That's what its like living in the largest mainland state and one of the largest cities in the US!

Are going to get rid of it or risk the unwarrantied tranny?

I am at almost 80K and I don't think I want it after the tranny is out of warranty. I am still on my first and I don't think it would go out on me, but just in case...

So you hit 100k and you haven't even called me to let me know. Remember I am you advisor.

start saving the $3k for a trans after 100k,,, still cheaper than a new car. Hopefully the TL 04 trans will fit and will have the major improvements.

I guess that's great but having gone through 2 trannies already, sure doesn't seem like it's something to brag about.

Just makes me wish I'd never bought mine. Certainly going to dump it (for a hell of a loss I'm sure) before the warranty is up.

Um Mr. Advisor
I need to schedule an appointment, so which of the fine individuals would you be at John Eagle?? I actually need to come on in probably to get the ECU Swap (I don't know if I want to really do this just yet), and an oil change but I have at least 300 more miles to go before I need to get the oil changed.

When I get the oil changed and ECU swap, do you think you might be able to hook me up with a TL loaner? (2004 that is).

No brag, just fact. If this tranny goes and Acura tells me to go fly a kite because I have 100,000 miles plus. It will be my "LAST ACURA".

As far the ecu swap and oil change, no problem. But the 04TL, that might be hard to do. I can definitely set a test drive with my man Averett Barksdale. He's the salesman I always deal with. If you are interested.

Now let's not jump the gun. Who's to say that there will be another. Besides, remember who you have in your corner.

Silver, 265-horsepower coupe. Heated black leather seats. Rare black marble trim instead of woodgrain. 6-disc in-dash cd player. Front and side airbags. Great condition with 113,000 miles.

Wonder what gave him the extra 5 hp. How rare is the bowling ball trim?

That's what I mean about getting bargains. Some of these jokers have no clue as to what they own

Roman,

I need to bring my ride in because my SRS light stays on. When can you get me in and get me that orange CL-S loaner?

Thanks!

True, True. You and John Eagle Acura, because of you, have always treated me very fairly. I am hopeful that this relationship will continue for many years to come. I will call later to set a Friday AM apponitment.

Texas is a big state. Most of the major cities are 2 to 6 hours apart. I have about a 50 mile round trip commute daily. The City of Houston covers over 200sq.mi. I am an Engineer at NASA here in Houston. On weekends I go to visit my parents and wife who live a little over two hours south of here. When i first was transfered here my commute was 100mi. each way. For the first 9 months I worked here I averaged 1500 miles per week. It adds up quick.

That car, as ugly as it is, was the most popular loaner car we had. But it sure did turn a lot of heads, quite a few stomachs too I think.

Tell Kim that she needs to drive more. But I have to say thank you. I don't mind her coming in, she's a lot easier on the eyes than you (haha).
