A few words of thanks...

Just moved back to Texas after four (car-less) years in NY. To summarize my initial impressions of my new TL ('05 SSM 6MT w/Nav), it is a wonderful reintroduction to driving.
But first a step back. I found this forum through a simple Internet search, and it proved invaluable in my decision to buy the TL and in reducing headaches for the actual purchase. I bought the car in Manhattan before leaving, largely due to the information gathered here on the price differential between there and Houston (my company offered to ship it as part of my relo package). I was able to walk in with a firm price, spending only a few minutes with the dealer outside of test driving the car.
The forum also has helped in getting past a few of the idiosyncrasies of the car, like the fact that the navigation will not switch to night mode on the auto setting if the interior light setting is on 'max' - go figure. I found several threads on that issue after stumping the Acura dealer.
So many thanks for your contributions. I look forward to learning more here and sharing further impressions down the line. For now, a couple of questions:
1. Every once in a while I have trouble getting the car into first or second gear, even with the clutch pushed to the floor. I can't find a pattern to this. Any thoughts?
2. Anyone know of a good installation center in Houston for the 3M Clear Bra?
Thanks again!
