i went to my local Acura dealer tonight to pick something up and on my way out i spotted an 05 blue TSX for sale. after looking over it i had a sudden change of heart:mfrown: gonna be going back first thing tomorrow morning to work out the numbers and if they give me a good enough deal then the EP will be traded in:mcry:

kinda sad that i never really got to build it the way i had planned but i guess we all move on eventually. although i haven't really been here all that long, i'd like to thank everyone here on ephatch for the warm welcome and family-like feel!

but hey, things might not work out tomorrow and i really don't mind either way! both ways i still make out!!:mcool:

Why would you want two of the same car that's the same color?

maybe he'll have one for show and one for go!

regardless, youre crazy man! i'd say go boosted k24 in the ep instead.

It's to confuse the insurance company and make them think stuff got stolen from his hooked up TSX so they write him a check to reimburse him for his losses.:mangel:

Yeah I'm subscribed just to find out why you want two of the same car...

He probably figured out that the EP isn't a good DD.:mcry:

LOL at all the comments!

The reason why I'm thinking about getting the same car is because I've always wanted two matching tsx's. When I was in the market for a dd my first thought was to look for another tsx. Obviously that didn't work out since at the time there were none on the market. Also, I already have some spare tsx parts so it works out! The only downside is that the car is automatic:mfrown:

You can always swap in an 04 ecu and boost it.:mbiggrin:

Boring. If you really want to go the '2 TSX' route, then at least get one of the new ones. You could have a 'before and after' garage.

there is a guy in my hometown that has two TSXs, one black, one silver. both stock. never understood that

I don't think I'm ever going to understand that logic. You have the purchasing power to buy two really nice cars... and you buy the same car twice.

I'd do it, one for DD to stack miles on keep it stock for ride purposes then have one fixed up and beastly

Interesting choice, I have 2 silver VWs a 2000 and a 2008. At least they are 2 different generations!

I was thinking the same thing. This is honestly one of the strangest things I've read on the forum. I really can't think of a single case where I would want to own two almost identical cars.

traded the EP in and got 2k. i put down 8k and got the car for 20k + fees. it was hard letting go of the car, something i don't wanna do again for a very long time.

look for my part out thread as soon as i'm able to reach 200 posts lol

You let your EP go for 2k?

............ for the exact same car?

You're a dental tech, i'd expect better choices!

Glad you did what you wanted to do and not what EPhatch wanted. Congrats on the new purchase...or 2nd purchase. Lol :)

I'm sure you did it because of the hassle factor but I can't imagine taking 2k for the ep when it could have sold privately for atleast 6k. Very nice twin though.

Hmmm. I don't know about the same car in the same color. That would get old to me. But it's your money.

The only downside is that the car is automatic:mfrown:

This should be okay for a daily driver, though I wouldn't get an auto trans., even for a DD.

i drove my sister's auto civic the other day. it was kinda nice having the auto during my usual stop and go commute.

but the rest of the time, i missed rowing thru the gears.

but back on topic, i'm surprised he hasn't dropped it and slapped on one of his sets of mugen wheels...
