Lightbulb Survey!

How did you find out about ACURA-TL.com and this Discussion Forum?

Did you use a Search engine like Yahoo (Acura TL search)? Did you hear about us first on Honda-Acura.net? Maybe you read the article in Sport Compact Car magazine?

Please take a moment to tell us, even if you've never posted before. Your input is appreciated. Thanks

I found H-A.net after I purchased my '99 TL, where my lust for customizing my TL was started by long-time members, AcuraTL, 1999TL, Diplo, and Jedi and of course I met SNooK there. Now just look at me

I actually found it through edmunds.com... remember the topic on the wipers on edmunds.com... that's where someone mentioned this site.... and since I just got my TL I had to check it out.

I found this site via Edmunds. Somebody asked a question on Edmunds that had been discussed here. They were referred to come here to get the answer, so I came over to also see the answer and I have been an observer and infrequent poster since.

I think it was mentioned in an Acura Yahoo club. Don't bother looking for that club. It was pretty pathetic.

Like many of the folks above, I looked for, and found the old Honda-Acura.net after I purchased my TL. After the numerous hacks, I located this web site (I do not remember how - bad drugs, I guess). I have found this site to be both entertaining, and a great source of information. Tim has indeed done a great job on maintaining and improving this Website! Thanks snook, we all appreciate it!

Right there with ya... I remember when Tim first created it. Though acura-tl.com really didn't take off until Tim put up the UBB... then it grew like wildfire.

Tim, like when I used to drive my car, and ppl would ask where i got mods, I would say, go to www.acura-tl.com I'd give them my email, then they'd email me back saying something along the lines of, "Holy sh!t, you guys are crazy, spending all that time and money on a car...I love it" Too bad I never got that dude's sn, if you're here, you probably know who you are.

I've known Tim, since the old days of HA.net

I do that a lot(type in the name I'm looking for between www and com), it's amazing to see what people have done on the web.
