I must say I was unimpressed. I guess I am too spoiled with the bells and whistles in the TL. IMO, the suspension was more rough than my crappy HT Spec coilovers. All in all I wasn't comfortable inside there and it sure it not worth $46k. Then as I was leaving I saw a couple guys staring @ my TL and then I started blushing :theghey:

I just know that the Cadillac really need to do a huge overhaul to the Escalade... the Tech is prehistoric and the car is going to turn into what The Lincoln Navigator has become it they don't make changes...

I've actually seen a lot of TSXs lately on the road. I saw three of the 12's on I10 today... here in Houston.

I think now that the ilx is the entry level car for Acura, a lot of people are realizing how much value you get with the TSX. So you are having people that normally buy the 335 BMW or the Acura TL give the TSX a second look.

Just from looking at map and seeing how big the area of the boardwalk is I suggest this.
Turn left/right off 146 onto 6th st, take immediate left onto Texas ave and then immediate right into parking area next to boat slip area. From map looks to be best for us to park free. I'll call you badassvtech tomorrow. Thanks again Houston family for your time to meet this one Memphis guy.

this guy lol

nobody would wanna meet up early,ive been up since 745 running some errands.

I would meet up earlier than that but the rest wont be able to.

Lets try to meet up on time so it only takes ~30mins to get there

no way its gonna take 45min/1hr to get there & settle down
