Time to say bye-bye to you guys

Last night I picked up my 2005 Graphite Pearl Honda Accord Sedan ... got all of the options ... navi, XM, dual climate control sys, and voice activation. It's a great car (240HP) and offers so much more than I thought Honda would.

As for my CL-S, it'll be in the paper soon. I just couldn't get over the last tranny failure (5===>2 downshift at 65 mph). Driving over 75 would always make me think twice about getting to 85. Besides, I have 89K miles on her. But I have the remainder of the 100K ext warranty and I'll be putting new tires on her Monday.

You guys and this forum have been terrific these past 4+ years ... learned about comptech sways, oil changers, fixin' this and that, figuring out how weird things worked ... a lot of fun.

See you at the next stop.

Solid choice! I stayed in the CLS family, but got lucky and found a 2003 six speed at Jay Wolfe Acura in Kansas City to replace my '01 CLS. Take care - you never know, there might be an Acura in your future again.

You're still in the family, stick around. Hell some members here never even owned a CL and post here regularly.

I always did find that odd ... but you're right ... I'll keep the URL on the LINKS menu.

Sorry to see you go but like mclaren said, glad you kept it in the family.

Best of luck with the new car.

No need to leave. I'm got an 04 Accord a few months ago and I still lurk a 4-5 days a week.

(P.S. '98 3.0CL will be for sale soon)
