10,000 Miles and Going

I bought my -06TL in October 2005 and love it. This past weekend I just broke the 10,000 mile mark!

Things I love about my TL
- My wheelset (5Zigens)
- The bluetooth function
- The smooth six speed
- My A-Spec Front Lip
- The smooth quiet power the TL puts out (much different than my Prelude with CAI Intake, DC Sports Headers and exhaust)

Things I kind of dislike about the TL or wished it had (bear in mind I haven't seen what the new models have added since I bought the 06):
- Automatic Lights
- Brembo's on rear wheels
- I wish I bought the NAVI--in the non-navi they should have installed an electronic compass in the rearview
- The backseat should fold down completely for access
- The dashboard fade
- Turn signals/lights on mirrors (I think they've added these now)
- I had to have the battery replaced about two months ago
- I had to have the brake pads replaced due to rust from lack of driving
- The three dings (two on front 1/4 panel and one in the rear bumper) -- don't know where these came from..but I will FIND you!

Overall, the TL has been great!

Wow, you just broke the 10,000 mile mark, that is amazing. I thought that I didn't put many miles on my cars.

10K...wow! I'll hit 52K on my '06 this week. Still feels brand new. Actually it feels better than brand new. It's a lot tighter with the Progress RSB.

This has to be flame. Why even own a car if you drive it so little?

Like one of the OP suggested, maybe he has more than one car? mine is about 7k 7 that's because we always take my wife's SUV when we need to transport our baby girl around ..

As long as he enjoys driving the Tl, rock on!

Okay, but so you know, I'm stereotyping you as a dot.com millionaire based on your car usage and address...

Sorry..I didn't log-on this weekend. To answer the question: I have two cars but I only really drive the TL to go to the golf course on the weekends because I take the train to work. I like driving it but we drive our other car more frequently because it has the stroller, etc. in the trunk.

Here are pics of my car (from last year)
