Smile Newbie :)

Hi there,

I just purchased an 08 TL w/Navi last week and love everything about it. I love the space that this car has, unlike my 05 TSX prior to this vehicle. Don't get me wrong, I loved my TSX but it didn't have the power handling that I was looking for.

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself to you guys. Thanks for any suggestions or words of wisdoms you'd like to share with me...

PS. Don't you love the stares people give you when you're in the TL?

I just traded in an 05 TSX as well for a TL. Best decision I've ever made in a car. I too loved my TSX but the TL just buries it in so many ways!

Nighthawk Black with Ebony interior. Black on Black for short

Let her talk to me. I'll tell her all the benefits of being a girl and owning a TL. LOL.

Congrats on the upgrade. Former TSX owner here too. Power and comfort are the differences, but don't forget the cool gadgets in this car.

I like to offer you this advice since you bought your TL brand spanking new: Clear bra your front end asap if you want to keep that brand new look.

I'm a newbie, too. Just got the oposite of yours, a white '07 Base model (certified) with light tan interior. I love the looks and since I'm in the South the color should help with our hot summers. If it were not for the climate I'd have seriously considered black.

LOL. I'm not against White at all becuz it's one of my favorite colors. I'd always tell my friends, I'll only have White, Blue or Black cars in this lifetime and that's what I've had. I used to own a White Car, Blue Car, Black Car and now I'm back to Black again. Either way, it could've been one or the other so I love em both!

Here are some pics of my car I took yesterday. I had to wait for the rain to go away and wait after it's wash first. Would I do any modification? I dont know. I like it just the way it is, plus I'm a girl











As far as a picture of me, you can check out my MySpace instead. LOL.

Buggy, I was about to welcome you, then I realized that you have twice as many posts as I have. You can welcome ME.

Oh yeah, Black-on-Black is not a crime. I went with it, too. Just got a S over here in Boston.

.ll.

Buggy? That's different. LOL. WELCOME TIMMY!

How's the weather over there in Boston? Doesn't it suck to drive in a nice TL in that kind of weather? Move to Cali or something

I am quite jealous of the speedo and odo guages in the dash though, I'm gonna have to step my game up from the 04

enjoy the new ride, and looks you get while showing it off around town!

There are so many options...I started inside with iPod integration (DICE Kit) and a CF steering wheel (more CF to follow). But Tail lights are a good and economical way to start. My very next mod will probably be a cold air filter...more power and sexier engine revs

Oh, and BTW...your myspace pic is sumthin sexy, nothing like a sexy girl pushin a sexy car!
