My TL went off roading

ok...not really.

After work today I went out to take some pictures for my final project (Night pictures of creepy places). So I pulled over on this dirt next to an open field. Wasn't really thinking about how soft the dirt was cause it's been raining for the pass couple days....long story straight the TL got stuck in mud. Tried rocking it forward...but that didn't help, so I put it in reverse and rocked it out...lol Thought i had to call my dad and tell him to bring the truck to pull me out. Fun times...

lol.... A picture of the car back from the bodyshop from the accident...

^^ Honestly, they could of done a better job. The paint still isn't matching and sometimes i have to slam the door to get it shut. The gap between the hood and bumper is still kinda big. I'm just picky....took the car back to the shop 5 or 6 times. The people there are probably pissed off...haha

lol...I hosed it off...but haven't gotten to actually clean it.

The rear bumper has always been off color like that. Usually the color on the rear bumper is always off color cause of the plastic compare to the metal for some reason.

^ lol trust me, theres an entire 3g thread on that topic.


ok let me get this straight...


the TL was damaged. body shop did a "meh" job of fixing it. you get the car back. you get the car stuck in the dirt in an attempt to get some photos. after many tries, you get the car out. you forget to take photos. you drive home. you take photos of car in driveway.

Does your Acura dealership have a body shop? They can match the paint for you.

Who said i was drinking and driving when i got in an accident. I was driving home from work on a rainy day, when someone lost control and side swiped me (check out the other thread i posted of my accident). Yea, the TL is build like a tank...came out of the accident with no scratches but a heartache (poor car).

Frye Man...long story straight....yea, you pretty much sum it up, but i got the car back 6 months ago before i went out to take pictures.

JDM Inspired...Riding Durrty

Mcflyguy24...they probably could...I stopped caring about the color, no point fussing about it anymore.
