Well I Dont have Pics of it, But my Previous car was a 05 MonteCarlo SS, Got rid of it Cuz I Wanted a RWD so Baaaadddd I Didnt know back then that Stupid MonteCarlo 05 was FWD somehow I had the strange Idea that all Montis were RWD, Fool of me...

Even with the beautiful S/C Sound wasnt enough to keep it, Trade it in for the 02 TL-S Never looked back..

Mid 90's Cadillac Eldorado, Matallic Polo Green with leather that felt and lloked like butter. Tinted windows. Basically a pimp-mobile, I liked it.

The TL-S I have now is more fun to drive, but less pimp-factor.

1997 Accord v6. Most reliable, predictable and conservative car ever!! Much like my '03 TL Type S, I just wish it had a clutch.

Moving forced me to sell a truly rare black on black panther, which I waited for a very very long time. 1 in a million car. Only 6k were ever made, just over 3k were in US. Tiny portion of that was true black on black panthers.

Before the TL

For me, it was a 1990 Mercedes 300 SEL. It's what led me down the road of luxury vehicles. Sadly, I lost it in a hit and run this past Jan.

Had a 1999 Acura Integra LS auto (157K), but totaled it while building a H22A4 5MT to drop in. Then had a 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege (159K) that I sold a couple of weeks ago right after I bought a 2003 TL-S with 85K.

I still have it. It's actually my first car. Since like, 2005 or 2006. It needs a paint/body job now but it's still a fun, stiff rided, low accord. H22 and cold air.

I never had money before now so all my previous cars werent very nice but here's the list in kinda order of how I bought them: '86 Cavalier, '92 Explorer, '74 Nova, '77 Cutlass, '88 Camaro, '84 Toronado, '82 Cavalier (first production year lol), '89 Crown Victoria, '93 Taurus SHO, and all that led me to now here I have both '01 Honda Odyssey for family time and daddy only car '01 TL. Sorry no pics of old cars. They either were towed or junked as scrap. While its been a fun ride changing cars the past 16 years I think in gonna stick w these 2 till they refuse to go any further.

My last car was a 01 Civic LX. I had to commute to a second job so I could finance the wedding so I got the Civic used from a friend. I still miss that car.

1996 Honda Civic Sedan EX Green after that, POS car, broke down on me, still own it and pretty much scrapin it, partin it out

for me, my first car was an '07 Nissan Altima 2.5S CVT tranny... cant complain cause it was brand new off the lot, but gladly gave it back when the lease was over... for a four cylinder it was pretty good but the cvt tranny sucked ass... now on my '99 TL on XXR 503, love this car

Had an 03 Nissan Altima 2.5 5MT I had from new. It died a horrible and untimely death when the cat melted down and shrapnel made it into the motor destroying the cylinders. Common problem on that model.

Rode a motorcycle for a year, moved to Europe for a year and just moved back to the US permanently. Needed a car to get around CA and always loved the 2 gen tl. Mine has 115k on it and is in need of a little tlc, but I'm reading up about it on the forum and starting to take care of the maintenance.

Thanks to all the members for making this such a great source of information!

The past couple were:

-94 Accord
-93 Camry
and now the 00 TL.

I kind of miss the Accord, but the Camry was a POS. I still miss having a stick shift. Stupid slush boxes irritate me.
