Got news for you all:
Most people under age 30 can't afford a new TL.
On top of that, this IS a luxury family car

I agree. My wife got tired of driving a minivan, and wanted a sports car that could still haul or two boys (6 & 8) around in resonable comfort. After looking at all the ones on the market she decided on the TL-S. She made a good choice!

I totally agree. Other then you guys I have met one person around my age that drives a TL, Guy who works at Best Buy in Orlando. I thought I spotted a lowered TL-S today but then realized it was an old guy and his wife with a bunch of shit in the back seat.

My girlfriend goes there so I will eventually see you and all the other UCF TL's because I am there usually every weekend. Got a 99 firepepper red TL-P. If you know a dude named Lance with an Integra GSR tell him Mike said Wassup.
I am glad my sad day of thinking I finally could look over at a TL next to me and just maybe it is a person close to my age ends up being :killer: amuses you.
:blaze:

Hey i see MANY young adolescents driving TL's here i have a few friends that have TL's i usually see many "C-lai's" (aka chinese moms that wear white gloves) driving in TSX's and TL's ...so all in all they're both 4 doors I'm sure some sort of old foogie or young kid or chinese lady will want a affordable 4door fully loaded car.
Well one time i had a old foogie maybe aobut his 50's pull up to me in his TL-S A-spec and ask me what kind of mods i have. And i don't have many mods just apexi ws coilovers, body kit and TL-S rims (i have a 2001 TL-P). So i asked him what he has. Comptech headers, comptech exhaust, AEM intake and "springs". I'm thinking psh..you got all this nice stuff and you tell me you just have "springs" .... i'm pretty sure he lied to me. He's got enough money to go all out on that car.

Why Raygun why? I kinda like it that there aren't that many kids driving our cars. If there were there would be Altezza Lights, Shopping Cart Spoilers, and HORRIFIC Body kits made for this car. Old people this Buds for you.

Just keep in mind, when you're tol that you drive an old dudes car, that old dudes tend to drive pretty nice cars or crazy old crap boxes, and you sure arent driving a crap box

I love the car so why should I care? (I'm 24 btw) It is amusing to see older people drive but at least they have taste

Heh, I passed an Anthracite TL-P last night on the highway, and I matched speed with him for a few seconds right next to him. Some old guy, looked to be in his late 40's, looked over and then I took off, since I had no prospect whatsoever of racing this guy because for one, he's old and won't race, and two, he's got a TL-P, and three, he was going 70 in the right lane.
Ohh, but I saw this stock silver TL-S on campus last week; a guy about the same age as me was driving it. I waved at him, and he waved back. I wave at all TL drivers I see on the road, although 99% of the times, I don't get anything back. Oh, well.
Supposedly, there's a black TL-S with body kit and lowered on campus, driven by a hot ass chick. My buddies have been going crazy (I guess she's really hot?), and telling me that if I see her, I need to mess with her or whatever, then get her number. Whatever.

I live in new orleans and go to school up in hattiesburg MS... around school i see alot of older women driving cars like mine and then then look over and get bitchy and pissed when they see a hot 19 year old girl pull up next to them driving their same car and they look at me like "how the hell did you afford the same car" and in New orleans though I see alot of younger people driving TLs, I guess it just depends where you live...

"Oh, sweet. Maybe it's modded!", I thought. I pulled up next to the car, hoping it was modded, and hoping maybe for a good race against another Type-S.
Well, as I was coming up on the guy, low and behold, what do I see? An old guy with his wife, just going the speed limit. I was CRUSHED. Then to make it worse, the guy looks over (you know that old people thing with one eye half closed? Yeah.) and gives a dirty look, like "Why are you like 1/4 of my age but driving the same car as me?"
Damn... no wonder people never ever race me. They probably think I'm some old grandpa and wouldn't race.
