Bye Bye 2nd Gen!

And so the time has arrived. I traded in my TL-S for an 06 TL 6spd.

It was a pleasure guys! See you on the 3G side.

Hehe, I was too happy enjoying the car, that I didn't take a pix of it yet. Don't worry. I'll get it up tonight. Just say I have a VERY big grin on my face. Such a smooth ass ride. 06 with 10k miles.

I was trying to keep the S2K projectors, but couldn't find a replacement headlight. And I didn't want the 06 TL to be sold, so I said fuck it.

I didn't think of it. Ohh well. I have to say tho, the sound system in the 3g, isn't as good as the 2nd. And 3g doesn't have a compartment for sunglasses!

Have fun with the 3g. I drove the loaner one from my Acura and I must admit its a pretty good ride. But I like the 2nd gen body style. Its has the classic sedan body lines. Plus the mods are a lot cheaper on the 2nd gen. <--- can you hear the jealousy! haha. Have fun bro!

haha, i wish. I still owed 5g's on my 2nd Gen. They pretty much paid off the car. I know I could have gotten more for it, but I didn't want to go through the hassel of trying to sell the car myself. Also, I didn't want the car to be sold by the time I did sell my 2G, so I said fuck it! Take this off my hands and pay off my loan.
