2012 Silvermoon TSX SE
In August 2012 i finally buckled down, sold my 01 gsr DD for a downpayment on a new. I was in a search for a 6sp TSX but didn't know which platform to go with. Well that was easy since Acura had decided to only offer the manual transmission in the Special Edition. So I was on a mission to look for this, hitting a few acura dealerships.
At first it was not looking too well since 2 dealerships didn't have a 6sp, trying to swing me toward an automatic navi being a better choice. I finally tracked down 2 tsx SE 6sp's that was semi close to me. A silver one that was in my state, or a Milano red tsx in the neighboring state. Originally wanted a white one, but silver is my next favorite, so it worked out quite nicely.
The next day, I went to test drive the beauty. This thing had 2 miles, gave it another 2 miles and I knew this had to be mine!
Long story short, my uncle and I worked our Asian haggling skills on the salesman and got a fair price. Drove her off the lot the next day.
I told myself Over and over I'll be keeping this car stock as I have an ek hatch track car I have to mess with, but I feel the "bug" getting the best of me. As if its slow creeping on to this car. So since this is my first brand new car I'll start my first thread just incase I break. Enjoy

Congrats on the purchase, they are super nice cars! That's actually the silver moon color, forged silver is the blueish silver color. I'll be pulling the trigger in the next month or two ( getting too hard to just look at, at the dealership I work for) keep us up to date on how yours goes!

Ooo right, thanks for the correction. I have a feeling nothing will be touched on the tsx till next spring, since I witness the harsh winters of Michigan lol. I'll be K'ing my hatch during the winter, then fixing up the suspension on my toyota camry first.
