Unhappy Buh-bye!

My endless wait is now over. I have signed the papers for an Acura CL-S 6-speed. It was an agonizing decision to be honest, but the long wait finally pushed me over the edge.

Unlike a certain BMW owner (who shall remain nameless) I probably won't hang around here offering semi-unwanted comments, even though I retain a certain affinity for the Coupe.

I enjoyed the board & most of its denizens during my brief stay, which is more than I can say for most car-oriented sites.

Adios, and I hope that all of your cars run flawlessly for as long as you keep them.

Wasn't it less than a month until the coupe arrived? I hope you enjoy the Acura as much as I enjoy the coupe. Your contributions to the board will be missed. At least come around and say hello once in a while.

Mapman, do check in now and then. We've enjoyed your comments. You are always welcome here, as long as you don't try to convince us that your Acura kicks Mercedes butt... even if it does in some areas. Enjoy!

Awaiting a new arrival...
I just knew if some spring weather broke early enough and your S2000 got your attention 1-on-1, it would sway you back to the darkside of the Acura. Just kidding.

Congratulations on your purchase.

Spring has pretty much blown chunks around here. February was warmer!

Thanks for the kind words. I'll check in once in a while and maybe offer a sarcastic comment or two. Perhaps even insult a boy-band if the opportunity arises...
