Smile Been Away .... But Back Now

Hello People !
There might be some of you that remember me, and hopefully someones out there who I previously know. Long Story Short, I used to have an 08 Type S WDP, but after getting in to an accident and getting it fixed, I got rid of it due to post repair issues. Switched to a 2014 Accord and then to my current 2015 TLX. So I needed a second car for myself as the TLX is leased and I will continue leasing something in future. So needed a second car for the house which would be something reliable and maybe my wife could drive too ( even thought that has changed and she will not be touching it I was like, why not get the car that saved my life and honestly Acura couldn't make anything better after that model. I was adamant about the color combo as I always wanted it and also wanted extremely low miles and clean condition. After 3 long months of searching and haggling the dealer, I finally picked this baby up with only 66k miles from an Acura dealer in SC. Flew out on a saturday morning and drove it back to South FL same day and yes it was an amazing trip of about 600 miles down south on 95. Anyways, hope to be in touch with all of you and yes will be doing some changes to the car, specially the wheel color. And after 3 weeks of owning it I already have an issue which I will be searching on fix it forums lol. Nothing major though.
