MUST DO (simple affordable mods w/noticeable change ): Tint, Drop, CAI, Headers.

OPTIONAL (Highly Recommended! ): Rims, OEM Lip Kit, Exhaust, DIY Black Housing/Clear Headlights, Underdrive Pulleys, Spacers etc.

DREAM: Supercharger, 6-Speed Conversion, or even 3.5 Swap .

I originally joined Acurazine intending to just find help just in case I needed car problems.

I always see this trashy looking fat chick driving like 90+ on the highway in a stock TL.
Most TL drivers though around here are either younger and mod their cars (not many I've seen on here though) or they are old farts and for some reason lots of middle aged women.

I live in the North Bay, Cali. Most in my city are older folks. But i notice anytime I am cruising through San Jose or the south bay I see a lot of younger folks my age rollin in some pretty clean TL's. I know there's quite a few of you guys on here. Shout out to all of my Bay Area TL'ers.

Trust me...CAI+Headers.....Feel the POWER! The car really breathes better.

I have the Comptech Icebox and XS Headers...the car sounds stock...but it's way more responsive now. I barely go over 2500 under normal driving now. Although I do get a heavy foot whenever there's a big empty road in front of me now.

In MA it depends on where your at. In the city i see quite a few modded TL/CL's driven by 20-30 yr olds. Where as in the burbs its more farts drivin stock ..... slow as hell too!!!

I drive like 60 miles a day, 40 of em im doin 70- 100mph. Reckless? No. Aggressive....HELL YEA!!! I use my SS to cut thru holes in traffic on the regula (w/ signal of course) . Thats how our cars are built to be driven. If not they wouldnt be so hungry for 100. I know its not just my car that feels like 80 when its pushin 110 . TL-S comin thru!!!!

But in my defense your liable to see 3-4 cars weevin thru traffic at any given time up here. Its not surprising if 2 of em are lil old ladies rushin to bingo in corollas.
Thast Massachusetts highways foya. Just DONT drive 60mph in the fast lane.

Last thursday I was heading north on the I-5 and saw two dudes in a SSM 02 or 03 TL sitting on chrome 20's with a custom license plate and frame that said something like "Star Light, Star Bright, When Will I Find Mr. Right?" lol...

They were going slow cuz my mom was driving her Odyssey slowly... and I kept seeing the TL in the carpool lane around Camp Pendleton all the way to Irvine.

I wonder if they're on acurazine?

Thats for sure. Where eva i go people can tell "he's not from here" by the way i drive. And im like "DAMN! Out of staters cant drive fa shit!" like they scared of the gas pedel and in-love wit the brake. If your not from Mass follow these rules, if you are from here you should already know em.

Mass. Highway Eticate:

1. 55 and less = far right lane
2. 75+ to even enter fast lane
3. Dont merge into any lane then brake (except emergency lane)
4. TAP brake before crossing line if you gotta let off the gas
5. Dont drive slow while passing off ramp (faster moving traffic may
force you onto it)
6. Dont drive the same speed as the person next to you (thats
blockin traffic)
7. No more than 1.25 car lengths between cars in heavy slow moving
traffic (ie: rush hour)
8. 25mph minimum through tolls despite posted speeds
9. Slow down or speed up but Respect the Blinker
10. On the highway there is no race, age,color or creed ...... just
cars and drivers
