Then you got your Suzuki Blue 05. Then you got your Blue Rav4. Then you got your Blue NSX. Then you got your Blue Crosstour. If my math is correct, that's 5 cars you've had (that I know of) in 8 years. One every 19 months, give or take. Did I miss any?
I'm not picking on you- if anything I'm jealous. OK, when it comes to your NSX, I'm really jealous.
You have a great memory, Dean. Yes, I had an '01 Silverstone and we (my husband at the time) kept it when I got the '05 Suzuka. We had fun driving them together and he still owns it. Last I heard he was in the low 90,0000 mileage range. My '05 Suzuka has over 92,600 miles on it and it's in my garage. I bought the '05 Long Beach Blue NSX in March 2009. It's also in my garage but I'm keeping the miles low on it. I bought the NSX instead of getting a 2009 Laguna Blue S2000. But then I couldn't part with the S. The NSX is at around 22,600 miles now, after I bought it with 11,800 miles. I am keeping the three blue Hondas. Well, unless Honda comes out with a replacement for the S2000. Then I might sell the S for something new, but it's close to 100,000 miles. I put around 58,000 miles on the '01 S2000 before my then-husband took it over. I know I'm a lucky girl to be able to have these cars. Some women would rather spend their money on cruises or travel, or fancy clothes or big fat diamonds. I like LL Bean, car meets and cars.

I like ^that. Does it exist in real life somewhere?
Well sort of
It does not come in a manual
Is the Crosstour only an automatic?
Here, I'll change the grill and you wil recognize it...



Acura TSX Sport Wagon
Yeah, it looks much better with the Honda grill than the Acura grill. And the Crosstour only comes with an automatic. It's so cushy compared to the S and NSX. It's at the dealership with just 119 miles on it, getting a tiny scratch fixed and the new wheels put on. I'm really looking forward to a long drive in it.

Darn close
The one pictured is a '65, mine was a '64
Back when I was 16, the 170 ci I6 was plenty fast enough

Ellen, I'm not real crazy about the "Glacier Blue Metallic" but it was the one color I disliked the least. It's super metallic, like Silverstone. I'd like Silverstone better though.

I should be the one crying. My blower's still at 928 waiting for a bearing for the Novi 1000. I'm driving the Silverado back and forth to work since Barb won't let me take the Crosstour in case it rains.

And it's rained a lot lately.
