Did your car come with a Hoselton Sculpture?

Upon delivery of the car I was given a small black box with an aluminum Acura TL sculpture inside (numbered and signed). The booklet it came with indicates it was made in Ontario so I'm curious if the USA folks get one of these too?

I'm number 992/6000

...any other sculpture owners out there? Post your number!

Nope, I didn't get one, either. Then again, I didn't even get the infamous Acura pen (once more time: freakin' Sussman!)... so I just kept the Audi pen that was in the owners' manual of the A4 I traded in.

Unlike the Acura pen, though, this is something I've never seen mentioned on this forum before. Maybe it really is just a Canadian thing. I'm curious what it looks like... DJ TAG, can you post a picture?

I'll post a pic tomorrow. Nothing special...just a small trinket. The bottom is engraved with the number and signature of the artist.

Who got an Acura pen?

You know, I didn't even get a training session for my car. I heard some people went through an hour training session covering all the features of the vehicle.

I didn't get a pen, but I got a keychain!! WOOHOOO!!!

Actually, though, I did get an hour training class on the car. It was pretty nice of them to do, but the only thing I thought of throughout the class was, "great, but I want to drive the freaking car now!!."

However, my dealer did tint the windows to my specs for no cost. So, I can let them slide on the pen...

That TL model must be a Canada-only thing. It might be worth something on eBay.

Its not a Canadian thing. I didnt' get one. I got free locking wheel nuts, which I would rather have. I didn't get a one hour class but the dealer gave me the manuals two weeks before I was to take delivery. The salesman spent about 15 minutes going over features and would have spent a lot more time but I had a good idea how it all worked from teh manuals.

Man, I really did get screwed! All I got were free wheel locks. As for a 1-hour tour (wasn't that on Gilligan's Island???), I think I would've had to have given that to my sales guy, instead of the other way around! This guy didn't know that:

a) The Navi TL has sun-sensitive climate control (I told him this on my 1st test drive).

b) The build date is inside the driver's-side door.

c) You can fast-forward & rewind within a song on a CD player (not just the TL's DVD Audio, which was what I asked him how to do - I'm talking ANY CD player!).

d) There's a difference between his a$$ and a hole in the ground... :p

All together now: FREAKIN' SUSSMAN!!!
