Even by that guideline, mine won't move......unless I force it to move up one notch.

Love the "cleanness" of everything. Great photography, IMO.

Yeah, I'm sad, too. But right now it looks like no one's interested in my overpriced '11, so I'm going to continue enjoying it. If I win the lottery, I'll ship my baby to Hong Kong. If not, I might take a cross-country road trip and visit everyone in the 2nd gen section before I leave the country.

Yeah, I think the price is still too high. I just made another monthly payment so I'll be asking the mods to update the price soon.

I wasn't joking about the road trip! If by some miracle I sell the car between now and the end of May, then things will be different, but I don't expect that to happen. My wife and I are already making preliminary plans. First stop will be So. Cal, then Arizona, Vegas, Utah, Texas, Gulf coast, Eastern seaboard, etc. NYC is definitely on my list of places to visit... never been there and now's as good a time as any.

Thanks Ben, I appreciated the FS thread bump. The camera I'm using is the wife's Nikon D60 with the kit lens and a UV filter. It was the Costco kit from a couple of years back that included the kit lens (55mm IIRC) and the telephoto (200mm) lens. Afterwards I did auto-levels and auto-sharpen in Photoshop Elements.

My camera is a 6 year old Sony DSC-P200 P&S. Great little camera, and some of the photos in this thread as well as my original Grigio thread were from that camera.

Just a quick update as I've finally re-listed the car for sale: https://acurazine.com/forums/member-cars-sale-49/super-clean-2011-tsx-w-tech-enkei-wheels-ct-e-icebox-san-francisco-ca-861379/

After posting the wheel FS thread, it became obvious that shipping was going to be a nightmare (apologies to larryt1026), and just as luck would have it, I stupidly stuffed my wheels into my trunk without protecting them carefully and ended up scratching up one of the wheels. It wasn't that big of a deal but I freaked out because I'm usually so anal about the car.

It's been a crazy couple of months. I moved out of Oakland and back to San Francisco. I went to Hong Kong for 3 weeks. I had planned to take a road trip across North America, but with no job and plans to move to HK in a couple of months, I need to hold on to my cash for as long as possible, so no more road trip (sorry, guys).

I've been getting rid of my personal belongings like Niagara Falls gets rid of water. It's unbelievable how much stuff we collect during the course of our lives. The biggest thing to get rid of now is my beloved car. Hopefully someone will scoop it up this time. If not, the dealer will take it and I'll have to pay for the difference.

So, I just created a new FS thread. To keep this thread on topic (it is photo gallery after all), here's a pic from that thread:



Oh, and yes, some of you might notice I went back to chrome lugs. That's to make the car a bit more palatable to the general public. I'm definitely trying harder to unload it this time.
