Been slow in doing this, but I finally have a pic I can upload of my '04 pilot, set up at the Arlington Courthouse market (which we do every Saturday and Sunday) with the canopy and our setup behind (we sell sterling silver and gemstone jewelry).
Still loving it, after four months of ownership. the market's fun, they close the street for a block or so and the merchants just park head-in, unload and setup from about 8:30 until 3:30 or so. It's almost like camping, and the added benefit of lugging all that gear means we're setup for "surprise picnics" when we're out on long drives enjoying the Pilot.
Going to head over to the detailing forum and then order some TLC products, we've been good about keeping the outside clean, but we want to keep up with the leather care and all that for the interior.
Oh, if anyone needs any jewelry, hit me up. Discount to fellow pilot owners! ;) |

| Greetings from Northern Virginia! I'm now in Woodbridge, but I used to live in Arlington just down the road from the street market (on North Courthouse Road in the old garden style apartments just before Route 50)! I'll have to catch you next time I'm there on a Saturday morning!!! |

Hey, be sure to do that, it'd be good to meet another local Piloteer. It's a neat neighborhood, we're actually thinking of relocating from where we are in Alexandria to somewhere right around Courthouse (if we can afford it--rents are evidently about what you'd expect).
What dealership do you go to for repairs, if you don't mind me asking? We're going out to Leesburg, where we bought it, but it's a haul and we're looking for something closer. We were really unimpressed with Landmark Honda's sales staff during the purchase process, and assume their repair department would be as equally unimpressive.
BTW, if you're in the market for any jewelry, be sure to mention the forums and we'll hook you up with a "fellow pilot owner" discount. ;) |

lol, yeah, that canopy is 10' x 10', and we're not allowed to have the outside edge over the yellow double line--that's actually a street they close for a couple of blocks on Saturday for an outdoor art and antique market--so we get pretty close to the curb sometimes.
I actually prefer parking in front of the various lightpoles or trashcans on the curb. The couple of weekends we've parked without any "forward obstructions" other vendors (on the sidewalk) have actually leaned things against the front bumper :rolleyes: |
