07 Type S 6mt daily driver 69K miles bought used from original owner. TL's IMO arent really weekend summer toys, but they sure make cool daily drivers :-) the car in my sig would be a nice weather toy.

I usually drive my truck to work but sometimes I get tired of watching the gas gauge move towards empty so fast so I'll drive the TL. Its an 06 6MT with navi and just rolled 50K miles. My Z28 is the summer toy

My '07 TL-S was my DD for the past few years, but I finally got sick of it taking a beating during the MN winters!

Right now she's parked in the warm garage with 24K on it.

I picked up a 1990 Acura Legend with 174K on it for the winter!!

Daily driver since Dec 10, 2003. Started with 7 miles on the odometer and now has 121,000+. Planning on 4 more years and estimating 180,000K miles before replacement (with 2 year old 2014 TL).

Daily driver and I'm a realtor which is why I have 76k on a 2008. Although we have been driving the MDX more since we got it July 2010.

What year Z28? Is it modded?

I daily my 06 NBP navi 6MT. Bought it at ~77k a couple years ago, and now it's over 104k. It's at the dealer right now getting a new clutch, flywheel, timing belt, and water pump, while I'm trying out a 2011 SH-AWD 5AT loaner =), and I must say, I miss my car! AT just doesn't do it for me. Maybe the gear ratios of the 2012 would, but not the ones of the 5AT. I noticed that the gear ratios of the 6AT are even shorter than the ones of the 6MT. If I were to get an AT, that's the AT I'd want. http://www.acura.com/drivetrain.aspx?model=tl

Mine is mainly driven on the weekends and maybe once or twice through out the week. My daily is a 2G CL Type-S with 193K on the clock, and it's still fun to drive.
