Guess what?
Hey...look what I have...










If you don't know what car I had...




Well, it's temporay for right now. Took my car in for a tranny flush and told him that it's shifting hard into 3rd gear. 20 mins later I got a call from the service manager saying that I need a new tranny. So, now my car is in the shop for at least 3 days, and I get to have fun with a new 07 TL I thought I'd share some pictures with you guys...lol

I'm surprise that I got a TL for the loaner car. I thought I would get a TSX or something but i'm happy

When I've taken my TL in to the shop for regular maintenance stuff, the garage guy asks me what car I want. I've had other TLs, but I think on my next visit (in a couple weeks) I'm gonna ask for a new MDX to see what the ride is like.

lol, the new temporary TL rides great. I'm surprised with all that power just from a little acceleration. The car rides smooth on bumpy roads and cornering. Overall, I would get this TL in WDP w/ black leather and manual if i had the money.

I couldn't wait to get my TL back and hand in that f'n TSX. I swear my 01 TLP is at least nine times faster, more comfortable, and more capable than the TSX.

I don't think i could own one. I would be interested to see what other 2nd gen TLers thought about the TSX

The SS moniker is like putting lipstick on a pig, but if you have to ride substandard, at least ride top-of-the-line-substandard, right?
