Well folks, count me among the "satisfied former Acura TSX owners" now. I stopped by the dealer today to investigate terminating my lease, and they made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
 
It's a terrific car that I know I'll miss, but I was ready to move on. I know you'll all continue to enjoy yours, and don't worry, I'll stop by every once in a while ...

I needed some help from the Host to not stray off topic.

Yeah, I know.
 
I wasn't able to do it for a long time either. The TSX was the perfect blend of comfort, performance, and reliability. If I could only own one car, the TSX would still be in my garage.
 
But I already have a company car for during the week, and last year I bought a new Volvo for the family. The Volvo is a really pleasant touring car that has similar luxury, safety, and reliability (imagine that!) as the TSX. Suddenly, the TSX was too much car for being a simple weekend toy - the TSX's perfect blend of comfort, performance, and reliability was no longer a match for my lifestyle. So I decided to replace it with something with a more undiluted driving experience.
 
I started looking at used BMW 3-series cars, Porsche 911's, restored 1970's Alfa Romeo's - I even considered the Mitsubishi Evo and Subaru STi. But no matter where my attention drifted, I kept coming back to the E30 BMW. I've just always loved it - the steering, the sweet I-6, the looks. But good ones are rare, and it took over a year for this one to cross my path. Thankfully, I was in the right place at the right time.
 
Just a purely emotional decision. Long answer to a short question, huh?

Hey, Fedlawman, congrats on the new car. Judging from the pics, it looks to be pretty clean. Looks sweet, too. I'd be interested to hear your comparison of the driving experience between the two cars, once you've had a chance to drive the Bimmer for a while.
 
The 400 lbs less weight alone will probably make a big difference. I'd also be interested to hear how the Acura I4 stacks up against the BMW I6.
 
Anyway, good luck with the new ride. We'll miss you at the TSX meets.
 
Johnny

Johnny420 - Unfortunately, I won't have the BMW in time for the June 11th Magnuson Park Acura meet, but I'll bring it to the next one. You remind me of another thing I'll miss about owning the Acura - the fine community of owners I've met in the Pacific Northwest.
 
Gee35 - Have you been to Bobcor Alfa's Website? No quicker way to raise your spirits (and drain your wallet) then to peruse their inventory of fully restored Alfa Romeo GTV's, Guilia's, Sprints, and Spiders. http://www.bobcoralfa.com/salespage.html
