new to the site, my 99 CL

Figured id check the site out and possible get some creative ideas on what next. Recently I have started to get the effects of the notorious trans issue. Has anyone been able to find any successful short term repairs to prevent from MAJOR damages.

That's Jaredbhouston's car. Did he sell it to you or are you just posing as if it's your car?

Chris, considering this: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...1#post11724421 I'd say this is the guy Jaredbhouston traded with...

eh, i regret getting rid of almost all of my cars.

i always wish i kept my SC400. i always wish i kept my civic/integra. i regret selling my 300ZX because it couldve had a really dope stance and really unique. i don't regret my E30 though. But i know the CL is another car thats hard to let go. it was just time.

I realized I'm in the same boat this week... I'd been driving my celica (beater) and jumped back into the Acura, and man is it a difference. I love this damn car, even with the big ass hole it's created in my wallet... And I haven't even done any real big mods. Yet

I still think it's funny you list them all out in your signature like you still have them all or some kind of tribute

some people put their car history
some people put their current fleet
some people put their associations
some people put their schools/interests
some people put their mods
some people put their sponsors/websites
some people put pictures
some people put quotes



the signature game is fair game for anything.
