I drive 92 miles a day and often forget how fun my car is to drive. Usually I keep it sane and shift below 3k (6 MT) so that I can average 30 to 31 miles per gallon for the day (mostly highway). I can't really afford to waste money on gas by gunning my car all the time... BUT, I do indulge sometimes

AND God do I love PUNCHIN' the gas and hitting that 6k to 6.5k RPM sometimes! In my daily commute, I forget how fun and fast (in my opinion) our sedans are. And even after four years and 98k, I still think my car is a show stopper. The lines are so beautiful. I just love to stop and take a gaze from across the parking lot. The design of our cars is timeless.

Anyways, just thought I would share these thoughts of mine. If you read this far, thanks!!!

HAHA! I guess I didn't really pick the best title huh?

I would never literally punch my car. Although I used to do that to my Accord... But that's a whole other story...

Funny you should say that... my accord had knuckle dents in the rear quarters

I feel the same way. Just got home from a 2-week vacation and the first thing I did after unpacking is take the TL for a ride.

pnoi521

haha I'm on a three week vacay, so the night before my flight I took the TL out for a ride to say "see you in three weeks"

dano4o8

Oo...seems like alot of people went from accords..i used to punch my accord once in awhile mainly at the radio

218TL

Yea, it's nice to know the power is there in the car if and when you need it.

SouthernBoy

My sentiments, as well. I am still surprised at the way the car pulls with 3500 pounds and a small 6-cylinder engine. It does a fine job in my opinion.

And the appearance, as you say, is.... well, is very satisfying. I call it understated elegance.

I believe in cleaning the TB air plate and the intake manifold with a good cleaner and new spark plugs are due with 98 on the clock
Then the car will really get up and move!
run some Redline SI-1 in half tank of gas to restore spray pattern to injectors

If you want to PUNCH a car- buy an early saturn with its plastic sides!!

Got one for the wifes kid and showed her its cool feature by kicking and punching my way down the side of the car,,then telling her to clean those boot marks off,, I just washed it for her!!!
(evil stepfather laugh) lol

I hate cars

Good to know. I thought I was the only one that used to do that.

Seriously tho... i love looking at my car too. i get sooo many compliments its crazy. i didnt have my car for a week and i was borrowing my sisters matrix and the security guard at work would give me sht every day bout me not havin my car.

DJANZ07

I do the exact same thing, I love just punching it every once in a while. I got a 2007 type-s it already has 65000 miles but its runs strong all highway miles daily driver about 70 miles a day to and from school. Clutch is still good grips strong. OP how is your clutch still the orginal one?

dbqkqh

oh man I know what you mean by gazing at the car time to time... I believe I will NEVER get tired of the design of the TL...
However, when I'm close to my car, scratches and dents everywhere

Going to have those fixed probably.. next year *sigh*

I have been driving my car "soft" lately, to help conserve gas. So when I step on it, man it feels like I haven't tamed the beast before I let it out of the cage! I love it. And my girlfriend is annoyed about how obsessed I am. I try so hard not to look back at my car after I park it, to check it out

snesmario

Just recently got my TL (almost a month now) and god its so hard to resist revving it up to redline, the sound, the sensation, it all just works so well together. Definitely the best looking Acura, next to the NSX

DJANZ07

Def I love revving it up myself I have to hold back sometimes, I actually think the NSX uses a similar J series Engine too!!

shooter

I take it easy most of the time so it's nice to punch it once in a while, just to know the power is there ... just a side note that last time I rev it high, I see my MPG goes from 24 to 22 right away ...
