This is true. I know I might get an aspec lip kit but that's it and that probably wont be til next year. I see more black, silver and White TL's than any color and I admit they look clean and like they all sit in garages:P I know mine isn't gonna look like any other. The only person I told my plans to was Kiran( M. King) and that was just last night But yeh there are a butt load of TL's around here. When you get to Mo. County they are as common as Accords. I see more Bimmers and benz up that way or just full blown exotics

xtin

Yeah Im in MoCo near Potomac and I see about 15 TL's everyday on my way to DC for school...sometimes even more..its craziness I tell ya.

Ive got the full aspec kit but Ive got the gunmetal wheels which are hard to find. You should remember that! We stood outside IHOP together

How could i forget! When the Aspec's show'd up I looked so stock That'll change shortly though whether it be looks or sound

Sorry for the poor picture quality (I took this picture with my camera phone) but along with the plethora of Acura's, Mercedes, and BMW's in the DC Metro area, it's always nice to see cars that break the monotony once in a while. This is what I followed on the Dulles Toll Road a couple weeks ago while on the way to Tyson's Corner:




Carrera GT



Here's A Ferrari in an accident on Fairfax County Parkway

jmbnova

I do love seeing some of the exotics around here.... but they are always old people who drive slow..... its always funny to me to blow past a Lotus or a Ferrari in my TL..... eventhough I know they could make me look like I was riding a unicycle, its still nice to do once in awhile...

JPTL-S

I tend to see a lot out my way because the Ferrari / Maserati dealership is only 10 min away. I actually saw an orange Lamborghini the other day Oh and as for the Carrera GT driver, he was driving like there was no tomorrow.

I saw a black ferrari modena on rockville pike off i think that was randolph road couple weeks ago. I see porsche's often and a couple lamborghini's off indian head hwy by me. But when you get down buy me, its all classics, collectiable, american muscle restore but still willing to show off at a light or two

RSA_Secure

Besides Ferraris and Lambos, I spotted a Maybach in front of Accenture building in Reston!! Now that's something I havent seen anywhere else.

chill_dog

I never imagined the Maybach to be special...guess that's because there are 2 or 3 locally and they are driven regularly (the guys who own them live close to me, too), so I see them quite a bit. Ferrari's and Maserati's aren't too rare, either...Lambos, on the other hand...I've seen 2 in 28 years.

I've seen them a couple times..at the club. LOVE nightclub. The first time i saw one I was like cool but what the purpose. You don't drive those cars..they drive you or someone else drives them with you in the back...or is this just me

KOIBOY

Anybody else notice that there are several Bentley Continental GT's around in DC? does anybody else agree with me that they are a fugly car? and before i get flamed i know some people dont buy for looks, and about the engine, etc etc etc...

I think they are ok. Ive seen one up in Rockville..young guy driving and i mean like low- middle 20's

Riu

I see all those cars quite often.

I don't keep count of how many TLs I see in the DC area, but mine is one of them. If you saw a black TL with Virginia license plate FLU M2, that was me. More likely than not I was on the horn—traffic's been bad this week.

1995hoo

I don't agree with you. I saw a black one at the Mandarin Oriental when I went to CityZen and I thought it was a very sharp-looking car. From the magazine pictures I think I like the Flying Spur better, although I have not seen one in person.

SouthernBoy

Not really surprising. Upper Virginia contains the three most vibrant counties in the nation.

Fairfax is the wealthiest county in the country.
Loudoun is the fastest growing county.
Prince William had the highest level of job growth in the nation last year.

Lots of money here.

jmbnova

WooHoo... Representing Fairfax!! I close on my home in Fairfax City on Tuesday... Does this mean I am one of the wealthiest people in the country?? I think it does!!

jamilla

want to post a pic of my 04 TL black on black on black.

Black paint
Black windows (ALL of them)
Black 20's w/ ch. lip

I live in Columbia MD. Let me know if you've seen me. I probably saw you cuz EVERYBODY around here owns one.

I have about 3 more months to go, then the teenager gets the old Accord airport car, and my daily 90 min torture session will become pure joy .....

I commute 90 min round trip daily here in Big D, the land of the SUV, I think the state may have officialy designated the GM Yukon the official state vehical.

Other then that it's 3 series as far as the eye can see.

As far as TL's go, I generally see one going in, and one coming out, and I'm looking for them 'cause I can'd decide on the color to order! It's kinda like when the wife was pregant.... suddenly you're keenly aware of others in a similar state

So if you're on 35E between Flower Mound and Addison and a ratty old 93 accord tucks in on your wing for a look see, don't worry, I'm just trying to get through the commute

Dan in Dallas .....

but true

jmbnova

I commute from Falls Church to Quantico everyday. Im against traffic and I sit there driving by at 6am watching all the people coming up 95 to get to DC in bumper to bumper traffic.... not even moving... makes me not mind the extra cost of housing to live inside the beltway

ackleg

I agree with you, I see them at least a few times each week in the area. I just seen a green one around my moms way hillcrest hgts. I don't think they are ugly. first thing I think of is volkswagon makes them, and I wonder if most of these folk know that they are by them.

I've been seeing a lot of porcshe the 911 type and cayenne's. see bentleys sometimes, I don't see as many TL's like most everybody else say. I see more BMW than TL and I mean all, BMW 2006 7,5, 3 series sometimes 6 series.

I'm starting to see alot more 2006 RL's now

arctangent

I see more TLs then I can count when I'm in Montgomery Co. Mostly like because of the dealership there. I also see plenty at the Pentagon, oddly they all park at the bottom of the parking lot together -- which I find kind of cute. Otherwise, in Southern MD where I live, the only one I see is the one in my garage when I get home. Lots and lots of SUVs down there tho.

Interestingly enough...a friend of a friend of mine has an orange lamborghini gallardo...lives in reston....i wonder if it was him you saw...

of course, given the number of exotics people see around the dc area...maybe the gallardo is the next TL and there will be one on every corner!

jmbnova

Ive seen an orange lambo drive right throught he Reston Town Center while I was having dinner ooutside at Clydes.... wonder if it was him..

brian92873

Very likely, athough who knows i guess...unfortunately i'm not close enough with the guy to even go for a ride in the thing and all i've seen are pics but it was a beautiful looking ride...

the friend that is close with him isn't the slightest bit an auto-enthusiast and OFCOURSE (murphy's law) he's been invited to drive it

xtin

Not in Columbia. My fiance lives in Columbia (Stevens Forest) and not one TL in the entire neighborhood of about 1000 houses.

My neighborhood in Rockville . .hah, 5 on my street ALONE

xtin

I just have to point out that your signature has "Debagged" on it. Which bags did you take off?

chill_dog

Maybe he doesn't let the wife/gf in it anymore

jmbnova

How did you know.... Actually, thats why I did the 5AT to 6MT swap... she cant drive a manual!!

Debagged means I took off the ACURA and TL emblems on the trunk for that 'clean' look...

AXXKicker

i live in herndon as well. right off worldgate in the condos there.

and my commute is to crystal city every day.

bought the nav to play with while sitting in stopped traffic. blah to that.

abp/camel. LOVE it.

xtin

No No no, thats DebadGed

Hence, my point.

jmbnova

Wow... good catch.. thanks... Fixed


Maybe noone saw it....

xtin

Its been bothering me for awhile now

Was the Rockblocker kit hard to do ? Ive got the tails and sidemarker kit

jmbnova

Its not hard at all... if you do it yourself... use the wet install directions... also use a hairdryer to heat the plastic... it will make it easier to stretch...
