Must be some extremely minor changes for '13

Was there any write-up or anything with that email? I haven't gotten one yet.

I had the MPP (Moores performance parts) spacer....it is 1" wide as compared to the 0.75" of the P2R and 70mm in diameter as compared to the 66mm of the P2R....this was sandwiched in 2 P2R Gaskets which were bored for port match....then i had the coolant bypass....finally an insulated CAI....

i could literally stick my tongue on the TB after a drive on a hot summer day....

however the setup I have now is 2012 SHAWD Manifold and TB with a 4" intake SRI styled...I do not have any TBS or thermal gaskets but I still do have the coolant bypass....now i cant stick my tongue on the TB but def put my hand on there...its warm to touch....

I would like to further drop the underhood temps and am working on something and adding a dryer hose from the lower grille to the filter neighborhood....lets see how that goes

What makes the 2013 TL so refined? Every detail was thoughtfully designed to engage the senses and elevate your time on the road. With heated and ventilated seats, you'll know comfort any way the wind blows. An optional (idiots) 15-gig hard disk drive memory and the convenient Song By Voice™ feature will have you singing along as the miles breeze by. And the smooth (swoosh), 6-speed Sequential SportShift automatic transmission with paddle shifters allows you both precise automatic shifting and shift-for-yourself control. Plus, an available blind spot information system assists you when making lane changes, and a Battery Management System helps prevent a dead or weak battery, so you'll be ready for anything that comes your way. For more proof of its elegant athleticism, you can explore the TL through this comprehensive, interactive e-brochure.

He has, what I call, a Negative-Apple-Mendoza line. At a certain quota of negative energy directed at Apple, just like a Old Faithful, he goes ka-boom.

With my wife DD'ing the TL, I'm limited to what I can do to it. I have plans for wheels and lowering, but am petrified of what she would do to the front lip.

I would LOVE to buy a second TL for myself to play with. I'd do the while diet thing. Plus, with my paint/body experience, I'd venture into making fiberglass doors, hood, and deck lid for it. Maybe not hood since there are options available already, but definitely the others.

Don't be. Ron wielded his hammer, squid_monkey went flying...

With the airtime, I think squidy won't land on his @$$ until sometime, next decade?

Yeah, sorry you blinked. But, you realize 1 second for us is an eternity for Ron A...by the time he had swung his hammer as the finishing move, he had already put in his 23489234134098 hit c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-combo on squidy...

I don't think the idiot's Mom will recognize his face come Thanksgiving.
