Alright guys, it's been a short stay but I'm looking for a car where I'm not going to have to worry about the transmission failing making a trip anywhere. I guess I should've read into it more, but what can you do? Anyway, I'll still be around the forums lurking so no worries, but here's my final shoot with everything on it. Wheels being sold today, exhaust sometime in the upcoming week. Enjoy

 

Good luck with what you decide to do.

 

is the TL in the last pic the replacement car?

 

the wheels will remain in good hands.

 

Good luck with your next car!

So I'm curious, did you have the tranny replaced and now you're worried it's going to go again or something, that's why you're getting rid of it?

 

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone, I'll post the new car I'm hopefully getting in a second.

The TL is actually my Dad's car, he won't let me do anything to it though

I bought the car with 61,000 miles, one tranny replaced at 55,000. I don't drive hard and needed a new one put in at 67,000 miles, only 12,000 miles later. I'm just paranoid because I make trips of over 2 hours very often and I can't afford to get stuck and spend half a day getting towed to the dealer, then another week or more for a new transmission. I'm just going with something that will be reliable.

 

Potential next car: 2000 Ford Mustang GT, 5spd manual, black leather interior, 39,000 miles, and SLP exhaust which sounds amazing. Here are a few pics of it

 

ill hop on that exhaust when you part out so let me know, and good luck with your next car

 

not a fan of stangs..

 

SLP Exhaust on a Mustang? I thought SLP was for GM products?

 

^ I've always heard of SLP exhausts on Chevy's. I always associate Flowmasters on Stangs. Just did a search though and sure enough SLP makes exhausts for Mustangs now. Interesting.

 

yuck. a rustang.

 

me neither...get the 6th gear

 

and ross knows. that's what i daily drive (non GT, 5 speed) and it is FTL when it comes to leg room. i'm 6' 2" and with shifting my legs hit the dash with the seat all the way back. just go test it out and if it's what you want get it. i'm positive the GT is more fun than my POS 6.

before anyone asks...i drive mine because some bitch totaled my truck and my mom just happened to be trading the stang in for $2,000 on a 04 ACURA TL.

 

another Cl owner going V8?

That's a clean GT and the rag-top will make it that much more fun. Mods are plentiful and cheap for the Mustangs. If you get it, make it scream!

...and watch out for the goats out there

SLP exhaust SCREAMS on Mustangs, I'll post a sound clip when I pick it up. And to all those who dislike them, that's fine it's your opinion, but in owning a Mustang in the past, it had quite a noticeable amount less maintenance and I had NO problems in a year and a half of owning one, compared to my CL which had a 7,000 mile old transmission blow on light driving. Anyway, it's ok, can't expect everyone to like it.

As far as the V6, I had one, and speed wise, awful but comfort wise I had no problems, I'm also only 5'8. I test drove the car two days ago and it was absolutely awesome. I just need to get a trailer and pick it up!

As a CL owner, I've also been into muscle my whole life. I tend to go in cycles as you can see in my sig, Acura-Mustang-Luxury-Acura-Mustang-etc so, it's back to the only car I really enjoyed. And not planning on running into any goats until I get an Vortech S-trim in there (not going to happen) haha.

I'll still lurk around so you can't get rid of me yet guys!

 

Good luck bro. Post up pics Brad. Those wheels you can tuck easily

 

Now I wont be saving those tips for you

Good luck with your next, reliable car

 

Thanks for holding them anyway, we can still meet up sometime with a few guys

Mind if I pass along your name for whoever buys my exhaust in case they want to swap the original tips? Let me know! Thanks bro

 

Here's another one, well! good luck on whatever you decide next. Mustang??? i got friends that wnat to get rid off those but hey whatever makes your boat flows good luck again......

 

see? good hands.

 

^ Those wheels look great on your ABP!!!
