Thanks for all the help over the years when I had questions and hope I helped a few of you as well!

When I have time I'll be selling a few misc parts and the Factory Repair Manual in the For Sale Forum. I also have two brand new un-opened valve cover gasket repair kits that I picked up from the dealer a few weeks back.

I'll still be in Off Topic and Car Talk and will jump in and say hi once in a while. So it isn't goodbye, but it's see ya later

Thanks! Speakers are awesome (compared to the CL) Its an 8 speaker 250W BOSE with Sub in the back. It kicks just fine.

I am Just outside the 4 yr 60,000 mi warranty but going to see if they can give me a good deal on an extended warranty.

Nice. Us old timers who have been in it since the beginning are moving on. The CL was/is a great car but you can't fight age. At some point it's just not worth keeping.
The AWD is better suited for NYC weather I think.

Just remember my service manual was 1st posted for sale

Too bad you couldn't stay with Acura. At least you still have the 4x4 wheel gap.

I've never been in a modded CL so I'm not sure. But it blows my old CL-P away by a long shot. I'm not used to the 306HP just yet and today I merged onto an empty highway and decided to gun it for the first time and just "see"... holy shyt ballz I shot from about 40mph to 110mph in what seemed like 2-3 secs lol. I had no intention to even go that fast, it just climbed too fat for me to notice. I don't know the exact time it took but all I know is that I got scared and slowed down real fast. I have to get used to it a bit more. Good news is that it still felt solid and was still pulling hard at that speed.

Yup if you try to lean forward and mess with the navi controls, it's a hassle. Good thing I can control most of it from the steering wheel
