Also...



Not to counteract your experiences, but I'm local to this dealership and I would -not- recommend them to anyone.

I have had bad experiences with them personally, and I believe there was a story on the forum about how poorly they treated a customer about a year ago.

Really? Im suprised to hear that, they were very courteous and kind, they made sure my vehicle was clean and ready to go before I came to pick it up, and all the paperwork took like 45 min and I was out. I didnt have any issues at all although the sales rep who was helping/talking to me over the phone and who I met to put in a deposit got fired the next day so I was skeptical at first, but the sales manager (Mr.Taylor) took care of me well when it was time to go pick up the vehicle. Only minor complaint I have is they are taking longer than expected to send my license plates, but that doesnt effect how well I was treated at the dealership itself.

anyways what happened??

boosted civic si last night consistantly doing pulls right next to me with the HKS queef bov(worst product hks has made imo) **** hurt my ears so i rolled up my window and still kept doing it. it didnt last much longer.

thats actually the first time i got any douches messing with me(excludes lifted trucks and suvs)

actually earlier before there was a army convoy in some kind of military vehicle(had 4 axles 8 wheels) they gave me the thumbs up and pointed forward. had to give them a thumbs up and make a little music as a thank you

I had this happen to me when my car was brand new... but I'll take some of the blame because it happened at the nascar race in Michigan right outside of Detroit.... probably not the smartest idea on my part. lol :iamwithstupid:

yeah it was spit, little bubbles in it and all...at first i thought it was a big water droplet, but when i looked closer sure enough, someone had decided that they were going to turn back into being a 3 year old and spit on my car :ugh2:

Probably the smartest post in this thread. Some of the hottest girls are the ones who don't realize it, or just plain don't give a sh*t.

How do most of you guys drive your Zs? Drive too fast/aggressive, and people think you're a self-righteous douche. Drive obnoxiously slow, and people will think you're... well, a self-righteous douche LOL!

Maybe you bought the car for its performance, so it would be a shame to cruise around just doing the speed limit? Maybe you don't want to waste your hard earned money by putting your car at risk with spirited driving?

We all make assumptions. I don't doubt that 'haters' exist out there. Me? I drive pretty beat looking cars, but I take reasonably good care of them. If I spot a Z, I get a little excited since I think it's a gorgeous car and still a pretty rare sight, even here in SoCal.

From some of these replies, I know a lot of you guys would get 'rubbed' the wrong way if I followed (not tailgated) you for a bit, or heaven forbid, park next to you, because I admired your car! :stirthepot:

Actually, this may be the smartest post in the thread. While I do not doubt anyone's story in this thread, the idea that you all drive like little angels is probably a stretch. It only takes one person acting like a fool to bring prejudice on an entire group.

The smallest mis-interpreted action can generate outrageous responses, especially in today's "it's all about me" society. Anyone driving a nice car, especially a heavily modded one, is going to draw attention to themselves, both good and bad.

Well, speaking for myself, I do not think that how I drive is the main issue here. I follow the speed limits and traffic laws about 97% of the time. Which means I try my best to follow the speed limit, I make sure I indicate when im merging or switching lanes, I dont tailgate, (well not purposely anyways), but I do admit I speed up on the freeway sometimes, on the weekends when im out, or just with other friends we like to go for a drive or whatever, so yeah im in a happy medium between driving too fast/aggressive and too slow/cautious, yet there seems to be some person who decides they have to make a fool of themselves, why? I don't know it could be a combination of many of the factors already discussed, but I doubt its because of my driving habits.

The only people's who's feelings i care about when it comes to my driving are my passenger and police. :p

not sure if we were supposed to be able to tell what race you are talking about based on the described driving maneuver... but um.... i dont think anyone can.

While one local dealer had one listed on their web site, the car had been sold. To date, I've actually found only one car so-equipped, but didn't like the color. I'm just going to wait for the spring.

Can you recommend an Acura dealer for service? My wife has an MDX.

I go to Gillman Acura, been going there since 2001. Ask for Wally Mendez as a service advisor, he always takes good care of my wife and I. About the Z, i am on the pre-order list for a 2012 Monterey Blue base+sport+ Auto, there is a serious shortage in Houston i've noticed.

Ha, I've had a teenager give me the finger. He was sitting in the back seat of a Civic as it passed me in the carpool lane. I just smiled back at him. :-)

I actually notice less cars try to race me in my 370z. I notice more try to race my '07 Acura TL-S.
