You can swap badges but you can't get new wheels?

Badges I did a looooong time ago...

As @Ultramaroon keeps reminding me, the stockers are still functional

Believe me, I want those Rays wheels. Gotta work on driver mod still. Planning on upgrading brake pads and fluids if I fully commit to track days.

So, I bought a TSX.
I actually really like it. Stock sound system is a million times better than the one in my WRX and also a lot less road noise in the cabin.

It was kind of weird/refreshing driving an "old" car after only driving newer ones for a while. Doesn't feel nearly as wide or as "big" in general and outward visibility is great.

What year?

I dunno if I will ever get the itch to own an Acura, unless you hand me keys to any NSX, but the TSX is ok.

Once the driver mod improves you'll want wheels that are light and stuff...

Stop by for a 2 day AutoX in Milwaukee July 2-3 en route to Cleveland...

Cleveland has the same problems as every other city, but the reason I get upset is mostly because of the potholes, so yes.

Whaaaat, you mean you don't want to drive across 2/3 of the country, across 3 time zones, basically never having to leave I-90, just to come to Cleveland where I proposed an event where people just show up and there's no plan?
