Nice car..You'll have fun with it, more after the 1st 700miles. The break in period says dont rev it up past like 3000-4000rpm or drive it over around 65mph. Im still wating for my 700 miles to be up. I just got mine last monday, Artic blue/quarts interior. Its a nice smooth car with a good ammount of power. Im thinkin of tintin the windows, and maybe later on getting a lid or wing spoiler 
. Enjoy your new car...

. Enjoy your new car... I know, I drove it around today and I really had to hold back on hitting the gas. I did toss it around though......nothing in the manual says anything about a break in period for the suspension

I took the odometer pic at the dealer. I got to cherry pick my TSX from the lot and I picked one that had just come off the boat so the kms were super low.

Finally someone else posts more pictures of the ASM color.
TSXdawg can you post more pictures?
I'm expecting to buy my car this spring!
ASM with Quartz interior
Are the rear mud flaps missing?

Congrats! There have been some really fun drives since finishing break-in. VTEC is a beautiful thing. 
Miles? Try kilometers! TSXdawg is a fellow Canuck! 
The pic of his cluster shows 5AT.

Good eye swirlie, yes I got the 5AT.
I tried both and I have the say 6MT is really slick, best manual I have ever driven. However the 5AT was surprisingly peppy despite what I have read from some people in this forum. Maybe they did something different with the 06 auto because I also had a chance to drive the 05 auto and the 06 felt to me like it had more pull. I chose the 5AT because it just fit city driving better.

I'm starting to feel a Vancouver TSX meet in March. I can come from Edmonton (as I already have a planned trip to the Sunshine Coast) and perhaps Swirlie can ferry over. Maybe Feliz and others could join as well.
Still love your ASM.
I hope to get some good pics of my TSX and the great BC back drops as well.

Alabaster Silver Metallic is lighter and somewhat shinier, especially when it is sunny out...the satin silver, as the name implies has less sheen to it. Pretty similar but side by side you can tell a difference.

TSXdawg, if you ever get the opportunity I would love to see a picture of your ASM beside a SS.
I look forward to seeing your night pics.
