Everyone all talked out from the autox? I've been working a ton and not having time for much of anything but eating and a few hours sleep. 8-5, get home at 6. Eat dinner with family, work at home until I put the kids to bed, then work some more until about midnight or 1am. Will be that way to at least the end of the month.

Only 1 color? That's pretty lame. Did any anniversary model ever come with engine upgrades? Not that I've heard of.

Maybe new wheels? Hope it isn't like the 35th anniversary one that came with anniversary wheels that end up being the same as 06+ wheels.

35th Anniversary wheels were slightly different, I thought they had dimples in them (other than that the same). Also the anniversary came with 300hp instead of 287. So if history is any indicator. This anniversary will be the next model's engine and slightly modified rims.

IIRC, 35th anniversary wheels are pretty much the 06+ wheels. The 35th anniversary came in 3 colors and it was pretty much the same as a 05 track model but they get the "35th Anniversary" badges. 05 Track MT and the 35th Anniversary MT were the only 2 trim level that came with the Rev-up engine, thus the 300HP.

How do those with daily drivers not drive the Z? If I had a 7 year old Accord and my Z, why would I drive the Accord? It's not near as fun as the Z. I guess if it was a show car or a track car only, I could see how. But I just couldn't let something like that just sit around and barely drive it.
