Just wanted to say hi!

I too am a TL-S owner...but it is a Suzuki TL1000S (and it only has 2 wheels).

I am in the market for a new car for my future real estate business, and I have come to the conclution of getting at Acura TL-S. I test drove one on Saturday, and to say the least, I was impressed. It is about as fast as my old 5.0! I couldn't believe it. But then if I had dumped 20+k into it then there would be no comparison...but anyways...

I love the quiet and comfort of the TL, plus it looks like a mob boss car!

I will keep learning about her for the next few months, and then I will post photos when I pick it up. I am pretty sure I will go with the 2003, I am not sure I like the 04...

I will be lurking around!

It was not stock...I did intake...and Stainless equal length headers, Stainless off road pipes, and stainless mufflers. All of that cost me 6 bills and some change. The 5.0s are sooo inexpensive to fix up. It was a blast to drive and sounded SOOO mean. I suck at racing, (I am afraid of breaking my daily driver) but I ran high 14s in it. They are easy to get into the 13s but after that it starts to cost some $$$.

I am not in the market for a go fast mobile (that is what the bike is for) but I want something to keep me interested.

Getting rid of the bike???

Why in the world would you want to sell the bike?

What kind is it?

You might want to wait for the spring, you will be able to sell it for a lot more!
