the TL's last shots - farewell shoot (+CL-S)

My TL is and has been parting in the past week or two... I did a last shoot along with a friend's ('Lippstuh' on the boards) CL-S6 before taking off the mods.

It's really unfortunate that I couldn't make it to the all-California gathering a few weeks back as my last meet as well as meeting some of the norcal & out of state guys.

Since I started driving the TL and coming onto the boards, I've learned a vast range of my car knowledge from all the threads and even from fellow TL/CL owners. It's been a great journey and although I'm moving onto a new car (which you will see below... ), I'll def be checking AZ every now and then.

The usual with my photoshoot posts... camera used: Canon 350D, lens used: 17-40mm f4, touching up on camera RAW & minor spotting in photoshop only, and no rigs!





























This is the new toy... say hello!

Ahh, Once of the nicest 99' TL on earth and we all will miss the TL dearly!

Nice looking S2000! Maybe it will be my first 2 door sport car in next few year. Have fun with your new car.

Thanks Huy, glad to have met you through the boards. Better shoot me a message when you pick yours up

1. Better my driving skills to match the car's potential in its stock form
2. simple HU to play my MP3's
3. Suspension / grippy-er tires
4. Weight savings (light weight wheels, CF bits)
5. Amuse front bumper, OEM/similar flush spoiler
6. Power

^ Likely in that order

Actually it was over at Angeles Crest forest (Highway 2 going north past La Canada). I live a little closer to Angeles so I tend to go there more often. Both canyon roads are great fun to drive on though! Brought the TL up there often

Been on that board for nearly 2 years now, about time I can finally call myself an owner!

I def remember back when you posted pics of your sebring (correct me if i'm wrong) & your TL, and thought, wow, that's one garage I wouldn't mind having! Too bad you had to part with the s2k, but surely the 3G TL isn't shabby at all either...

Definitely will... The switch isn't so bad. Sure, it's a completely different machine (auto/MT, hard top/convert., big/small car, FWD/RWD... goes on and on) haha. I think the s2000 gives such a rewarding driving experience that even if you mess up here & there, it just gives that motivation to drive it better and improve so you feel like you're learning about the car rather than trying to adapt to it. Might be hard to understand, and it's probably the best i could describe it at this moment. And yes, it's my DD and i don't mind it one bit~!
