First of all, I would like to say that my dealer(Heritage) is first class all the way. My salesman, who happens to auto-x as well, knew all about the car. Every detail was covered on delivery. Radio code, gas&trunk release, secret compartment, dipstick&fluids, and any other imaginable spec. They polished and waxed the car, no swirl marks! Perfect. My hats off to Heritage, they'll get a good report on the survey.

First impressions: I've never sat in one up to this point. A little suprised how snug I fit considering im 5'8". This is a good thing. It is weird how some of my preconceptions about this car from reading this board were realized where others were not. This car is all and expected and ten fold more. No lie. I also can't believe the attention it draws. It is embarrassing to me as I don't like too much attention but WOW it is cool in its own way. I feel like a celebrity driving around.
I now know what all the ranting and raving is about. VTEC is coming by the weekend(put 110 mi on last night) and hopefully I can sneek in an auto-x somewhere before winter hits.

The most impressive feature so far: top down driving in 40deg weather and normal conversational volume.

Thanks to everyone on the board for providing me with information(overload) on this fantastic work of art.

Bill

Try not to have too much fun. Nearly impossible.

Hey Bill, was it Westminster Heritage or Towson Heritage? I'm getting mine through Westminster and hope to get the same great service. Congratulations!

Congratulations Bill! I'm sure you're very excited...

We can be an unruly bunch on occasion (especially me!... ) but this place does have a lot of smart people (present company excluded)... hehe

Enjoy the car...see you in Asheville in April!

The fun is just beginning. Check your regularly after you start hitting VTEC! One day you will notice that your VTEC punch has gone away and you are a quart low.


Enjoy!

Congratulations, you lucky man! I hope I get the same service from Heritage in Townsend, although I instructed them not to wax the car (I'm going to use the Zaino clay bar and other products right from the start).

Hope to see you on the roads around Maryland and DC soon.
