You screwed up, accept it. Are you such a tight ass that you can't take a little criticism when you make a mistake?

No arguing with ignorance. If going in a straight line is all that makes them happy than god bless.
And lets ease up on the thread starter people. .

6MT or Death
Nice thread. I wasn't all that excited because I've seen the tire monitor on the TL before so the 06/07 difference is more than negligable to me. Considering the only difference is pressing one button brings up an additional screen I look forward to the 06 holding it's resale value until the turbo comes.
I think it's hard for a guy who owns an out of production car to wrap his mind around how rabid we are to see a new model. Thanks for the compliments on the car. Sad to see you walk into the TSX forum and step on your nuts though.

Heck, a bad driver, bad launch, or mis-shift could cost you 1/2 a second. So, yeah -- it's a huge difference. Sarcasm aside, I wonder what was the main factor for the lack of sales for the CL?My theory is that they may have had too much overlap with the Integra. Back then, if you wanted a luxury performance coupe, it was too tempting to buy an Integra for $10k less. While you certainly had a boy-racer-looking car, it was much more fun to drive, had better gas mileage, and came with some of the goodies of the time (power windows, mirrors, moonroof, etc). Acceration-wise, the GS-R had plenty of punch during its time.
......now its gettin kinda dumb
