We just took delivery today. Got the 5 spd. What a fun car :) This is gonna be the wifes ride. Happy Ground Hogs/Valentines Day :D

Planned upgrades include Fogs, Splash Guards, Air Deflector, Carpet Kit from South Coast Accessories, maybe a Roof Rack, and a Class 3 hitch for bike rack.

A few more....

Here the speedo after we drove it home.

Interior shot with the iPod shuffle installed :D

I don't think I have seen an E in that colour yet, looks great. Old silver variations have never really been my preference when with plastic panels, but I really like it with painted ones, like yours. And that silver in particular is so nice and bright! Hope your wife enjoys her new E!

Welcome aboard! :) You might also want to consider the storage armrest.

:D Wow, nice present ...you wife is a lucky woman.:D Enjoy the new ride.:D

i like the blue interior trim with the silver, that looks nice

Thanks guys. We almost went with Atomic Blue, that's a very nice new color. But then she said she may get tired of it over time. Also, I drive a dark Blue Jeep GC, and we didn't want two blue cars. The Silver just looks classy IMO.

I may get the storage compartment soemday. Looks like you can get really carried away with the upgrades :rolleyes:. I wish they would have made the Fogs standard on the EX. This seems like a must have for me.

Ya know about the Blue interior trim. I was getting nervous that I really was gonna hate those blue accent panels. I kept looking at pics on the forum here and thought - oh NO, I can't take 'em. But then we picked up the car and they are really a lot more subtle than they show in the digi pics. Seems like a digital camera + flash really highlight them when posting online. Once you get in the car, they blend in pretty well. Good, saves me money for upgrades :grin:

So it snowed here in CO last night and she just got back from a snow run of the kids to schools. She said it did real well in the snow. I love it :D

We traded in a 2WD 96 Ford Explorer to get into the E. We had such a hard time getting rid of the Ford here in CO with it being only 2WD. Forget about selling it to a private party in CO. The dealer first offered us next to nothing and I said no way, getting ready to walk. They finally came up to mid book value (+500 over wholesale book) and then we got interested. This combined with a nice discount price off MSRP closed the deal.

The Ford Explorer was a good car for 9.5 years @ 128K miles. I really enjoyed that car. We bought it new in CA six months before we moved to CO (not knowing we were moving here) and we were stuck with it. It finally dropped in value enough to where we could finally trade it in on the E and not take a total bath. After all it was a perfectly fine running car, just lacking 4WD. Long live the Honda E. :) :D :)

Wow, Rmassey, that's a beautiful color! Congrats to you and the Mrs. and welcome. :)
Are you going to get license plates for it? :|

Wow, Are you going to get license plates for it? :|

Yeah, I was thinking about that, maybe someday... :cool:

the ASM is so much brighter and lighter than the SSM... looks good :)

I'm hoping it's easy to keep clean. The Dark Blue on my Jeep is worst to keep it clean.

Hot Dang!! I thought I had the only Alabaster Silver with blue/grey interior on the planet. I'm gonna talk to that fibing salesman!! :lol:
Congrats on the purchase!! Nice color choice!

It should be. I love clean E's! :) Of course now every car/truck on the road looks gray... snow is great, just dont like that I cant wash my E every week :roll:
