Hey guys, noob introduction...
Hey guys my name is Grant and I'm 23 from CT. I just purchased a 2006 Acura TL Anthracite Metallic with gray interior with Navigation. She only has 10,933 miles on her and I absolutely stole her for $23k (in my opinion) 
She is in absolute mint condition inside and out, it doesn't even look like anyone ever sat inside!
I'm a big car nut and usually play around with muscle cars, I just sold my 2002 Mustang GT and traded in my daily 2001 Nissan Pathfinder for the new TL. So far it was a great decision to downsize and just have one car for a change!
Well I'm just making my face known around here, and wondering if there's anything I should know about these cars, or opinions, advice etc..
Many thanks,
-Grant

Welcome to the forums. Post some pics 
Theres a lot of people from CT on these boards, and they do quite a few CT meets though ive never gone.
As far as the car goes, reading these forums will give you the mod bug, and you will spend lots. My advice is, if you want to mod it go ahead but the car is amazing stock, go with a-spec parts if you want to mod, tint obviously, keep it clean

Nice pickup Grant. Throw some pictures up when you get a chance. Now that you're down to one car, you'll have a lot more money for mods!

Thanks guys! The only things I'm thinking about doing is just simple tints and a lip spoiler for now. Oh, and an ipod interface is a must. Speaking of which, how involved is that to put it in the factory location for the 07-08's?

Grant, I think that's what we all said-in the beginning. I had a Chrysler Sebring convertible for 11 years before I bought my Type S. When I bought it, I was only going to get tints....that was before I discovered Acurazine.
