Ain’t that the truth. Sometimes you have to lose something just to appreciate how good it was. It took a day of driving an Integra loaner to realize just how smooth and powerful the TLS is.
Having owned my TLS for a little over a month I had begun to take the “effortlessness” of acceleration and handling for granted. When I got back behind the wheel of my TLS last evening I had a big smile on my face. Driving other cars will never be the same again

I feel ya, my car is in the shop installing the Alpine multimedia system. Its been a pain in the ass to drive my Rodeo suv for 2 weeks! That POS eats gas like nothing you've seen before. Worse part is that i see every car passing me and i can't go too fast otherwise i'm afraid the car will flip during turns and it feels like its about to fall apart any moment! Thank gawd i'm picking up my baby tomorrow night!

I have learned that there is no such thing as a perfect car. Just when i thought my stock TL was THE perfect car, I found this site. Everything changed from that point! Regretted not getting NAV in the first place, so I installed the Alpine aftermarket system for navigationa and TV capability. Now that the setup is almost done which i thought my video setup WOULD be perfect, i see Stylin Silver Sled's tl, and BANG! one word, GAWD! I wish I never saw it, or at least rip my eyes out just in time to avoid it! The setup is similar to the BMW demo on the Alpine site, sweet as hell! Then came along the indigo gauges, 19" rims, ww spoiler, body kit, etc
I think this car went from perfect to POS! Its just a never ending blood sucking modding machine! I never even dreamed of modding a car before, since my Rodeo suv and Nissan Quest is stock. And here i am, on this forum reading day and night, at work and home. This site is killing me! Soon i'll be fired for non productive work, and sleeping on the streets because of selling the house to hook my baby up, aheaehaehae I'll just get 2 more speeding tickets to suspend my license. I've did a search for all of StreetEffectz post for video setup ideas and found out that the old schoolers were just as hyped if not more then me in the beginning. Now that a year or more has passed, they seemed more settle and relaxed. But how can you tell a newbie like me who just bought the car for 2 months and not freak out after visiting this forum? Any TL doctors here, DRUG ME!
