Newly arrived.... but, it is not a snow car. So it sits un-driven.

For the tires or as an anti theft system... lol
There's no need for chains, I just bought a set of Continental Viking Contact 8.
Great results and very quiet.

I've got a snow car, 2016 Acura ILX, that we put snow tires on every year in November. We don't drive enough to need two winter cars.
But, I guess unlike the rest of the US, this normally snowy part of Oregon has temps in the high 50s, low 60s. So, I've been out and around plenty. Resolved a disappointing rattle - it was the plastic covering behind the mirror; thank goodness as it would have driven me crazy.
Haven't loaded up the back yet. Waiting on some carpeting. Back seats are down, never ever to be raised again, upholstery foam ready to fill in the spots next to the seats; carpet to cover the entire back. Dog ready.
Great to drive. Had a little bit of back road adventure. This car handles so great. Got into some cornering fun with a Porsche; earned a thumbs up from the driver.
Did my own detailing over the weekend - including a ceramic coating. Looks fantastic!

I really love the red! It was my first color choice, but none of the dealers in this area had (or were getting) any red ones, and my ‘99 Gen5 Prelude that I loved so much was black, so I bought another black one…Newly arrived.... but, it is not a snow car. So it sits un-driven.
