I traded in my '03 Ford Ranger for this sweet 2005 Acura TSX. It's pretty much stock, straight from the dealer, and is in good condition. This is a huge step up from the Ranger: everything manual to everything power, and then some. The TSX came with a few OEM upgrades... the trunk tray, metal-look interior trim, and "invisible bra."

Just three days after buying the car, I started looking at performance mods. The K&N Typhoon CAI just arrived, and I'll be installing that shortly.

I'll also be detailing this fine ride in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned for those pics.

Here's what she looks like, no mods, straight from the dealer...

Nice sunny day in Seattle looking over Lake Union.

I think it'd look pretty good with a rear wing spoiler. Something steamlined and classy.

The two-tone interior... black leather seats and inner doors, with silver metallic details from the dash on up.

Standard console, and showing off the "metal-look" trim.

The engine's clean, look's good. No mods yet!

The stock 17" rims. These are currently the weakest part of the ride -- they're nice enough, but seem plasticky and are showing some curb rash and grime, but that'll change after some detailing work. I'd like to save up and scout out some new rims and tires.

Think I should go for a certain mod? Let me know what you think! Sign my guest book, or rate the ride.
