And the winner is...

The Acura! We're sure all of you were sitting on the edges of your seats waiting to hear about our car decision. We went for the 2005 dark gray Acura TSX (4 cylinder, so somewhat better gas mileage than the TL). We bought it from a salesman who, by his email address, referred to himself as "Big D." But, lucky for us, he was pathetically inexperienced and his first offer (without even asking if we had a trade) was $4500 below sticker. We negotiated a great deal, and I got to play "bad cop"! I was so good at it (hard to believe, I know) that Big D kept trying to get Sweetie to shake on a deal while I was on the other side of the dealership on the phone. Much, much fun.
