Die-cast models of the 3rd Gen TL?

Hey everyone...

As I am sure all of you can relate...I've owned my car for a little more than a month now and still find myself taking every opportunity that I have to grab a look at her.

My wife thinks I am pathetic, but I will actually open the inside garage door just to look at my sweet ride.

My question is, I collect die-cast model cars and was wondering if any have been made of the 3rdgenTL? It would make the perfect addition to my collection and could also help to control my obsession with my ride! Any info. would be great!

Thanks!

Those are cool. I collect die-cast models too. But I only like 1:18 models and I want a regular TL, not the A-spec. They used to make an NSX one but it's been discontinued. If anyone knows where to get a 1:18 model, let me know.

It's not pathetic to look at your car like that. Just at look at women are with jewelry. They look at it even when they're not going to wear it any time soon.

Not nearly pathetic, normal behavior for car lovers.

You're not pathetic! If it was a car that was on the road as frequently as the Camry or Honda, you could look at other people's TL's and admire them too! But since there aren't so many out there, you have to admire and drool over your own!

BTW, someone mentioned women and jewlery,.... I got a pretty ring for my 5th anniversary and now almost 10 years later, I still like to look at it! The TL is kinda like that!
