ATS looks good, I think you made the right choice too

I tried very hard to get my wife to consider an ATS a few months back, but she wouldn't budge. I had an XTS as a rental last summer in LA and didn't mind it, the ATS is a much better size and package. I like it.

ATS all day especially when the new Civic Turbo is faster than the outgoing Civic Si (assuming the ILX is manual too)

They stopped making the ILX manual with the refresh last year

Give one a drive. So many cool little touches. The door handles light up the same color as the HIDs when you approach the car at night.

Well, that didn't take long. I was at a charity event last night, and the valet backed my car into something. Yay.

I honestly don't know how you crash a car with a backup camera that beeps the whole time you're doing something stupid. In any event, I went back to the hotel and let them know how I feel about it. I filled out a claim form. The only thing I'm a little concerned about is that they asked me to provide a copy of my valet slip, but I cannot find it anywhere. I'm reasonably certain I handed it to the valet when I tipped him as I left. It shouldn't matter, but we'll see if they try to weasel out of responsibility because of that. I drove home and noticed it in the morning, but I suppose I can't really prove any of that. This was at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas.

The woman who helped me feel out the form (she's a manager) is the one who took my car from me when we arrived, and I tipped her when I dropped it off, which she remembered. She'd have to be willing to lie, and she seemed like a nice enough lady. Nevertheless, I have a bad feeling that they're going to be jerks about it.
