New Guy '08 TL

Hello everyone!

Just purchased my first tl. 2008 TL White w/ navi. All my cars have been manual but i had to settle for automatic with this one since i could not find a clean TLS

Anywho little car history

2002-2005/ 1998 Civic Hatchback Silver "stolen"
2005-2007/ 2005 Mitsubishi Evolution 8 RS White "sold, lost my job"
2007-2014/ 1996 Honda Civic Hatchback Silver "sold to buy the TL"
2014-Present/ 2008 Acura TL white

So i hope to meet some of you guys/ gals.


Future plans for the TL: minor mods interior and exterior but i have a few things in my pocket


Thanks!

Welcome. Great color choice (I have an 08 WDP TL as well).

Just curious...what color is your interior?

Welcome. The autos are a compromise, but they're not terrible. Change your pressure switches when you service the tranny next.

Congrats on the 08 WDP TL/nav. Nice color. I used to have a 08 WDP TL-S but had to get rid of it. Now drive a 08 CBP TL-S. Welcome to AZ!!
