Sounds like a plan
It's not bad if you need furniture etc. but not just to go check it out. I have 2 bedroom sets and other random stuff from Ikea. It's nice stuff, not the greatest but priced pretty good.
Maybe they're shorter? I don't think my stuff is low to the ground.

That will be my biggest regret with having a manual in the future at my office job in some city.
Blasphemy!
Actually, VW's DSG transmissions never cease to amaze me. I haven't driven Mazda's new AT's but apparently they're getting good feedback despite using a traditional torque converter. I've been DD'ing the Ford tank for a while now but I've been saying if I ever need to pick up another smaller DD I'd go with the new Mazda3 or a VW Golf. Speaking of the latter did anyone see the spec's of the new Golf R?
I know, I'm a terrible person and can no longer be a considered a car enthusiast.
292 hp, 280tq? Part of me says that's great, part of me isn't impressed. Maybe because it's a Golf for almost $40k? I like the Golf R's but I don't ever see myself owning one.
I bet the ladies love your left calf

You'll regret it.
I don't think I would if I end up working downtown. Besides, the TSX wagon only comes in an auto.

Your situation is different. You can't really find a truck with a stick anymore unless you get a base work truck. Plus, as you said, you've got a stick shift in your toy. Nate doesn't have one of those.
Nate, I smell a manual swap on your horizon then. Haha
Fixed. I haven't done a ton of research on the TSX because I'm not really looking, but I think it's the same 2.4 from the civic Si. So a swap might be possible.
We have a decent amount of snow here already and seems to be kinda heavy.
Commercials were just bad overall this year, and not that many were "new".
Nationwide...

My wife was crying several times last night because of those damn commercials.
What's everyone's wrenching plans this spring/summer?
On my to do/wish list is:
Oil Change
Wash & wax of course!
Pick at least one track day and or auto-x day I'm doing and sign up.
Purchase a Helmet
Get 1 more tire for the fd wheels, have 2 of them mounted and balanced. Also need to decide if I want to paint them and what color. I'm thinking bronze-ish
Install coil-overs and swaybars, need to get end links.
Alignment
Remove door guards and Mazdaspeed emblem.
Replace pads and rotors and brake fluid.

The P5 needs pads and rotors, the other 2 motor mounts installed, and an oil change. The 3, if we ever get it back from my daughter (she borrowed it in September) desperately needs an oil change and an oil leak fixed. The CX5 needs nothing.
I also need to decide on a track day or 2 and get signed up. I believe this is the last year I will be able to use my current helmet since it has a 2010 date. Is that right?
My plan is to do a lot of remodeling on our house and possibly have a new garage built.
edit: I might upgrade the rear sway bar on both the P5 (if I can find one cheap) and the CX5. The CX5 understeers like one would expect but it is just too much imo.
