the worst thing about my CL is that I have to keep the windows rolled up because if I have them down too many ridiculously attractive women try and jump into the passenger seat. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any way fix it? Was there an Acura recall for this? It's really starting to get annoying.

1. Name one other manufacturer that would be willing to fix or replace the entire tranny for free if you haven't already racked up a shitload of miles on the original tranny? Can't name one? Then shut the fuck up.
2. You wish you had a six speed? I can understand if you feel jipped if you baught a 2002 CL-S and Acura came out with the six speed the following year but If you were shopping for a used CL-S and opted for an automatic over a six speed and got disappointed it's your own damn fault for not trying out both before you committed, so shut the fuck up.
3. You're whinning about wanting a damn hand break? Go trade your CL-S in on a Kia and shut the fuck up.
4. The worst thing about and automatic CL-S? CL-S owners that are too childish and/or stupid to understand that except for the little pocket rockets (Integra, RSX) Acura does not design their cars with the intention of being applicable to the ADHD Fast and Furious clowns and zit-faced teenagers. Here's a newsflash for you: Acura's targeted audience for the CL-S was OLDER, MORE MATURE PEOPLE, which means they weren't thinking about you if you're under 40.
5. So you hate the CL-S is FWD/isn't sporty enough for you? Go buy yourself a used NSX. This car is nearly two decades old and still no other mass producing manufacturer has put out anything that can even touch the NSX as a total package exotic. The Ford GT is your best bet but can you afford to pay $125,000 for a GT? No? Then shut the fuck up.
Stop whinning and appreciate the car you own or save up and trade it in for something newer and more expensive...or you can shut the fuck up. Have a nice day.

This one chick I was dating was so crazy about my car she would make VRRRRRRRRRROOOOOM sounds matching the sound of the exhaust everytime I would switch to SS mode and downshift.
I was cruising at CityPlace in downtown West Palm--I slowly rolled to a stop at a stop sign, Rob Zombie thumping from my enclosed 12" sub. A chick crossing the street was eyeballing my car up and down while bopping to the beat of the music and smiling.
And tell me this: Why the hell is it everybody wants to cut ME off? There could be 5 miles of empty highway between my car and the next car behind me and I could be 2 inches from my exit and some nut will speed up in front of me and cut me off. I mean what's the fucking point when all you have to do is just slide over behind me and take the exit?
And why is it alway some boyfriend in his little car with his girlfriend--always some dork in a Hyundai Tiberion or a Civic--that always has to tailgate me? The fuck is up with that?
This car is sex on wheels.

But for real. The CL is not by any means a tuner. Go get yourself a Honda, Nissan, or a Mitsubishi.
