Took the family out to dinner tonight and on the way back, I see this car coming up on me fast. Before I knew it, I see this new Acura grill rolling up on me. Stupid kid with out of state tags pulls up beside of me at the light and looks at me. The light turns green and he nails it. I let him go thinking I'm too old for the sh*t. On the next light, I say the heck with it, go to manual shift and let the paddles do what they do best. Did he really think he had a chance? lol

You're never too old to enjoy the adrenaline rush of a race. You just get smarter about it and know when to do it safely.

Honestly, I can't wait to hear of encounters between last gen's TL-S and the upcoming TSX V6.

was your family in the car?

We were all in the car. Thats why I didn't want to do it. Safety first, tickets second -lol. What do you do when your kid says dad, are you going to let him beat you? The speed limit is 45 in this area so by the time I clicked into 2nd, it was done. Didn't even have to break the speed limit.

Finally Acura did the right thing and having a V6 option for the TSX. Now all they need is a 6mt option!

Too cool.. I shut it down at moderate speeds as well.. your kids are going to inherit some nice cars so make sure they inherit some good defensive driving skills and common sense. Next time if a Civic buzzes you.. just let'em.. not worth it.. lol.

At least you didn't go past the speed limit. Good kill.
