What did you do to your ACURA today?

I've seen this on Multiple car and motorcycle forums. Kinda of a cool thread to see what people do day to day.

Ill get it started!

Today I put together a list of Audio componets to be installed within the next couple of weeks.

Glad you asked!! My '05 TSX passed NJ inspection this morning at exactly 7:38AM, EST.
I hate dealing with authority figures! But, they were all young gals, and they liked my baby (TSX).

Sitting the garage today (rode my motorcycle to work) but yesterday washed and changed the oil/filter on my TL. One day maybe perfect the art of not get oil all over the right lower control arm getting the old filter out.

1985 Honda VF500F, 1st and only bike.

Thought about getting a 2007 CBR1000RR a year ago. Heyser Cycle was selling new 2007 RR's for $8K in January (leftover from 07), there's a nice black one in the bike lot at work. Don't care for the new style (2008)

Drove the TL to work this morning. I was in a good mood for some reason, so I drove it pretty hard. Hearing the exhaust roar and the tires squeal always makes me smile.

I removed a light mystery scratch on the rear of my CL-S, and polished up the plenums back to their normally clean and shiny state.

I tried everything to avoid the oil everywhere mod.
They should design an oil filter with a built-in drain plug. I've seen valves for the DP–but nothing for the filter.

put some leather conditioner on the steering wheel and shift boot and knob. I also got the idea to hit the interior wood trim with some wax and buffed it and it made it way shinier.

Washed it
Vacuumed it
Shined the tires
Put some Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner in (dunno if it really works, but it feels like it drives better)
Put mile# 157,000 on it

Drove it to the mall. Yesterday I went for a blast down some windy roads, and got her covered in dust from hauling down a dirt road. Need to wash her, but I'm lazy and sooner or later it's going to rain.

I did my yearly fill of refrigerant. Yay for putting off real maintenance (actually solving the problem) for another summer! Also I filled it up and found I was getting 27mpg in town.
