very sweet ride N beautiful color.
One question I have is this.
I drove a similar platform as a loaner for a week but it was a auto (2010 TL SH AWD) and in my opinion it is a very tamed luxury car, i enjoyed the very smooth shifts and the suspension but For some reason I felt like it lacked power even though the power was there it felt like the car had to think for a few secs before it takes off during sudden acceleration (steppin on it) when I compared it to my CL-s 5 speed.
By the 5th day of driving the TL sH awd my buttdyno felt like my CL was a lil faster
would u agree with me ?
i also did not like or enjoy the transition of the Paddle Shifter during acceleration but everything else was perfect.

I've said goodbye to my Daily Driver
This was one of the absolutely most reliable vehicles I've ever owned. No engine issues, original clutch, just the usual wear and tear items which may have been dealt with outside of the 7,500 mile service intervals.
These were the last pictures I took of it Labor Day weekend '08
But I won't be leaving the Azine community. This is what I picked up last Tuesday night (sorry for the crappy pics ... haven't properly preped for my first coats of Zaino yet)
and yes ... it's a 6-speed.

If you're interested, I still have the stock 17's that I used to run during the winter. I ran something in the blackmarket this past winter, but got no takers. I'd be willing to bring the price down a little if you're interested. Here's the thread:

Also have the stock air sways, intake, struts/springs etc sitting around although I'll probably end up tossing them in a very short time.
Any quesitons about the car, don't hesitate to shoot an email my way.

When I saw the seller re-selling it on ebay with those painted rims, I almost puked. I don't know what the fascinastion is with black wheels anyway (must be a generational thing), but what he did to it looked like shit imo.

Very sad to have just discovered that the old girl was recently gutted. She deserved a better fate than that.
This is how I'll remember her.

Nice to see a set of Servos on a CL I was oh so close to getting a set of them back when RonJon had a sale (like $400 for a whole set, IIRC) but I had to keep some money in reserve for my timing belt service...
and that is one of the main reasons I'm trying to hold on to my car. It'd just be kinda heart-breaking to see someone beat up on the car I tried to keep in shape.
