislike pink. I'm forever scarred from the sight from behind of a 300 lb woman wearing pink lycra on a tall and skinny racing bike. Godzilla-sized monster hips and arse, all in tight pink. I saw more, but I dare not share that with you. Bleeeechk! I was stuck at a red light and couldn't escape.

 

This is an excellent point. You know how they say, always wear clean underwear because you never know when you might be in an accident? Well, with airbags looking like that, not only does your underwear have to be clean, it has to be only certain colors. If you don't like pink, it doesn't have to be exactly pink. IMHO a few other colors, like lavender, lilac, and chartreuse go fine also.

 

Well, everyone says that the MSM is the girl's TSX, so maybe that's why the airbag is pink. I'm sure the SSM has a more manly airbag, like camoflauge or something

 

Really they should switch to letting you pick 3-way combos: extrerior/interior/airbags.

 

The car looks boring w/o the nav system and the quartz is beautiful. The passenger airbag on a 2001 CL-S is white w/burn marks. That's what's weird about that pic: no burn marks on the 'discharged' airbags.

 

i believe the car belongs to a fellow Acura-Tsx.com (er), it was wrecked because it went under a big truck or something... it was not the drivers fault but its buddy, the buddy was bugging for a test drive, so he let him drive it alone, and then he didn't return with the car, few hours later, he found out his buddy crashed his TSX... poor guy, well lesson learned, don't let no one drive the TSX for a long while... or atlease not with you not in the car atlease.

 

retract that last post hehe, i finally read the whole post... oops... and haha it is pretty ingenious of that kid... starving for attention... tisk tisk, guess his parents don't give enough to the poor guy, moreover lets just keep it as a new lesson... drive the TSXes with care =D. Don't want that crap to happen to any of you guys out there, so drive safe =D and if you must cook some corners, get some summer compound tyres =D

 

Dude! Chartreuse is green.

Could be more than that. A few years back my daughter did about $9K damage to an Altima, and $5K of it was air bag related. In addition to the bags themselves and the sensors, the entire dash had to be replaced along with the windshield. And that was just two bags.

 

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

:flamer:

Do you believe it? This dude didn't know that chartreuse goes with pink!

 

Id like to see a shot from the front passenger side... that looks like where the most damage is. These shots dont actually show the true extent of the damage...

J.

 

Knew I saw that car damage pic before somewhere. Thanks for jogging our memory.

 

Only when it's spandex.

 

Here's a thought. Some people are totally unfamiliar with braking using anti-lock brakes. With non-anti-lock brakes, it was OK to pump them a bit to prevent lock-up.

However, with anti-lock brakes, you should never pump the brakes. The brakes take care of that for you. When some people pump their anti-lock brakes, the brakes lose their effectiveness, and they run into things.

You see, Chris?

It doesn't say if they also do airbags and underpants, but I'm sure everybody would agree it's a good idea.
