Does that make me Captain Jack Sparrow?
Yep, you're Captain jack Sparrow and that's not bad at all .

You have 3.2 engine, not 3.5 one. That engine sips less fuel. So you'll have more chances of getting higher highway mpg than 3.5 one.

Enjoy the car.

Finally!

After a nightmare scenario of weather and other mishaps it arrived today! She still needs a few things but I'm hitting the road with her tomorrow!

The windows were tinted DARK!!! Way to dark for this state anyway. Nice job too. I peeled the front doors off and left the back doors and rear window. Will probably leave it like that.

Needs:
Review mirror - Auto dim appears to have gone permanently dark.
Floor mats - Considering the OEM all weather.
Fob - Only came with one key.

Wants:
Trunk tray - What the difference between a 04-06 and an 07-08 tray?
Owner's manual - Didn't come with one.
Full detail job - Will probably wait until spring and get some minor body work repaired as well.

Over all I'm very happy with my purchase. With the delay and little flaws my broker knocked some off the price.

Check fuse #20 for the mirror (if your windshield washer doesn't work, it's the fuse. Replace with a 10A fuse. There is a TSB to use a 10A vice a 7.5A.

Register at myacura.com and you will get access to an online owner's manual. You can also order a paper copy at helminc.com.

Ate at a fantastic restaurant in/near Sioux City. It was on the river. Think it was part of a larger club or something. Superb peppercorn ribeye and chocolate souffle desert! Very, very good!!

Either Kahill's on the Nebraska side or Bev's on the River on the Iowa side. Both are very good.

The windshield wiper works. The mirror is permently dark it seems. The button does nothing. Thinking it may have gotten damaged some how.
