i was wondering if my tl needs to break in before you can accelerate it faster?
and if it does how many miles?
Also my friend told me that its good to floor your car sometimes is that true?
i've been taking car of this car very carefully, and i don't want to do any damage to it
thanks for your help

 

600 miles then floor itttttttttt...its under warranty anyways!

 

The manual says 500 or 600 miles I think...or that is what my dealer told me. I am keeping mine under 4 grand RPM's, and after 600 or so, I'm gonna let it rip

 

manual should say somewhere around 600ish, i break in my 07 S2000 that way and gonna do that to my 08 TL Type S as well. And yes running your car through redline sometime is fine, its actually good to flush away all the carbon deposits sits in your engine.

 

cool thanks for the advice

 

check your owner manual for this info and other very helpful things to know-
like how the ABS and TCS work on your car-
it has a mind of its own and better you make friends with it now than discover it on the freeway in an icy situation

 

Mine hit 600 today on the highway and I finally hit it a bit. Still taking a bit easy until I get to around 1000, just a personal choice I guess.

Regardless, I <3 this car

I got it up to 90 and it didn't even feel like I was going that fast!

 

Haven't we gone over this with you before AutumnFalls?? It is your dad's car, why do you keep posting questions as if it is yours???

lol owned.

 

... wow that was like 2 months ago. and my parents told me that i have to take care of it now, and i currently drive this car to school, etc. with their permission. Jeez just asking a question . Why are some of these people in these forums so annoying... Get a life

 

WOW! You're right, I should get a life... Or I could work to pay for my own TL instead of driving my daddy's. Oh That's right, I DO!!

 

after the mid says get an oil change... about 5miles after you get that oil change you will see how she drives...

ps. actros (fellow acurazine member's theory... after 10k miles is that our cars motor really shows its potential)

 

LOL... give the kid a break .... don't we all wish we could have drivren a TL before we went to college?

 

=/ i didnt get my first car until i got out of HS...lol but this is my 4th car atm

 

hey i worked hard to get into a good college, me and my dad made a deal that if i got in, he would get the tl. so don't say i dindt do shit cuz i did work my ass off to get good grades.
thanks shooter for some support

 

manual prob. says 500-600 id wait till like 1k or so. ahaha


as for the 17 having a TL, dont hate man. My parents didnt buy it for me, but still. I worked my ass off working getting enough to get this car. hahah

 

Settle down boy!! I'm not hating. I'm simply stating that it is not your car it is your fathers per your own admission. If it is yours than congrats. You were the one that said it was your dad's so RELAX!!

 

well to me it sounds like ur hating on him

 

Not hating but...

I love how the kids on this forum always justify their parents buying them TL's or buying a TL they can drive because they get good grades and work so hard. That other kid who was asking about trading in his month old TL his parents bought for him for a TL-S tried the same line. Thousands of kids across the nation work their asses off both at work and in school and are lucky to have any car at all, let alone have their parents buy one for them. I graduated high school in '94 with a 3.9 GPA and my ride was a crusty '82 Toyota pickup that I bought with money earned scooping ice cream at B&R. Why can't these kids just admit that they're spoiled and be done with it? Then there'll be no more hating, just jelousy...

 

Agreed!
Homework sure doesn't add up to paying hundreds of dollars a month in a car payment My kid is gonna work for at least half of whatever car he wants and i'll consider paying for the other half if they work hard. A new car for good grades, no way in my book.

 

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

For the "old" or so-called "hard working" people: There are A LOT of people with better circumstances than *most* of us. Some of them get TL's when they are very young, whether they earn them or not. Get over it.

For the "youngsters" or so-called "spoiled": Most people really don't care who you are or how you got your car. Quit trying to justify it, that just brings attention to your good fortune. If you simply act reasonably mature, you'll get treated like everyone else.

 

Thank you and with that being said for the next person who has an opinion on the OP's age, whether or not he is spoiled, blah blah blah- gets a vacation. He started a thread asking a genuine question without being a douche. If you have nothing positive to add- move on.
