Back to Acura!

Greetings all, I have been a member of the site for quite some time, back when I had my 01 CL-S. I have had an 07 Subaru Legacy GT for the last 4 yrs, which was totaled about 2 weeks ago. After a brief search I am back in an 07 TL-S. Feels good to be back in an Acura, and I look forward to frequenting the site more often than I have in the past few years.

I bet it's good to be back. I've got to think it's a big step up from the Subaru.

Yeah I could have done without the stripes. Turns out they are painted on, I am considering trying to find a shop to remove them, if that is possible.

It is certainly more refined than the Suby was, lots of creature comforts and technology. I do miss the AWD and torque from the little turbo monster though!

Mine were too. A bodyshop will just use paint thinner. They come off easy.

So you had them removed? Worked out good?

Ha, man I know. I live in PA, so we get snow, just not many days of it anymore. We get hit like 3-4 times a winter with a good amount. But the snow is plowed off the main roads the next day. My suby was great in the snow with the Nokian WR tires, could go through anything.

I used to have winter wheels with Blizzaks for my CL, don't really feel like getting another set of wheels, but will probably need to get a set of snows for this thing when the time comes.
