New to AcuraZine, long time honda owner
Where to begin. My 1st car was '91 honda Civic 8 yrs ago. My mom gave it to me with 170K miles on it. Drove it everywhere. Now has 289,989miles on it. I then bought a 2002 CBR 945RR in 2006. Been lovin' it ever since. Now my wife has been buggin me to get a new car but i just didnt want any car. I wanted a 2008 TL type-s 6spd. I Looked for a very long time and this past weekend i finally had a chance to get it. So my wife and I took a 4hr drive through the mountains of Colorado to the front range of Colorado, stopped by the Acura dealership and picked that black baby up! I am now the proud owner of a 2008 TL type-s 6spd!!!! And I couldn't be happier!
Congrats!

Congrats on the new car, enjoy!
Nice setup there, just picked up a 08 Type S myself. Currently have a 03 Civic which I'm replacing with the TL and I also have a 02 954RR and 08 1000RR. Kinda of a Honda guy myself!

congrats on picking up a 6 speed and welcome! that was what I wanted when I bought mine new, but no luck since there was no more new ones in the tri-state so I bought the last a/t one at the dealer...
congrats on the type-s purchase

To be honest with you I haven’t even driven the Type S yet, waiting to sell my Civic first. The 1000RR is pretty scary when you open her up. 
Currently selling my 954 and will probably sell the 1000 next year and get a 600. With all the new crazy laws here and very little time to ride it doesn't make sense for me to have a 1000cc bike.

I'm sort of like you! First car purchased myself was an RSX-S. Now got a TL-S. I have an Aprilia Tuono, but I have an affinity to Honda bikes as well. I remember my 05 600rr as being such a great ride. Smooth engine, great handling, loved it. Tuono is a much different beast. I plan to get another Honda bike one day.
