Funny someone remembers me! I think it was about 1 year ago when I posted last!

Just about to roll 90,000 miles... 89,910 right now.

I still love my car.

There just isn't anything else out there that makes me wanna sell it. I've looked at the new RL pretty heavily, but I just don't think I'm ready for a 4 door.

Plus, no car payment rocks.

I think if I start getting tired of it I'll just buy some different rims. That should refresh the looks for a couple of years at least!

Bought mine in june-2000. I have 79,000 on it. Still looks great but not brand new. Never been garage kept. So i do my damdest to keep it nice, but between birds, tree sap, chicago winters, road construction, F-ing kids egging cars, it's one hell of a battle! Plus it's black.

Hea bud, met you at one of our mini-meets on Bartons Springs Road in Austin. Can't remember if I drove my white CLS (03 6MT) or my current anthracite then. I remember seeing your DVD hookup, hadn't seen DVD on the Navi screen before.
Seems like you had some new black rims then too.
Glad you're still CLing.
I've looked over the RL too cause I want something new from Acura, but 4 doors and the price is keeping me out of the store. otherwise it's close to what I would go for.

thinking back, I know your name wasn't Dan, it's John?. I think Grayson was there too, and anyone else? maybe just us 3. I must have been in the white CLS cause that seems a while ago. I'll keep my eye out for ya. not many of us in Austin I guess.

Yip, you got it right! Glad to see you're still around too!

I think I'll keep the CL until hybrid technology matures enough to where there's a car with killer performance that gets killer gas mileage. My dad picked up a Lexus 400h yesterday and it really moves off the line with those electric motors providing the initial torque.

That was an early rumor about the new RL, possible hybrid with electric motors, hp boost to around 300.
I know the Accord hybrid has better acceleration than the gas only version (both V6).
