The car was an 04 6 speed that the previous owner did all the a-spec upgrades to.

I'm convinced the a TL area has more than average numbers, I have 3 others in my company parking lot and there are only 400 people here, hell only Gen 1 G35 and no G2 G35s, and at least 1 or 2 G2 TLs ars well. A very popular car here!

Hell if we had just a Cob County owners meet we would have a large crowd!

I see TLs as often as I see Civics in ATL...Especially in the Buckhead and Perimeter areas...it almost forces you to start modding...

I used to live on Johnson Ferry, apt complex right across the street from the park, on same side as Chevron and McDonalds.

I live in Dunwoody now

All these ATL Acura owners and I only see a few that actually come out to our meets. Out of the people who have posted here, I've only met 4. Hopefully that'll change.

And welcome aboard! I'm in Sandy Springs.

I live near Emory but work at Cobb Galleria area. Will be moving closer to work next year.

I see 3G TL's all over the place in ATL. They're everywhere! Who cares... I still love the car and after researching other models, I feel it is the best fit for me. I was previously considering G35 coupe, BMW 3 series, or an 08 Accord coupe.

btw- I want to convert my navi screen to play DVDs. Who here in Atlanta has had that done? About how many dollas will this set me back? Anyone know?

Thanks!

^ Check the Audio, Bluetooth, Electronics & Navigation sub-forum. Do a search for Navi to DVD conversion and you'll get tons of threads on how to DIY.

Hey Vic! I haven't seen you since The Stone Mountain Meet. Welcome to our new ATLien and to everyone else, keep your eyes on the meets forum and lets get our community up and running. It looks like we have more than enough people to get some big meets going, I am with Ty, it felt like only a grassroots type of thing was going on here in Georgia...

Hey - I'm in the Kennesaw Mtn area off of Barrett Pkwy. I had an 06 with the Aspec wheels that was stolen from Sandy Springs - mostly b/c they wanted the wheels. Be careful where you park that car! I've since upgraded to an 07 TL-S.

Welcome to the club!

Yes, but my car didn't require it.

It was $220 w/o and would have been $260 w/. I paid cash so he didn't charge me tax. They also do car and home audo so their waiting room is a home theatre demo room. I watched cars on thier plasma w/ the surround cranked..

2 guys worked on my car at the same time and i was out of there in less than two hours..
