thus why the older CL and TL models are held in a higher regard amongst enthusiast. in 2009, it started to shift towards "Appearance specified" as Joe calls it

and how we got the TSX Special Edition

Im in electrical design, my baby was the built in wireless charger, but I worked on the entire infotainment system.
I think for a refresh it's a good look. XTC, the front will grow on you. I personally love the ASPEC look. I'm not financially ready to get one, but I'd consider a TLX in the future, and you guys should too

If that A badge on the grill is anything like the one on the new MDX, it's like the size of a dinner plate.

I was looking at one last time I was at the dealer and it was like some sort of funhouse mirror; as i got closer it seemed to grow exponentially.

I think it would take two whole cans of plastidip to black out the [A].

Whole chickens can slip through the arms of the caliper and smash into your radiator.

Radiator cooked chicken.

It's that kind of thrill snack.

Joe they aren't just giving these things away to employees? Seems like they'd have awesome leasing options for you.

Bruh. The NSX doesn't even have a vacuum in the back (probably because it sucks enough by itself). Obviously ssjoe is getting an Odyssey Touring Elite.

I'm kinda excited for what I may or may not be leasing.... I think it will be a good stepping stone in my 10 year vehicle plan.

Do you plan to be driving the new S2000 in 10 years? I know you probably can't say, but give me a ninja smilie or something if I should go ahead and hold out for a new S2k sometime in the next decade...

Haha. You know, it's funny... I don't even think about Acura specifically anymore. It's all Honda to me. Like, I honestly forgot that the NSX was an Acura.

But really though; a vacuum in the back?

I bought a couple bags of sand at Home Depot a couple weeks ago (they​ feel like boobs) and when I got home, there was sand all over the back of the truck. So I grabbed this little vacuum we have and plugged into the inverter in the back of the truck to clean things up. I remarked how cool it was that we had 120VDC there to do that. But you know what would be cooler? Cutting out the middleman and just having a vacuum there.

That's Baller.
