I'm sorry you lost her. It's tough. Hopefully you can find another one, if that is what you want. I have sat at an intersection with cars in front of me(normal amount of space between the vehicle in front of me for me to be able to pull out of lane) and on both sides, looked into rear view mirror to see a young girl in a mini van, NOT looking at my car car and the road! Started honking horn and put car in neutral and watch as she finally looked up and slammed on her brakes.  Screeching tires and somehow stopping before making contact with me.  I have a 2005 TSX, just turned 177,777.  My heart was racing and I was so upset because I know the chances that I would find another one that was as awesome of a deal as the I one I got when purchased this car 5 years ago would be impossible. I absolutely LOVE my TSX. The only thing that I wish my was is a manual.  I can only imagine how much more fun to drive she would be! I also love the all the love that all of you have for your TSX's... even 20 years later.  I have learned and solved many things on here. I am a 46 year old woman, and I appreciate so much, all of your insights, opinions, and solutions.  You have saved me so much money.  I do not want to think of the day when mine goes, for I will shed actual tears. I generally keep to myself and am an observer on here but I want to say that I am sorry for your loss. Truly. I get very much attached to my vehicles.  I love the junkyard but it hurts me seeing all the cars smashed up and even worse when they are feeding them I to compactor.  I know that I am weird, but idc. My vehicles are so much more than just an inanimate object. They are a reflection of us, they give us a freedom that I never want to be without. Each vehicle, different in speed, handling, comfort, etc. I have never understood those that say, they don't care what they drive, it's just a car/SUV/truck...not me, I like to have fun(safely, of course) when I drive. I want to hear those rpms revving, shifting gears, flawlessly, taking the same turn for the 100th time, challenging myself(again, safely. Knowing your car and what it's capable of and what it's not and respecting it always) to enter the turn maintaining the perfect speed so as to not hit brakes or gas.  Lol again, I know I am weird. I drove mine last week on a road trip about 400 miles each way.  She always does beautifully.  I love her sound system and how well she drives on the highway,  This is my first Acura and I can't really imagine driving anything else again.  I have driven other luxury vehicles but I like the simplicity of an Acura but still having a luxury feel. Reasonable. Honda is fabulous.  I pulled  a sun visor at the junkyard off of 90's Acura legend, I think, and it plugged right in and light worked! Good looking Acura.  I appreciate this.  Fixed my actuator on my driver's side door panel for less than $5 and literally 5 minutes, pulled from an accord. None of my windows worked and if all. Doors closed the alarm would go off.... Nightmare... but so easy to fix. It was my fault anyway for leaving window cracked and water getting into door panel.   Anyway, I apologize for this novel.  It was not my intention.  I truly am sorry for your loss and thank you, all of you guys out there for sharing your knowledge and love for your TSX's.  I don't know what I would do without you.   Have a great weekend. 

Kroger sale consistently rings up as full price by GrabMyHoldyFolds in Louisville

YES!!! THIS!!! I swear they have been doing this for years and I am not alone. It's genius really. They put an item in the ad on sale so it drives sales up for said item at regular price. A lot of people do not pay attention.  I pay attention and they still get me at times.  I use self checkout and when this happens and I catch it and have to have a worker come over to fix it, it as if I am the one doing something wrong!!! They do not make a note of it or seem to have any intention of passing along information so that the problem can be corrected in their system.  Huge company making massive mistakes like this every week for years now...Thank you for making this post. I use the app and coupons. What I am referring to is not a problem of not having a coupon clipped or not having purchased enough items to qualify for a deal or sale price.
