Good morning, just registered yesterday. I got my Apex blue TLX Type S in July and I'm really happy so far (800 miles).

I'm in British Columbia. My plan for the winter is to garage it and drive it only on sunny days with no snow or salt.

Congrats, and good colour choice. Also, welcome to Acurazine.

The Type-S is so much fun to drive that I don't want to miss driving it one single day. Since Vancouver doesn't get much snow, I'll slap on a set of high performance winter tires for the winter months.

Proper winter tires + SH-AWD = virtually invincible on snow and ice, as long as the ground clearance allows.

I'm shopping for a Type S in Ontario. If you don't mind, were you able to negotiate below retail? Any discount on accessories? Thanks!

Maybe side skirts next year, I did tint the rear (5) windows, 3M front clip and ceramic coat the rest of the car.

The picture really doesn't do justice to the color, before I ordered my Type S I saw an Aspec in the sunshine on the dealers lot and fell n love with the color!

Alpha Tauri should use that blue for their F1 car (powered by Honda) this weekend at the US Grand Prix (with Acura livery) instead of the rather drab muted blue and white scheme
