One thing I have to say. Laser Red is pretty, but it is nothing like the Milano Red on my Prelude. Milano Red is perhaps the nicest red I have seen on a car, ever.

The most comfortable seat of any car I have ever owned....honest. It's amazing.

I love the clock. My dad had a Q45 and I loved that clock. Just looked stylish up there. Glad they kept the clock.

.....it really is a pretty car. Great lines, just like the Prelude.

So far only a couple of complaints. Like why does this car have a cassette player? Who does that?

VDC sucks. It defaults to on when you start the car and if you don't turn it off, which is easily forgotten, it slams on the brakes and backs off the throttle just when you start having fun in the curves.......it sucks. I'm driving the car, I do not want the car driving the car! What's the point?


Seats are awesome. Drove straight through to Austin, Texas and damn, was it a nice drive. Not one cramp or ache.....nothing.


More updates as I drive.

Latest Complaint: Too much brake dust kicking out on the front rims. Impossible to keep clean, and talking with other owners, this is a major problem with the car. I hate it because I want my car to be spotless all the time.! GRRR!

Still lovin the ride though, a LOT! and it's getting to be even more fun as I put more horses under the hood!!!) Wooo Hooo!

Got locked out of my car. Disarmed the alarm with the remote, but the doors didn't unlock. Unlocked the door with the key and the freakin thing went crazy. The key is supposed to override the remote and shunt the alarm when you unlock the door, but this time it didn't. Couldn't stop the alarm, except when it would reset itself and then go off again.

Couldn't start my car. The ignition kill was active. Had to have it put on a flatbed and hauled to the dealer. They aren't sure what happened. They're repairing it free of charge, but I am going to go ahead and have it deactivated and put a Viper in its place.

Hope this isn't some weird sign of electronic problems down the road....

Factory alarm is no more. Had it yanked and installed a Viper setup with remote start, GPS tracking, window roll up and pager. Works great. Feel like the car is better protected now and it's very cool to be able to start the car from inside, just to screw with people standing near it....funny looks on their faces. I love it! Also had the XM hooked up and got my sat antenna on the top of the rear window, now I have a cool antenna like all the other jerks out there.....

Road trip to Las Vegas was uneventful. As in nothing bad happened. Which is good. Had a lot of triple digit fun on the straight highways through New Mexico and Arizona. The car runs well past 150 mph, no problem. Not many ricers to pick on as we drove. Did find and eat a few Camaros and Mustangs and another G35 coupe, whose driver had no CLUE what he has in his car ;nor how to drive it.....sad. Should be a law against people buying cars when they have no clue what they bought or what their car is capable of...Waste of money and of a good car in most cases.

The seats were once again the most comfortable of any car I have ever taken on an extended length trip. Both of us were alert, no exhaustion at all and not stiff when we arrived after two days of driving. Thank God for XM radio and GPS....at least we had something to do.

No major G events have taken place. Not a lot of time as of late for toys, unfortunately.
