Holy crap! I'll really miss seeing you around, but let's stay in touch for sure. Can you PM me your email address? I'll make sure you are aware of picnics or whatever so you can hang w/ your homies.

okay so looks like I am going to keep the IS and trade in her TSX. RDX is going to be the replacement in the near future. Drove it today and I am actually pretty impressed with it. I didnt mind driving it myself. Its pretty peepy with the turbo and its MUCH more comfortable then the previous Acura's I have owned and her TSX. It has more then enough room for what we need and most important she like it and felt comfortable driving it. here a just a few pics I took to share with everyone...










thats all. I am also very impressed with the Acura navigation as I was in the past. They did away with the touch screen but still very user friendly. Works while in motion also Honda did a great job taking the CRV and using it in the Acura line up. Hope all goes well and if so you are all stuck with me for a little longer...(LOL)

Jeez. Now I have to cancel the 100 balloons and circus animals I ordered for your farewell party. LOL.

Good to see that you are hanging around. Are you actually going to SC your car?

NEW "TSX" out just killed the value of the car and I lease. I wont turn in a car and give them $$$...They know what they need to do and I am ready to hand over the car. Its about 16 mos with less then 10k miles on it and really clean. we never use it as I hate to drive it. seats are SOO terrible in the old TSX. cant say how they are in the new model. I only got it because of the good deal from my friend and to her its just a car...

I stopped shaving my legs in high school didnt know that was still the "cool" thing to do haha....im waiting for my TeinSS present you where giving me for staying around

Mike,

That is the exact same car my sister traded her MDX for last week. She has the turbo and gray on gray. She really likes the vehicle.

back to letting the car go. Her car just wont make sense to trade in so I will drive her car till the lease is up and will trade my car in for the new one.

For those who sent PM's please watch the classified section as I will be listing the items that make sense to remove from the car. I didn't keep the PM's anyone had originally sent so please re send them.

Thanks everyone!
Mike
