Proof that I'm not a troll....

... and I actually do own a TSX...

Since many of you have seen my rambling, but not my car, I really do have one.

Washed it on Saturday, and of course it rained for 3 days straight after that.

I actually considered the ZDX very briefly, but the styling was too funky for me.

People used to think my license plate, "PPTMSTR", meant POWERPOINT Master, LOL.

I was thinking of this for the wagon, but not sure my ego is that big... I should at least make it my av....

haha, I was thinking about that plate as well. I've never had a personalized plate, but have a hard time with it. My brother has always had them from MRSHMLW (Marshmallow people thought was Mr. Shimlow ), and now SMYLMKR (smilemaker) & WYRBNDR (wire bender) as an orthodontist. I may just go with a specialty plate that has blue to go with the blue wagon. OKC Thunder or University of Tulsa Alumni would work.

Had that argument a thousand times when I was a teenager... if Mustaine didn't get kicked out of Metallica, there would be no Megadeth. Just sayin. I do like Megadeth too though.

Done that too. Here were my last tags on the old car:



In all likelihood, I'm going to get something similar for the TSX. Or something silly like LOLWGN, LOLFWD, WTBRWD, etc.

A few more I uploaded, same day, different angles....








I know, I need to take better pictures, these look slightly off. It was a P&S on Auto, need to play with the ISO.

ISO looks fine. P&S just don't get as much dynamic range as a bigger sensor camera, and black interiors can be especially hard. A cheap tripod and shutter delay/timer help a ton.

I haven't looked it up on here too much, but how do you like the cargo tray? Do things not slide around too much back there? I was thinking about getting the cargo liner to hopefully give a bit more friction, but I haven't seen that used much.

I didn't know enough about the liner when I selected the tray, and mistakenly thought the liner wasn't water resistant, but it is. The fact that the liner covers the back of the 2nd row and the sides of the trunk makes it a better option for daily use like bags, groceries, pets, misbehaving kids, etc. IMO. It depends on what you need it for I guess.

As for the tray, I like it for what it does - it's sturdy, I don't have to worry about anything catching and grabbing, and it's easy to wipe down. I'm a golfer and like that I can slide golf bags in and out easily, and don't have to worry about wet or muddy shoes. I also make the usual Home Depot runs, and sometimes need to carry heavy, dirty items like tools, car parts, wheels, floor jacks, etc.

Some of the guys here have seen this picture before:



Pretty impressive for not having to use the back of the folded down seats, just the pass through.

Guess I could get the liner and throw the tray on top of it...

35% tint all round. Suntek Carbon film. Could have gone a touch darker like maybe 30%, but I didn't want it too dark, I'm not a fan of the 20%/limo look. Maybe if I lived in FL or AZ.






And I just liked the lighting on this pic:
