New...Member and car!

Yesterday marked my 15th day with acurazine.. Yesterday also marked the day I bought my 2007 TL-S! ASM, two tone interior with 36,650 miles. Pretty much my dream car. I haven't taken any pics my self of the car but here are some from the dealership I bought it from







I'll be taking it with me on a small vacation later on today. Gotta say, it is a completely different animal than what I am used but it is AWESOME!

Welcome, nice choice! Be prepared to open your wallet if you stick around here too often.

Edit: Damn that ASM looks like WDP in that white, bright room! Lol

Took a while to get the dealer down to $23,700 all said and done, taxes, title and all other fees got me to just under $25,800. Ha yea wallet is going to be cracked open just a bit for now, it'll open fully for sure though as time passes.

My apologies guys. I can't figure out how to do multiple responses on one post on an iPhone (as in putting multiple quotes on one post if tht makes sense)

Steven Bell, will do man

TrixR4kidz, my daily driver before the TL-S was an '02 Tahoe Z71

This was my first vehicle, it is paid for and i have no desire whatsoever to sell it. I kept it as a back and to get me to places that the TL-S might not be suited for.

The TL-S is in pretty good shape. Being 5 yrs old, there is a few small rock chips on the bottom bumper which were touched up. That and the back of the driver seat is, seems to be, broken loose. Other than that the car is very very clean and well kept

Yes I will be keeping the truck. It was my dream truck. Gas mileage and 34" tires just wasn't cutting the highway mileage I had to commute everyday so I said heck. Looks like its time for my dream car and just use the Z71 when ever needed

Ha yea that's precisely where I found this baby. They had sold that Mrp TL-S u showed me just a couple of hours before I was going to go take a look at it. Kind of glad they did. So far, I've put roughly 4-5 hundred miles on it and I by no means missing the mpg from the truck lol

I got my Type S in Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 , the tire is good at griping and quite which turn out nice, however the set seem wear out faster than Bridgestone and the price tag for it. For 4 tires it will cost you about $960 without shipping yet. I am thinking getting Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS Pole Position instead.

Mine came with 3 pilot hx mxm4 and one primacy mxm4. Dealer refused to match the last tire so I'm guessing those tires were already on the car when they got it. I didn't think it Would make much of a difference so I let it go. They all have very good tread

Nice Type-S! The black interior is pretty slick.

I've had the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position on my '06 Base 5AT and I love them - the grip is phenomenal and the ride is pretty quiet and comfy. I had them on my previous car, a '99 mk4 Jetta.

Do tell. What would mid-muffler delete do? Does that have anything to do with the j pipe I've heard about? Sorry for newb question. Right after vacation I started up work again and I'll be doing night shifts after today so I haven't had much time to look up many mods
