AC condensation or...?

AC condensation or...?
just picked up my 07 CPO tsx. awesome car. i however noticed a steady stream of "liquid" all over the parking lot and quite a bit of "liquid" creating a noticeable pool after i parked and turned off the car.
could this be AC condensation? if so, is it normal to have so much? i've never seen a car drip that much condensation other than the city bus!
if not, should i be worried? i couldn't tell what color the liquid was because it was night time. i did attempt to taste the liquid and it didn't taste like chemicals - it tasted like stale water.
any help would be appreciated. thanks!

lol. i know. in hind sight, it was kinda' stupid. but there was no way for me to tell because my parking lot light is yellowish so everything has a yellowish look to it. i first tried to smell it and it didn't smell like any chemicals. so i figured i take a dab of it with my pinky and try taste it - i'm well aware that if you have the AC on, you'll have a little pool of water when you stop so i wanted to see if that's what it was. i start work early in the morning so i wanted to make sure it wasn't so critical fluid that was leaking...
what bothered me was the trail of water that followed me all the way to my parking stall and what i thought was quite a bit of water pooled. my previous car did not have that much water pooled when i parked.
i'll have to keep an eye on it for a couple of days and if it keeps happening, i'll call my stupid dealership and ask about it.

Considering your humid environment, it sounds like A/C condensation like you said. The TSX A/C system is quite good in cooling the cabin. (That's of course it doesn't crap on you like some of us '04 owners).

better way to find out...look underneath the car and see where the water is dripping from. there is a black tube underneath the car that just drips the condensation out. if it is coming out of that tube, it is water.

See if you can get a good look at it in the daytime. If its clear and doesn't feel filmy then its water and most likely a result of condensation (I mean where else in your car could water come from?).

ok, so i had another trail of "liquid" left in my wake today. its a lot of "liquid"! YES, I KNOW ALL CARS HAVE AC CONDENSATION. its just that, of all the cars i've had, i've NEVER seen this much before. not even my old 91' suzuki sidekick had that much condensation drip!
