Joined the club this weekend

Picked up a 2008 TL-S on Saturday. Nighthawk Black Pearl. So far i absolutely love it and have just looked for any excuse to drive it this weekend. I will definitely enjoy my 1 hour each way commute a lot more now!!

This is my second Acura. I had a 99 CL 3.0 awhile back. Traded in a 2006 Honda Civic for the TL. I guess I have a little brand loyalty to Honda huh?

Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to my drive to work tomorrow! Of course once I get there I'll be looking forward to driving to lunch, then looking forward to driving home!

Congrats. In which part of Arlington do you live? (I lived there for 24 years up until 1998). Do you head into DC, the NOVA surrounds, or Maryland for work?

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

I live in the Ballston area. I used to work in the NOVA area as well, though I started a new job last summer in Columbia, Maryland. Hence the hour commute. I have thought about moving closer to work, but I like the area I live in a lot, so I just bought the TL to make the commute more enjoyable!
