wow did i miss my car

dropped it off at the dealer on thursday to get this clicking sound taken care of from the rear driver side wheel. Turns out, it was a retaining spring from the break pad that was bad. Well they needed to order the part and it was coming from california. I was driving a TSX with nav until today.

get back into my car and i realized how much i missed my car. Sat in and the seats hugged me immediately. Not that i didnt like the TSX (not a big 4dr guy), but just hitting the gas a little and driving behind tinted windows makes me feel right back at home. mmm k im done. any one else had that feeling?

I hear that man. I just got my car back too - they gave me an Acura EL for the week it was in the shop (EL = fancy Civic Si 4 door in Canada). At least the TSX isn't embarrasing

I know the feeling when ever I have to drop my car off at the dealership for an oil change and or anything else. They usually give out the the tsx, or EL as a loaner... Driving is totally different in both of those cars and I can't wait get my car back.. Change lanes and overtaking ppl feels like the car has no power what so ever in the loaners....

As soon as I get back in my car, the tints, seatings, and most importantly seeing my boost gauges puts a smile back on my face

Grass is always greener on the other side. You guys bitch cause they gave you a near brand new car as a loaner. Oh boo-hoo

The loaner program is a privilege not a right. Be happy that they put you in a car for the day.

Did you hear that clicking sound when it was sitting or while driving because I hear a clicking sound on mine right there too when i'm cleaning a wheel while it's running. I took it to the dealer, thought it might be exhaust but turns out nothing! what gives?

Oh I agree - I was really just joking - they gave me an EL with 500km on it - so yeah - brand spankin new. I'm really happy with my dealer and I was happy to get a loaner at all.

It was actually a good thing - it almost brought back that "first drive" feeling after driving the little auto 4 cylinder.

And on the topic of appreciating your CL - n00dleboy - you should come down the Seattle meet on June 11th.

Probly in need of a valve adjustement. Nothing serious, isnt hurting anything...more or less just preventative maintenance. Mine does it too, it pisses me off cuz i only have 30k. And not covered under warranty. Correct me if im wrong but, I think its around ~$400 to get done too.
