Well, here's my TL...
This is my 1998 3.2 TL that I love so much, but got into an accident with, sadly. It's not that bad, though, but I've been driving it around without a bumper. I'm thinking of making shark teeth for it just to make it look like I meant to pop the bumper off if I can't get it fixed soon, lol. (My dad has the bumper... not sure why he hasn't given it back to me yet, but I don't know what to do with it anyway.) The car was in decent original condition before the accident, but if I hang onto it, hopefully I can get it back to looking pretty.
This car has been the subject of many of my photo shoots. I used to experiment with night photography and never really planned my shots, so I'd go out there in total darkness or by moonlight, not being able to see much of anything. Shooting the car was really convenient because I always knew where it was and it was a nice subject, too. I can't find any of those pictures on my new computer, but if I find them on my old computer, I will add them to this thread.
Here is a daytime picture from a couple years ago (I edited it a bit in Photoshop):
This was on the day of the accident:
And this was after the accident with the bumper removed:
I'm still really bummed about that accident, but I'm convinced the car is still beautiful. She's due for a timing belt and water pump at least, but I think I'm going to stick with her and have the work done. My folks think I should buy a new car, but I really enjoy driving this one.

Thanks for the invite! This site looks like it needs some traffic... at least in the '96-'98 area. Dang, that car in your cover photo looks cool, but how do you drive it when it's that low to the ground?
