Well, I had a breakdown this weekend and decided to celebrate hitting the 40's by buying a new car. I really had no intention but the deal was so good, it was a hard one to pass up.
Getting this car, I had one of the weirdest experiences.
I decided to get a 2006 as they were discounting them heavily, the only reason I did this. But the choices were limited and they didn't have my color. So they checked their computer for other dealers trying to see if they could trade for one. They were warning me it didn't look to good but after awhile they secured one with all the options I wanted. So now I am getting ready to do the paperwork.
As I start the sales rep gets called away and a few minutes later he has a look of horror on his face. It seems this car with 1.2 miles got hit being pulled into the other dealers garage and the front bumper, head light were smashed. Ugh, deal over. The sales manager comes up agologizing and says, we feel aweful, I am going to try the one other dealer who has the car you want and see if he will trade with us. After 15 minutes, I tell the rep. I am going home, call me if you can find one. I was pretty much sure the deal was dead in the water. As I walk out the sales manager calls out, we got it. Deal done. Phew.
So I got an Acura RL (Sport Sedan)
V6 3.5L 290hp 0-60 in 6.2 seconds (hey I am old fart)
and yes, for those who attended the OF Lan party a last year, it has a Navigation system and we all know what happend at the OF Lan party. Yeah yeah yeah, I know, we drove down a one way street the opposite way but damnit, did I not get us to the hotel. :P
I won't take delivery till Thursday so here is a brochure pic.

For some of you youngins, probably a little conservative but hey, I am an old fart.
