Goodbye AcuraZine?

Here's my story. I shopped around for tons of cars from new to old. Domestics to imports to euro.

Purchased less than 2 weeks ago:

But even with crappy lighting, covered in snow and ice, and just plain out filthy, i could not bear to let it go. And so it resides as my fun car. I will never leave!

my roomates got the same ram so far it has yet to impress me, the other day in 4wheel low he had trouble getting into the driveway in the 5 inches of snow we got while my TL handle it now problem. Definatly a nice truck but so far nothing special....personally i would have taken a new Chevy silverado or a 05-06 F-150 maybe even a titan. BUt hopefully you enjoy your choice! Smart decision keeping the CL for fun!

I'm thinking about buying a CF hood and trunk... I needed better pics than the ones on ebay though. I'm "looking" for good ones. (more like procrastinating)

Do you have any more pics of your rear with the trunk and the hood?

My car is also NBP thus the reason i'm asking...

ive had no problems with the huge snow drifts and ice. thing just tears right through. maybe your buddy needs to check his tires.

as soon as i dig the car out, or some snow melts, whichever comes first, i plan to do a new photoshoot w/ the CL.

Its not the truck, its the tires and driver. Plus you shouldnt need 4WL to go thru 5 inches of snow

My boss has a chevy avalanche and last winter his wife hopped in his truck to go to the store. Not knowing it was in 4WL, she drove the whole way to the store and back. When she got home she told him his truck sounded funny

exactly, i go 4H ONYL when i'm actually stuck (which is very rare) and the truck just walks right out of the snow/ice, and i put it back into 2WD.

but to keep this CL related, anyone know what the shafts are towards the rear of the axles, i think they connect to the power steering rack. i think thats my culprit. my steering wheel sits way left while going straight, lol.

Oh thank God. I thought you about jumped ship like everyone else. Before that, I thought "Out of all CL'ers, Jeremy would be the last.." Nice truck choice though. My dad has one as well.

Clean, when I saw this thread I must admit, I got a little heated thinking you got rid of the CL. Whew! I would have been pretty upset with you after all the work and what not. nice truck though!
