Post It was bound to happen . . . saw a TL with Flames!!??

I was out in Woodbury Outlets on Saturday and i was driving around the damn place to find parking and I saw this black TL (99-01) with flames painted or stickered on like you see on hot rods or like on PT Cruisers. I almost pooped in my pants and then I just couldn't drive, I blanked out and my girlfriend was like DId u see that Acura with the flames on it and i was like yeah. . . so I guess i wasn't seeing things. If you're on this board and you have flames on your TL, please come out and show yourself!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh man, I saw a Firepepper Read TL, in Nothern VA with a HUGE gold sticker almost covering the whole hood of a phoenix like bird and a banner going across the windshield. It wasn't rice but it was more like...latino'ish?

But I share your agony CrackPuppy.

I was at Woodbury last month, on my way out I saw a VW Fox with the VW badge removed and in it place was BMW badge and to make things worse he also had the M badge. But the flaming TL takes the cake
Where's a camera when you really need it.

My buddy just inherited a POS 1983 or so yellow Dodge K-car station wagon.

I'm trying to convince him to rice it out as a joke - Type-R stickers, M-badge, etc. Of course, if I ever win the lottery I'll have to paint some sick scene on my Dad's Jag as a joke, a'la Tom Greene!
