First Timer, NooB Whatever you want to call it: I'm just glad to own a CL!

I bought my first CL last week! Not my first Acura, I had an '88 Legend in college (trans died at 214k). I've been reading this forum ever since my Avalon was considered a "total loss" by our wonderful friends at State Farm, thanks to a guy that ran a red light! So I picked up a '97 2.2 CL Premium with a 5-speed and charcoal leather int. Having some minor work done and I miss my car already. Can't wait to contribute and learn as much as I can here.



Check here for some more pics (including my busted avalon)

And here if you wanna see my new baby girl!

I can't believe that the Avalon was a total... Must be more damage than the pictures show...

Welcome.....

Check out the Noob Guide

BTW... Congrats with the child... They are A LOT of fun... Watch how fast time flys.

I thought they all had pinstriped. Mine does. I like it but it's sort of faded.

Mine does... Two different ugly green colors. But I used that tape stuff to cover it up with a graphite.. Looks much better.

As soon as your little girl gets old enough to walk, teach her to drive the CL.


Starting early never hurts.

15 min west of Philly. Exit 9 (west chester pike) off the Blue Route (I-476). Pretty much across the entire state from Pittsburgh.
