Cool Finally, my NHB '06 TSX 6spd

Break-in period sucks. Coming from a car that's never had VTEC, I hit it today going home and damn, you hit the 6k rpm in 3rd and that sucka just races up in the powerband and throws you back in the seat. Too bad I won't get to open her up till summer and come summer I'll be riding instead... damn choices. Guess I'll have to take a chance in this 6" of snow!

On the way to Regina tuesday afternoon. Not bad but not safe by any means



The last time I'll see my baby clean and in her stock wheels till this coming summer.

I'm starting to think I should've gotten the nav too. It's damned hard finding a place that'll install the pioneer avic-n2 I got for this baby. Bleh!

Great looking car, helraiser. You need to stabilize that camera for low light shots, though. Try investing in a cheap tripod, or bracing the camera on something solid.

Love the ebony interior. Let us know how it drives, power, etc.

It's an older 2.1mp sony cibershot... like 5 years old or so now It's time for a new camera. I'd like to get some better shots but with snow everywhere if I leave the car wash it'll get dirty almost immediately.

Ride is excellent, smooth. Only prob is with snow on the ground I've got to leave stop in 2nd or in 1st I just spin wheels. I've put just about 500km on it since tuesday... halfway to the break-in period is over.

Power is plenty in all rpm ranges, no need to drop gears to pass those semis on the highway, just step on the gas!

today it's -8F, urgh... bloody cold!
