Bored in Bklyn (& Queens) with my TSX (56K...no way)
i went out for zeppoles on st joseph's day, and came back with 100 pics of my car, i'm posting my nine favorite, (and a few zeppoles too!) hope you like!
i'll let people guess where they were specifically taken (a couple are real easy) if you wanna know i'll post that later
btw: the colors on the plates are the italian, and the polish flags, i'm 1/2 italian and 1/2 polish, and liked doing that better than plain old blurring them out

its a great camera, and i would recommend it to anyone that wants a portable camera with many features of a more advanced camera, full manual, raw image recording and such, plus full auto when u want it, and nice and small, you really can't go wrong
the current model that replaces it is the powershot s80, i believe 8 megapixel and still has all the manual options, and i'm sure a few my s45 is missing

first in queens, hand wash 2000 on the corner of the horace harding expy eastbound just before utopia pkwy, i wanna say the address is 180-?? Horace Harding Expy. it's close to my house and my choice, i recommend the VIP service for like $22 or $23 after tax, its competly brushless, they do a quick "detail" inside and out, lots of armor all, if u dont want it, make sure u tell them, or your dashboard will shine like joe pesci's gold tooth in home alone!
second, in brooklyn, on atlantic ave, at the corner of bedford ave, another great place, similar price, i think they do a little better of a job, but it's further from my house, but when u go, go to the mobil station a block away and get a hot dog, soda and chips for $1.47 after tax haha
sorry for my rambling on, i tend to do that haha

Nice looking '06. I'd go crazy with NYC as a backdrop for pics. Should be tons of great places to shoot your car.
See if you can get into Manhattan sometime and get some pics there, like on Wall St or something on a nice day.

What's that view I see sometimes, the one across the water, with the NYC skyline in the background? That'd be cool when the light is good, early morn or evening. The TSX is perfect for urban shots.
Your original pics were good, BTW.

Drives With Hands
Nice pics. I don't care what anybody says, the new front on the '06 with the integrated fog lights is bad ass.
A moderate drop with 17" wheels wouldn't hurt your car, I don't think. I'm dropped on Neuspeed Sport springs with Koni shocks about 1.6" on all corners and I drive in Boston all the time with 18" wheels (although I did manage to bend one of them). If you dropped it with the Neuspeeds or an Eibach Pro-kit and kept either the stock wheels, which are very strong, or went to some forged 17" wheels, I don't think you'd ever need to worry. And you'd be AMAZED at how much better the TSX looks with a drop. I was.
