Chances of another Type S parking next to you

So, I walk out of class on Saturday during lunch and look what I find parked next to my KBP Type S. I know the owner isn't in my class and noticed another classroom filled with students after lunch, so assume the driver is in that class. Location: Palm Beach Community College parking lot in Palm Beach Gardens, Fl.

BTW-I noticed the bumpers on this WDP are totally a different shade then the rest of car....It was the first thing I noticed. I would be taking it back to Acura and complain if it was my car.


Sorry for the crappy pic. It's from my blackberry

Lol, I did this to somebody shopping at Lowe's one day. Needed a few things from there and apparently another customer was driving a CBP Type-S. I had to take that rare opportunity to park next to it so they could see THE best color: KBP!

I think it's cool that they wanted to park next to you. BTW, it's normal that the bumper doesn't quite match in the WDP. Mine is the same way.

there's a number of 04-06 TLs on my campus - i seem to be one of the few with an 08 though.

on another note, i pulled into a shell station and behind me was a WDP and next to me were an ASM and a CGP

mine too, and i can guarantee that his is the same way, you just need to look at it in the correct way to see the color difference...

I saw a blue (KBP?) at Dulles Town Center as I was leaving. They did NOT park next to me! I don't know if they saw my car or not, though...

Aceman, it's funny you posted this. When I first bought my Type S, I was in Walgreens, I walked out to my car and not only saw another Type S, but it was an ASM Type S-just like mine. All this is ironic because you rarely see a Type S in Kansas City, let alone an exact replication of my car.

i have WDP and i have that color mis match on my bumper, too. I used to be annoyed by it, but when I saw other ppl having the same issue, it didnt bother me anymore. its a small imperfection that im willing to sacrifice for the WDP b/c its the best color for the 07-08 models IMO.

I always park by TL's when I can. I have parked by a black type s at FIU for a few times now. Next time leave a flyer for the upcoming meet on his windshield and hopefully he'll come!

in my almost 2 years of having my car, i have seen some 3rd gen TL-Ss around here but they are still rather rare to see. i have only pulled up to like.. one at a stop light a few times because we both work near each other. it would be nice to come out the mall and see one next to me, but i dunno.. i never see them in shopping centers.
i havent seen a single 4th gen TL on the road tho my dealer says they've sold 30 to 40 of them

I generally make it a point (if possible) to park next to, or in-between 2 nicer cars. I'm more worried about Stanley getting into his rusty Festiva liberally opening his door without due care of hitting the car parked beside him (which could be mine), than finding a TL to park beside. Although sure, it's a bonus.

here in Hawaii, Oahu to be more exact the Type-S is not so common. but finding another Type-S parked next to me has happened a couple of times. heck when i see another Type-S i try and park next to it. i figure he appreciates the car so he wont put ding on another Type-S. plus it just looks cool
