yeah screw all your threats with no pics....none of myvehicles in the last 10 years have been exteriorally (sp?)modded so they look like stock pictures....haha take it else where! anyway, i bought an 05 pilot lx silver...NO OPTIONS BROTHER!got it for 14,000 w/ 71,000 miles on it....thats 1,500 underedmunds TMV & kelly Blue...anyway....the family hauler I replaced was a '97 Plymouth Voyager...and I needed the seats becuase I have 4 kids...funny thing is...the Pilot has 8 damn seats in it!!! i never knew thatuntil i crawled around the thing....I wasnt even checking for SUV's becuase i dont ever check for SUV's....my wife was the catalyst here..Granted, the 3rd row is for under 12 year olds strictly....but my oldest is only 8, so its cool. I was floored to think that you could fit morekids legally in this thing than my minivan! just had to share....

why would we want to see pics of an old 05 Honda on a Pontiac Vibe/ Toyota Matrix site.

^^^^LOL^^^^ No Options? So no A/C, no power windows? What did it come with then?71,000 miles and $14,000 for a 4 year old car sounds steep, even if it is a Honda.Pilots are nice but overpriced I think. The Trailblazer or Denali (drool) are nice too.

Not to hijack your thread, but go visit hondapilot.org. I've been a member there for just over 4 years ( own a '04 Pilot with leather and factory DVD )I go by username 'Jestmaty' . You are gonna love your Pilot. I also have a '04 Vibe and really, really like that car too. I take it from my wife when I need to feel somewhat 'sporty' when running errands.Plus.... I put a 100watt amplified Bazooka bass tube in it almost 5 years ago and the stereo is much, much better in the Vibe than in the Pilot.

Oh yea.... almost forgot.....Put your foot down in the Pilot and listen closely at what happens at just about 4000rpms !The VTEC kicks in and the motor gets a mean growl for the next 2000 rpms!Vibe= 1.8ltr 4 banger= 130 hp=slow as molassesPilot= 3.5ltr V6= 245 hp= about 7.9 seconds to 60 ! Remember, it is a HEAVY suv ( 4500 lbs ) so stopping is really an adrenaline rush even with big discs at all 4 corners.

Hey man, random thought as well but I was in Myerstown early on Oct 12th, Sunday morning in the Wal-Mart parking lot waiting to meet with my parents just down the road at the Cedar Grill. Anyway, I saw a guy walk past my wife and I who looked just like that pic in your avatar. You? Maybe, I dunno. Small world.

Congrats on the Pilot! I hope you enjoy it. Quote, originally posted by isaaclud »who is driving around in cars w/out power windows and AC anymore? at least those cars manufactured after 1995...ME! Okay, I have A/C in the Vibe but no power windows or door locks. I had a lot of trouble with the power windows in my last vehicle, so manual windows were a plus for me when I bought my Vibe.

So you bought a Pilot, huh? Does that mean the vehicle is driving you? haHA!
