Back in the saddle
After trading in my WDP TL-S for a 350Z back in 2010, the bug has bitten and I found a 08 CBP TL-S with 37K miles on her. I'm at the dealership right now making the deal. They gave me a pretty good amount for trade on the 350Z. So, I'm back in the Acura family!!

I know I'm suppose to post some pics. Those will come later as they are going to keep the car a day to get it prepped.

Probably it being a 2 seater with limited cargo space.. It's a fun, but small car.

I think the magic number for the James bug is 1326, not 2.

Wifey got tired of getting in and out of the car when it's so low.

Car was rearended earlier this year. It drives fine but has a crumple on the passenger rear quarter panel and some rash on the left rear bumper. Mileage is getting kinda high 98K. Had a starting issue with the battery cable. The fun factor was there, but my true love is the Acura brand.

Ah.. I'm guessing fitting more than a handbag in the car must be nice too.

Congratulations LoveMyTL-S on finding such a low mileage TL!

She looks like she's in great shape!

What's that "blur" beneath the Acura emblem on the trunk?
