Hello from Milwaukee - Honda Pilot

mugen660 · 06-16-2002, 02:46 AM

I Picked up my Pilot from David Hobbs Honda In Glendale. Everything went smoothly. I love my my truck. I traded in my '99 Passport on it ,what a world of difference. In November I went in to trade it (Passport) for a CR-V, and the salesmen there told me that there was possably a new "Honda- built" truck coming out in the summer. So I waited on getting the CR-V and in the beginning of January I put money down on the Pilot. First on the list

. Those 6 months took forever, it was worse after the auto shows cause then I knew what it looked like and I still couldn't have it for 3 more monthes. Well the wait was well worth it. This is the best honda I have owned yet!

So is yours the white pilot?
I used to deal with Hobbs (for 7 years) then I switched to Boyland because the old manager of Hobbs (John Smith) is there.
Glad to hear you got your pilot and you aer happy!
Later,
Pat

Actually its a Black LX. I have about 800 miles on it now and I couldn't be happier with it!

Congrats mugen660 and HELLO from Appleton!

Our Pilot should arrive in a few weeks but for now we're anxiously waiting.

Looking forward to the roomy interior (a Civic and an Integra in our stable now) and that AWD in the lovely Wisconsin snow.

Congratulations, mugen660!

It's good to hear I wasn't the only one *nuts* enough to put down a deposit in January!!

mugen660 · 06-28-2002, 10:46 PM

Thank you Cheesehead for bringing that up, .......SNOW! I cant wait. There is nothing better than All-Wheel drive in the snow. I used to have a Audi Turbo Quattro, and I would take the days off work when it would snow, and if it would snow at night I would go out driving untill the plows came out. There is just somthing about sliding around a corner with all four wheels spinning and having complete control (well almost complete control

). Im sure there is a few people out here that can relate!?

Feels weird to be talking about snow at the end of June, but I also am looking forward to zooming around in the fluffy white stuff!

Purchased my Redrock EX-L from Honda City (we're in Brookfield). We just had new neibors move in down the street and they have a Black EX-L with the chrome bumper garnish. Anyone from these posts?

Best SUV out there IMHO. Except for MAYBE the MDX, but I decided that utility was more important than luxury (and $7,000 for "stuff")!!!!!

Happy Piloting!

Cheesehead · 06-29-2002, 09:12 AM

Sorry but I can't say with any enthusiam that I look forward to the snow. If it were up to me the Southwest would be my home but the wife likes the change of seasons. I keep explaining that there are mountains if you want to see some snow but that just doesn't seem to convince her.

Here in Appleton the snow plowing is pretty good but the surrounding communities wait until the snow STOPS to begin plowing

so the Pilot will come in very handy.

I don't know if I'll be pulling any power slides around corners in the Pilot but more power to you

Hey, I'm from Madison... I just test drove a black EX today and loved it! Unfortunatley I won't be in any position to take home a new Pilot for about a year so I'll just have to hang back and live through you guys.

bengelking · 07-11-2002, 08:26 PM

Save up buddy. It's worth the wait!

Go Badgers!

Cheesehead · 07-13-2002, 12:04 AM

We finally got our Pilot two days ago in Appleton. I haven't seen any others on the road around here yet. It is trouble free thus far. No window scrunching, left side clicks, leaking washer nozzles. The only thing I have noticed is a lot of brake dust buildup on the wheels. I think the dealer sprayed the dealer with armor-all when they sprayed the tires. INSTANT BRAKE DUST MAGNET

We're racking up the miles (52 as of today

) and have been driving around just to drive. We LOVE it! Yes, we have Pilotitis.

Cheesehead · 07-13-2002, 12:06 AM

Having Pilotitis I can a mental lapse. I meant the dealer sprayed the wheels, not itself. OOPS

Cheesehead · 07-13-2002, 12:08 AM

I better just quit while I'm ahead. I can't type, I can't think, and I can't spell. Not good.

The Pilotitis is getting to me.
