Pulled the trigger on a 2019 MDX A-Spec - Really happy with everything so far, love the aggressiveness of this thing for a mini-human and doggo mover. Wife finally got the black on black SUV she always wanted. Hat tip to Anton over at Burrard Acura, great service and help getting this done.

Both cars out for photos in the last couple weeks. Felt like summer, now it doesn't.

Off topic slightly, but is this generation of G35 still a good buy for a fun/weekend car? I imagine they will need some maintenance given the age/mileage, but anything catastrophic?

^ Other than typical VC leaks, I know the VQ's are pretty reliable! Higher mileage ones will burn oil, so just have to watch out for that. I find these cars, along with 350z's, very easy to work on as well.

Most of them end up in the hands of Surrey teenagers & are completely rat-bagged by now. Would be worth waiting for a cared-for example.

I have the same car and was debating on buying those headlights. How are you liking it compared to the brightness vs the OEM? They say it condensates inside the unit, have you experienced it yet?

these 90's / 2000's cars look so refreshing compared to the modern day behemoths we have rolling around.

Look at that integra inside the “small car” parking stall. Ample space on both sides. I don’t recall the integra being super small on the inside either. A whole crew of nammers used to pop out of one and roll on people so I’m sure it had enough space

valve cover gasket went and was leaking a lot but was an easy fix, oil consumption is kind of annoying but not too bad. tons of fun and parts have been relatively cheap comparing to my g37

the light output isn't terrible but I lost one of the caps for the back of the headlight and water keeps getting in.. and the manufacturer doesn't sell just the cap
Trying to find a ghetto fix for this so any input would be great

Check the junkyard.

Either its clear coat or primer paint is chipping off from car washes... Trying to figure out if i can live with it until i get a new car or some DYI techniques..
