Damn Acura SUCKS!

Gosh guys, I have this huge gripe. When I drive the TL and stop often, which of course I have no choice, I get this nasty black stuff on the rims. I think that I will never buy Acura again because this is so inconvenient, I have to clean the rims for no good reason.


ACURA SUCKS!

All good brake pads release lot of brake dust. I'd wax the wheels once so it will be easier to clean them. Also use product like Michelin Brakedust Repellent and it will stay clean.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Whenever I drive mine on dirt roads, it gets really, really dusty. Then I have to wash it again. And another thing, the more I drive it the more the tires wear. Some day I'll have to buy new ones. And if it rains it gets wet and I have to wash it yet again.

Guess we better get rid of 'em, huh?

Awwwwww......... Poor baybee!!!!!!

Got a 6spd? Though somewhat of an inconvenience at times I'll admit, it comes with the terriotry of 6 spd's dual piston Brembos.

Deal with it or get rid of the car instead of stomping your feet like you didn't get your ice cream today.

Big Bad Acura, ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was driving on the highway this morning and noticed that INSECTS were getting crushed against the windshield!!!! What a mess! They were all dried up and really stuck to the glass! I don't know what to do, but I know I'm never buying a Honda product again. Besides killing completely innocent insects, it's going to be really hard to clean.
