Introducing myself.

Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself, I've been a lurker of this forum for a little bit now and decided that I should join.
I bought myself a 2007 CGP (or graphite pearl here in Canada) Base TL. I love this car. To me, it's a great upgrade from my 2002 Acura el. I purchased the car in June 2011, so i have had this car for a few months. I have only tinted my windows. I not really planning on doing any modding to my daily driver, so it'll probably stay pretty much the way it is. maybe some wheel and tires for winter and maybe new ones for next summer.
Ever since I bought this car ive been addicted to the site, just browsing And looking at all the different threads.
well just thought I would say hi to everyone.
and for anyone that lives in the GTA area, I live in Guelph and commute to Hamilton for work, and i drive up to Barrie quite often, so say hi if you see me on the road. might be hard to spot me since I don't have anything different on my car, but I have a keychain head of Frank the bunny from Donnie Darko hanging from my rear view mirror. (favorite movie)

my name is Michael by the way.

I don't know how many times in my short stay on AZine that I have read those same words in someone's first post.... If you're addicted to this site like you say, it's just a matter of time....

Welcome Michael, and congrats on your new car!!!

Congrats Welcome to AZ! Check out the 3G garage for tons of info. Also register your TL at www.myacura.com in the USA or https://www.myacura.acura.ca/myAcura...ToLoginPage.do in Canada. Save your Navi and Radio codes there. Check for any recalls your TL may need.

ha, i didn't need AZ to mod the car...at first...my brother was already modding it before i bought it! then there was a long hiatus...and some lurking on AZ...then i needed a jump start to love my car all over again, in went a suspension, RSB and tint. i love my car all over again and i'm even more anal about it than i was before!

OP- welcome...but keep lurking and you too will want maximize the TL's performance and what it can do...just don't go broke doing it. enjoy the new ride
