I don't mind it. My first Lexus LS was that color. But often people associate it with old people....

I had exactly half that...112,500 when I sold it.
Dumb me, I had scratches on the hood, car broker I bought from had it fixed for cheap...ended up doing the entire car another color on the cheap and made it look like a heap.
but it was solid...I also was mad at myself for settling on LX and not EX. Live and learn! That car was what taught me not to settle on lower trim, be sure what you want.

Ok, I know it'll be more work and you will have to think when you mount tires...but can someone make a set of directional wheels that actually go the same way on both sides? FUCKKKK

the front end is still weird looking to me.
I enjoy how previous Honda and acura's came to a point in the middle

I bought mine new, $20,300 due the leather. Traded it on a 2005 Black Cherry Pearl LS430, and got $1750 on the trade in, with the 225K miles. Never owned LX. Since 1992, had been EX. Though I know how you feel. Owned a 1992 Integra LS. Couldn't afford the GS-R the first year, then traded in the 93, for the Aztec Pearl GS-R.

A thousand times, this!

HondAcura seems to get a sick little (It's that kind of) thrill out of this lately. Assymetrical wheels are the devil's plaything. Symmetrical is classy and upscale. Ninja-star looking wheels are low rent and plebeian.

speaking of Integra...the GSR blades were going the wrong way on one side of the car too!
All the new bling blingers are doing it too...like, nobody thinks we'll make a left/right set for anything that has a blade ocean wave shape?!?! CMON BRO.
OCD be kickin...

My mother had a GS-R!

Sweet jeebus... If it wouldn't piss some people off, I'd say you should ask him to list off the *really* interesting cars that he's owned...

More cars than some dealerships go through. I get fully jelly when he starts talking about my dream cars that he's owned, and I'm not afraid to admit it.

But, you know, this isn't www.2012wagonslistofcars.com, so I won't mention it.

pre-beak.
the 3G TL, 1G TSX, CL and 2nd gen TL all had this characteristic of symmetry coming to a point in the middle.

I wonder if upgraded tires will be an option. Will the RDX Elite and RLX be dethroned? What throne were they sitting on top of anyway?

Oh, that was great! Is Honda Rick drunk in all of his videos? Because I think I have a bro-crush on him and want to watch more.
