Cool How many TLs do you see a day!?

I see anywhere from 5 to 10 every day! I think there are 2 silvers, 2 whites, 1 black, and 1 green TLs in the community where I live. We have more and more TL drivers now!

I'm in the west orange, nj area and there are two dealerships within 7 miles of me, but normally i see about 5 TLs a day. I always think it's one of you guys, but then when I look at them, it's some grandpa or grandma driving it. Oh well.

I know what you mean. Most of the TLs that I see are mad stock. I've never seen any modd'ed TL. I'm guessing no one from this board lives in my area.

Only 1 or 2 a day, more if driving south, less if driving north. Has a lot to do with where the dealerships are located, the further south I go... I'm getting close to D.C. When I go north, I'm in red-neck land.

Usually I spot them at night on the interstate, because of the headlights. Otherwise, TL's just don't stand out much.

In fact, I saw my first Firepepper Red TL outside of the dealership just yesterday. And I've had my car almost a year now!

------------------
2000 3.2 TL, Paper maps.
Comptech axle-back exhaust.
225/55ZR-16 RE730s on OEM alloys.
205/55QR-16 Alpins on steel wheels w/covers (winter).

I see 3 - 5 in my 'hood, and many on the way to/from work. Almost all of them are stock. Haven't seen any modded TL's out in the Windy City western suburbs.

I don't see many on a regular basis. I most notice them just after sunset because of the HIDs. On average, I see about 5 per week.

Same with almost everyone else. On the upper portion of the front windshield immediately to the left of the rearview mirror, held with two suction cups.

I work about 4 miles from my house (In Stamford, CT) and without exaggeration, I see 20-30 (99-01) TL's a day. At my work alone there are 7 in the parking garage. I have yet to see one modified TL yet and I'd say about 90% of them don't even have spoilers. The most I've seen on a TL is tinted windows.

never kept count... i just know that when i first got my car... when it just came out... i had people drooling when i drove by... people didn't even know what they were looking at... especially me being only 16 when i first got it... every girl wanted either my D**K or a ride... in my car that is lol.
now, when i see others w/TL's, it's mostly old people that barely notice my inspire lights, or i guess just assume mine is a newer model... that happens to have cool lights and a different grille (if they notice that much)... i've done so much more stuff to my car, check out the sig, but it seems that at lights, when next to another TL, they either look the other way, or simply just take a glimpse and then check to see if the lights changed mad: mad:

I see about 4-5 a day.

Hey... my dad owns two Corvettes, and if you've ever been in a Corvette you know this: they all wave at each other at intersections, etc.

We should do that. One time, a lady in a Tl went past me and was looking at mine. So, I gave her a wave. My friends laughed at me.

I see way too many around here. Probably because I live and work 10 minutes from the third largest Acura dealership in the country...

Is it my imagination or what? I see more and more TLs every day. It seems like everyone's driving a TL now! (Of course, with no mods though.)

One's mine and one some doctor...but mine is cooler of course...I got a spoiler. hehe And another friend owns a black TL...so I know a few with TLs, but I don't see them much.

2-3 a day. Mostly silver.
Seen one blue one in the Rockridge area.

Funny, must've been mental or something. I could sworn I'm seeing more ever since I bought mine. While I was shopping, I couldn't find any of them. Almost made me want to get an A6 instead.

the TL was a much better choice....hands down.

Why are there only old ladies and middle-aged white men driving this car!!! Makes you kinda depressed since you know that not many "enthusiasts" appreciate this car for its power, looks, and moddability.

Oh well, I guess that's why we all flock to this board!
