My CL pickup

So I already made a thread saying that I was buying MrSteve's car and I just picked it up this morning. I didn't realize he lived so close to D.C. so since I'd never been my dad and I went in and visited a few of the sights. Here are some pics for now, I'll have pics with the new rims on tomorrow or monday



Pajama pants for 10 hour drives ftw!


Dad wanted to pose with it haha


the only shot that my dad didn't tell me to get in. lol



me with some of the monuments.

sorry bout the poor quality, coming from my LG Dare I didn't think it was too bad though

Ya I'm glad I did it, better than being ripped off be a dealership or buying from somebody who can't take care of their car.

Ya it was a deal I couldn't miss! and too bad you're selling. What're you looking at now?

haha if there was a 6MT 2nd gen I would have bought that to have 4 doors, but I'm psyched about the CL

Dude go for the CL. Costs less and the parts/maintenance won't cost a fortune.

You'll be fine...it is when you get nervous that stuff happens.

Keep it cool, calm and collected my friend.

The only time I would get weirded out is when I was in traffic on hills.

All of San Francisco is pretty much built on hills...so this was a Manual Transmission Nightmare.

Don't try to jump off the line...easily apply gas vs. clutch to ease away from a stop.

Without proper practice with the clutch's friction point you will be stalling all the time.

Don't want to do any transmission or clutch damage too...

Glad I'm not the only one! haha this morning I went across town with like 3 stop signs and 8 lights and never stalled. I'll have to always pretend like I'm alone. lol

Ya one of my friends was just like dang just breathe jacob! Then I turned off the radio and stayed chill = I stopped stalling. lol

Ya I'm trying to drive pretty slow for now so that I can get the friction point right. One of my friends has a Celica GT and was trying to help me get my shifts smooth by working the clutch

congrats, I remember picking up my first CL back in 2000, felt great to drive such a nice car, class leader in it's segment. Get a drop, some wheels and possibly a blower and you'll love the car forever.

Ya its an amazing car for sure.

Its already dropped on comptech springs/koni yellows and I'm putting my rims on tomorrow. I would go lower but I don't want to deal with rubbing.

Nothing special at the moment. I've had a Rodeo as a beater/dog hauler since the summer.

I also have an '08 Frontier work pays for that's my daily driver. I rarely drove the CL-S at all last year. I think the car had 103k miles on it when I put it up for sale in the Spring/Summer and when I sold it it had 109k.

Really don't know what I want to get in to next. Maybe a 911. Maybe a C5ZO6. Maybe get a sedan... S4? RS6? I browse what's for sale nearly every day but I can never decide on something. Probably won't get in something fun until this fall.

I'm in no rush. Totally up in the air.
