Brought it home today, still waiting on title from the dealer so temp tags for now... :glare:

But its got all the features I wanted: cup holders, over 250hp, nice interior, heated leather seats, ac, heat, working steering rack, working 12v power outlets, radio... This also makes this the first car I've ever owned with cup holders.

In other news, its cool having a nicer car than your dad. :loki:



Crap teaser pic for now.

Make of Vehicle?
Acura

Model of Vehicle?
'05 TL

Modifications?
Stock for now.

Just little things... I'm planning on hacking the NAV, tint, upgrading resonator and removing one of the mufflers mid stream, remove the intake silencer / resonator if there is one, replace the shift knob since its a bit worn. Thats probably about it considering its my DD and I don't need a second project car. Maybe some nicer OE rims down the line.

Why yes, but don't I have two cars to deal with just that very problem?

I'd promise to get real pics soon, but I've got my room mate's wedding to go to this weekend. Might have trouble squeezing in a photo shoot for the car. I should just call Tina when I get back and have her take pictures of it. She lives real close and unlike me; knows what she's doing.

Dude TL's are sick I almost bought an 05 TL Type S with a 6 speed over my Impreza. Nice choice.

LOL @ the three-peat of required fields. Not sure if I can fix that considering editing before initial submission got me into that mess, mods... help? hahah.


Edit - yeah the 6spd is the way to go with either flavor... Still getting used to the lack of feeling in the clutch, but its worth it to be able to actually use all the HP the engine has to offer. The auto's in these may be far better than those found in the 01 accord pictured next to it, but still not that great next to the manual.
