Just a quick introduction

Hi all,
I have just bought a 2010 BRP TL SH-AWD with 32,000 miles. I live here in the midwest hence the lack of good photos (I will post a pic later today). I travel for work and the car has spent the last week in the garage while we have had 10" + snow fall and brutal cold temps. The car has the Teck package and has not a single scratch or dent on the car. All books and records and I paid 24k for the car. About 12 years ago I was a Sales Manager for one of the top 25 Acura dealers in the country and buying this car was an easy choice. At some point I do so mods but for now just a quick hello and this is a great place to learn, look and enjoy the company. Happy New Year everyone!

Here is a photo I took just before hibernation for the last week. More to come when the weather isn't so frightful!

Thanks for the warm welcomes and the help with the photo. Not sure what I am doing wrong with the photos. I really love the car so far and will do wheels, body kit and maybe Teins.

congratz ... im up in MI as well and have the same BRP color that you have except mine has been driving through all the snow we have gotten. The SHAWD is a beast in the snow and I couldn't imagine driving through snow without it anymore

First drive in bad weather and the AWD didn't miss a beat. She's all dirty now and not sure when a bath is forthcoming. Maybe Sunday if the temps warm up enough to thaw out the hose!

I found out that with an Ipod the system will display the song title and has a pretty neat search function. It also takes away function from the Ipod itself but works pretty well IMHO. I'm discovering how things work but I have a garage door opener that defies pairing even with the visor transmitters. So the Homelink is still a no go. Ill post more pics next week but she's all stock at the moment but a really nice car. A few rattles here and there but nothing that is a buzzkill. Can't wait to properly detail and then polish the paint for a start. Glad to be a part of the community.
