Just started my new job, trying my hand at compensation so I've been crazy busy. Been driving the Z to work, it's a great feeling to finish work knowing such an awesome car awaits for the drive home!

Congrats :tup: Today was my wife's last day at a public accounting firm. She is going into the private sector to work for a small international firm that runs a variety of companies doing things like bicycles tours in London and Paris and Segway tours in a few US cities as well as some mobile trailer vending like snow cones and frozen yogurt.

I hope that you are posting this from your new job, using your new job equipment and on your new job clock.
Hear me when I say that it is extremely important to get management's expectations set very early.
Anyway, congratulations.

The appraisal was crap, which I was afraid of since it was in an accident :( My wife hit a tow truck with it and managed to mess up the tow truck worse than her car (she hit it's fender/tire) and both had to be towed from the scene. I was pretty impressed, frankly.

Say, a public bathroom or parking lot or maybe while a homeless guy watches? :inoutroflpuke: :shakes head:

Yup :shakes head:
Base ILX comes with paddle shifters which my wife tried out, and she thinks she'll really like them. Its a 2.0L with 150hp and gets 28/35 mpg. The nice thing is a base Acura comes with a lot of the features you have to upgrade to in a Honda. The interior is technically cloth, but there is actually a lot of leather even on the seats and doors. Bluetooth and USB connections are standard as well. So all in all, I think we weren't necessarily in the right place to do what we did, but the dealership worked with us and got our monthly payments where we wanted them for a 3 year lease with 15K mi/yr allowance. I think she is just glad that we don't have to worry about shelling out $$$ to fix the Honda down the road.
