New 2007 TL-S owner come Tuesday!

So I bought the wife a 2007 TSX 2 months ago and found myself enjoying it more then her. We went on a trip up north around Lake Michigan and had a good time. Got my first speeding ticket in 7 years, sigh\grin. Anyway, I tried to pass a slow caddie on a 2-way hiway, and it just didn't have that extra ump to get around quickly. Other than that, I loved the car.

So when I got back I went shopping, after test driving several Acuras (TL, TL-S, RL,) and the Infiniti G 35 , I keep going back to the TL-S, and I think I'm falling in Love......So I dumped my 2005 Jeep gas eater (V-8 12mpg. city + not near as much fun to drive)

I take ownership of a NBP, B/S, beeeuuutttful ride, early next week, gee I bet I don't sleep much this weekend, just dreaming.......

Well the Exterior Color is "NightHawk Black Pearl" and the Interior is Ebony\Silver. I settled on the "5 speed-auto" (I have a bad left knee, clutches are a BIG PAIN, sigh) but looking forward to using the "paddes" to do some shifting.....

The price was $34800................(without the extended warr).

Pics will be coming after I pick her up (the car, not the wife)

This forum was a great resource for researching info on "MY" TL, I spent several hours poring over the threads, snagging excellent information that I can and will use.

Thanks for the warm welcome all.

Congratulations....

I believe you will sleep good this weekend dreaming about your TL-S.

Maybe you will have to let your wife drive once in a while, since she let you drive her TSX :wink:
