Oooh I was going to let it be a secret. Well I was going to go order a TSX 6spd with tech pkg BUT the earthquake hampered the Acura plant's output, so a lot of the used car market prices inflated (especially acura

). Obviously the earthquake hurt more than Acura. I believe they're up an running at full capacity. I haven't checked yet. I've also found a few TL Type S's that I wouldn't mind traveling to buy.

I'm just making sure this is the best purchase an no regrets. So making ends meet while using a family car. FTW! Secretly I haven't given up the research on the RS4 (still a great car), but carbon buildup is a serious issue, which AofA has no solution for yet. Also plagues the R8 just in smaller numbers since it's relatvely new. I haven't even looked into an A4 (ironically did a little more research of the A3). Either way if i WAS to even attempt to get an audi, why not the RS4?

Right now it's definitely Acura FTW. I have 2 dealers with an hr's drive both east and west of me. My goal is to buy 2 cars. I'm not going to lie, having 1 car an something happening to it, is awfully gay. But i'd definitely post back on this post ASAP.

Lol I put 16.7 gallons in it(18 gallon tank), it started "choking" so I finally gave into the anxiety of running low on gas. Just fyi you don't have to fillup at 200 miles or so, I used to do that. I seem to get a lot better mpgs on these 100+ degree days. But it feels down on power and starts to overheat if I drive around too much. Is that normal ? Over an hour of driving and it starts heating up, BUT if I go on the highway or go without stopping it cools down(or if I drive like a grandma).
