Who loves their car?
I truly do love my car. (Not in a sick and twisted way!)
I mean, look at us. We spend more time finding things to improve on our cars. It's pretty much a large part of my life other than grad school and work. I'm on the forum practically everyday. responding to various threads. I pretty much wash my car almost every week. I've ordered and installed so much stuff on my car, it's ridiculous. And I'm still not finished. I search various sites to find the latest things on our cars despite it being discontinued. My mom thinks its ridiculous to be so into my car. If you think about it, I think everyone of us that I know, which we seem to be in our 20's, are pretty privileged people. Almost 4 years ago I would have never have thought I would own this car. It was a dream car since Nov. '00 when I recieved the brochure in the mail.
I got my '01 in Sept '03 off a lease.
So, who loves their car?

CLS 6MT Navi
I love my 6 speed, I wouldn't have bought a CLS otherwise. it's a great car but I've had many great Acuras including 2 Legend Coupes that were more distinctive. It's not sporty enough looking, but it's the best thing out there for what you get.

can not stop looking the car in the garage. Keep washing the car at least once a week. My next door guy (who is a car salesman) even say I wash my car more than he take a bath ....duhhhh.....
love the CLS in many ways, except the ACura dealer here in town sucks...and not mod friendly..

If you can't have the one you love, love the one your with! This is a great car and I love it ... would I rather have an exotic or a really high end sports car? ... well duh, of course. Do I wish it was a convertable? YES. All things considered, this is a great car and I love it.

Haha! I love mine. It is my second CL. Totaled the first one going to work one day. I had thoughts of getting a different car. The CL has alot of character. After all I couldn't admit to defeat. So I stepped it up and am riding in the Type-S now. Transmission problems...what transmission problems?

you're pretty much paying for the name unless you get the m3 or higher.

I drove my CL for the first time in a month yesterday. It was in the body shop. Some asshole forgot where his brakes were and rear-ended me. I cut a deal with the body shop and had the entire thing painted. Looks amazing, and that's not a word I use a lot. Could have hugged the guy that painted it.
Definately much love for the CL.

I love almost all cars. I do love my CL-S but like Excelerate said once it gets closer to 100k it is getting traded.
It is my first automatic transmission car and will probably be my last.

I'm at a huge crossroads right now, met a guy last night w/ a 2000 vette convertible w/ borla exhausts, who said he'd sell it to me out the door for $27,000. It's the meanest sounding car I've ever heard, custom rims on it, and it's at about 375 HP right now. I never thought I'd say it, but I'm thinking about selling the Ac... =(

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
I loved my CL 
I was depressed after it got wrecked and knew I'd probably not be able to have another car as nice for a few years.
The TSX and I are getting to know each other better though. I'd say we're good friends. I'm not sure I'm ready for another relationship so soon after the CL.
