Hi everyone,
I'm Alan (age 61) and live in Elk Grove, CA.. I've owned several Hondas since 1982 but this is my first Acura, a base TLX in slate silver/ alabaster. I've had it for 11 days and have put up 420 miles of fun driving. I'm coming out of a Sienna van that we've owned for a soul-crushing 17 years, 229k miles. (I feel like I can breathe again!)
I was checking out the tinting thread. I got 5% on all three rears. It keeps out nosey people and keeps those 5000° temp. headlights on pickups from burning a hole in my eyes at night.
I dropped my Sirius tuner in the armrest compartment and it fits rather nicely. I have a lifetime Sirius subscription with that tuner so I will pass on the on-board subscription after the 90 days expires. Paddle shifters are new to me but are easy to learn and fun on those windy country roads.
Wifey has a 2011 Pilot EX-L with 50k on it. She wants to look at the 2016 RDX when it intros next month. I had a 2015 RDX for a courtesy loaner last week. That baby could really move!
Looks like a bunch of good people here. I look forward to learning more about our cars here.
