You graduated from college at 19?

Yeah.. how-a-bout that.. I saw that, too. Good for him. I was 34 before I received my first degree (well, yes.. I went back to school).

Congrats to him!

aw1

it will depending on the situation. as southernboy said, there are to many variables. if i feel there is no way out but to go down fighting, then i will go down fighting. but i will not give them are reason to shot me.

If someone had me at gun point I would ask them if they wanted a test drive to show them what it can do and then I'd show them all the gadgets of the car ... Navi, DVD player, etc. etc. ya know .. make sure he's real comfortable. Then maybe set up his phone with the blue tooth HFL. And of course after all that ... wash and wax it up real nice, some good tire shine, etc.

I'll be damned if I'll have my car out on the road not racing and blingin' away!

jk

I don't get a ton of stares right as of now ... but once I drop it and do the rims ... I'm sure it'll get more than enough attention. I cant wait to see what the guys in the loading dock at the service dept. say when I drive my car in there, haha. I never see a supped up TL at my dealer.

Thank you so much guys. Yeah I kinda knew what I wanted to be by my sophomore year so I had a head start....and an employer before I even left for college - but he and I agreed that a trade school with an accelerated course would give me the book smarts I needed before I could start work.
Even my best friends are like ......"so thats it?......you're done?" lol

Wow! What a good thread. I actually didn't expect so many responses. I can't wait to get my TL nevertheless. It will take some time to get use to the stares and overcomine my worries. I guess the bottom line is that you'll get stares regardless, but take precaution against the ones that appear as "I want your car" type of stare.

Also, I'll have to try to get use to the low visibility from the rear view mirror (due to the headrest on the backseats), the somewhat low-sounding horn (the Integra's are louder to me) and the, sorry to say, crappy radio. The TSX's sounds better.

Again, thanks for all inputs and I welcome more.

Tempest811

Yeah it's definately obvious that the radio and XM were #2 on the list of priorities next to the the DVD-A. I guess they just have their fingers crossed that DVD-A takes off. I don't see why it shouldn't...but they may have anticipated it a little too soon.

lscld

Probably after LOL. But hey, at least the guy will get caught. I do realize that it was a pretty stupid point for me to bring up, but I just thought it was funny when I heard that people have been caught like that before.

SouthernBoy

Actually, I think in some cases, you're right. I once started a book and the carjackers were cussing and fuming because the main character had a Club on his steering wheel and his car was a manual. When they asked him for his keys to the Club, he lost it and killed both of them.

SouthernBoy

Yeah, there really are too many variations on something like this. And most people just move through their day in condition white when they should be in condition yellow.

While I'm certainly pleased about the fact that my state has chosen NOT to break the law (like some places such as Chicago, New York, Washington, DC, San Francisco), I am both careful and cautious when carrying. I kinda prefer it that way. And I feel sorry for you good people who live in places where your lawmakers spit on the Bill of Rights. Don't they know that the founding documents are the supreme law of the land and that those documents supercede anything they do to thwart what's spelled out in them. Of course they don't and neither do the courts. This is what we get when we began to allow the concept of interpretation into Constitutional meaning.

Oh well, guess I better get down from my soapbox and make room for someone else. Once again people.. a really interesting and thought-provoking thread. We really do need more of this.
