Sort of seemed like a JV level effort today ladies. How bout we try bringing some of that A-Game hustle tomorrow? I don't want to have to be productive at work, okay?

Alright, now smack your own ass and get some shut eye. We got a big game against the mental midgets tomorrow and they've been looking pretty strong lately.

I recall a customer's house I once visited had an AMG and he gave me some background on the hand built performance etc...after watching that youtube...I'd be tempted as heck to own it too...especially at that price. DO IT!

Bring PB&J for lunch for 2 months, that'll free up enough for an all cash offer!

Looks like dual 3.5" piping all the way back

Actually the TLX has grown on me already. Decked out I think it's a sexy car. I just wish it had 40-60 more HP.

Chad...they lent me one for a day, it's got more than enough usable power for day to day driving and pulling onto the highway or passing people. It felt pretty damn quick, extremely comfortable...all around, great car and with just wheels/aspec/lowering...it goes from looking like a grandma car to a really really nice contender.

Actually, when I first saw the one Mike Chan put on Vossens locally...I compared it directly to the 3G TL because the aggressive lines and when done right, it looked super awesome. I'd have no problem owning one if it didn't cost me as much as it does and then that makes me consider ALL THE OTHER cars that I can afford in that price range that I might like better or for different reasons.

Funny you mention that Frantz...that was the one thing I DID wish...was 6MT. IT had bawls...it was fun, and it had the first automatic paddle shifter system that I felt didn't try and override my input...it let me downshift very aggressively...it waited for me to shift all the way to redline...shoot, i even chirped tires flicking 2nd gear from redline. VERY fun, but I still like the feeling of a good solid knob in my hand.

It's funny...but if you don't look to the 4G to be the next logical evolution of the 3G, I think you'd actually like it. It doesn't fit...

What should have happened was a totally different name/line and the natural progression would have been
2G TL to 4G TL - Comfortable with some sporty styling
3G TL to 5G TLX (fk you if you correct that) - Sporty with some comfort.

Then again, the 1G was clearly a luxury type of vehicle with sporty left to legend/integra...so really, the 3G is the one that didn't fit. I didn't love the 3G either...until I saw the aspec and lowered.

4G, I have to admit, I do a double take when I see an AWD (maybe MT?!?!) mildly dropped on some decent wheels with the front/rear beaks color matched.

As you said I think it's the progression that's really strange, even more so coming out of the 3G and going to the 4G. If it was a different model then it wouldn't be so much of an issue. But then TSX?? Confuzzled.




Been thinking of TL-S sidemarkers now and make them blink with relay and shit instead of the depos... your fault Jeremy.

No one cares about the TSX. It's a kid's car.

And when the CILXvic came out, the TSX was redundant. So you take X from the TSX and give it to the TL because the new TL is eXperimental.

And Voila... The Aristocrats!

Honestly, Yves, I see no reason why those $35 modifry side marker modules wouldn't work for the rear.

But are you sure you want that much blinking going on?

Ideally :pb: would have strobe lights and Darude-Sandstorm blasting on external speakers every time he signals but that seemed a bit overboard

ILX was a blown opportunity
TLX is nice but just didn't meat expectations
RLX = DOA unless optioned with upgraded tires

They're 35 x 2 for front and rear. Relays and diodes are cheap. DIY!

I like the blinking on the Depo sidemarkers I have right now in the rear, I just don't like that it's white when on and it blinks red. I want red when on and red when it blinks, with the TL-S look. Might rewire the depo and acquire TL-S front or something.
