Howdy, Len. Seen you on the board often and dadgummit, you beat me to become the first poster on this thread. Anyway, good to have a chance to say hey. I wonder if there might be enough interest a few months down the road for a get together of fellow Pilot owners. I still haven't seen another Pilot in the wild so it seems kind of cool to see a bunch of Pilots together.

Len,
Feel free to look me up next time you're in town. I work downtown, just blocks from Minute Maid Park (yuck, I don't like that name).
I still haven't seen another Pilot in the wild and only one neighbor couple has even asked about my Pilot. Kind of a bummer. I wouldn't mind getting a little attention although not necessarily from the Police.

Out here in West Texas, I have only seen one in my city but I know there are 2 because the same guy owns both of them. He bought himself one in Silver, liked it so much he bought his wife the Havasu. Real nice guy though....he was nice enough to let me look, ride and drive his Pilot, therefore I made my decision after all the homework to do a deal. Our dealer had a demo coming last week but it was stuck in Canada so no telling when it was gonna be here!! Other than those 2 Pilots though, I know of no others around here.
Anyone seen else em in West Texas???

We, too, have been wondering why there are no Pilots on the road in our neck of the woods. We have concluded that it must be the result of a limited production line which, so far, only adds to the aura of exclusivity.
An Acura dealer, used that argument to emphasize the excellent residual value enjoyed by MDX (yes, we're still debating, although it seems that the black interior of our favorite Silver MDX provides a final turn-off...). Quite possibly that may be the case with Pilots as well. Although, one never knows, judging by the number of Odyssey vans on the roads around Austin and vicinity...
So, as it stands now, we are expecting our Silver Pirate EX some time in Oct/Nov ~ just like TexPilot. Upon careful consideration and comparisons with other automakers' products (incl. our own 4Runner Ltd), we've decided that this particular leather would be a liability rather that an asset ~ so it's cloth.
Another thing we'd rather not have on our Pilot are Integrity tires, so we're planning on replacing them immediately with Michelin CTs.
I've already touched base with Len and TexasAg through PMs ~ thank you both for your input/advice.
Happy Trails ~
