San Francisco TL Owners Gathering Feedback


Just got back from what turned out to be a great sunny day (rare) gathering here in San Francisco.

Wow we had nineteen (19-1/2 for our 10mos old model) individuals that showed up and roughly 14(?) cars...thanks to all.

Things I liked:

Jerky's set up, I must say you have most of the gadgets I want.
1. Navi/DVD conversion from AV Electronics (I am sold on this one)
2. Clear Bra is awesome (Will definitely get this one first)
3. A-spec set up with "Dark Chrome" looks better in person than in picture (Will definitely purchase when I get my bonus).
4. Rear Lips spoiler

Moelester, thanks for the License plate frame
1. I like the painted front grill, (looks like XJR concept) we will post pics soon.



Thanks to everyone who attended:

1. For the person I forgot to list...thank you
2. Jerky with the homies
3. Rick and borther in-law with a first gen 90 Acura Legend Coupe
4. SilverTL6
5. gochan , friend or cousin - Dude you missed a great meeting!!!!
6. Moe Lester w/ Girlfriend -the painted grill rocks!!! and thank for the frame (again)
7. Tyler
8. Spooky3ce (Wife/lil'bro/maybe a girl for jatt) - All the way from Salinas Glad you joined us.
9. Moelester
10. Ronnie0738 - I like how you converted you TL to C32 AMG..it Rockcs!!!
11. Klepto your CL rocks!!!
12. V6Power - Front grille so cool my friend
13. Researchfreak - Redondo Red is awesome!!! (Alex - that is you future ride, dont forget the DVD conversion)
14. The NBP owner - (Dude sorry forgot you screen name) I wanted that color but went with WPD. (easier to clean)

I appologize if I missed anybody, there were so many of us please sign in.

Please post the pics (whoever took digital shots)

Klepto - nonsense!! Your car is cool....I like the Visor Video and the front grill

Wow, we had a great day! It really was beautiful in SF! Good Call NeoRick! Everyone was so nice, and even though I was the ONLY girl TL owner there, you all made me feel comfortable. So, let me think,... I was the ONLY girl, I had the ONLY 05 out there, I was the ONLY one over 40 (probably the only one over 30 cuz I think Rick lied about his age!) and I had the ONLY red TL! I have never been so different in my life!

Thanks to everyone for coming out and making this such a nice day!

Great pictures KlepTo! Jerky, where are your pics?

Good feedback!!! Glad you and your family enjoyed the meeting.

LOL...I am really 40 (just colored my hair). My real B-day is 8/31/1964. Bought my car on 08/31/2004 as my 40th B-day present.

And BTW, Alex is already trying to figure out how he can earn the money for that DVD conversion Jerky! Thanks?

Actually now that I had a chance to see Jerky's set up, I am glad that I did not bring my kids. They will keep on nagging me to get the DVD conversion so they can play their play station.

Hey, we talked a bit about gas mileage today. I thought I'd let you know that I reset my computer when we got onto 280 South today on the way home. I had the cruise set at 67 and was getting super mileage! For a while it was 45 MPG! By the time we got home the average mileage was 35. Not bad mileage! The window sticker said I'd get 29 mpg on the highway....

Great Meet everyone!!!

Well here are the pics we took... Thanks to my bro that took some cool pics of the FAST white CL... lol... I think he is thinking of selling his 96 GMC Jimmy and getting himself one... see what you done... lol...

Sorry, the pics are a bit of low quality... my 3.1 Mega Pixel Kodak camera takes good pics but the program it came with doesn't re-size pics... sooo, i'm using a crappy Free Re-sizeing program... Better than nothing eh??? lol... Hope you all like...









This picture proves the street cleaning fine someone got on this forum...











Beautiful Day in SF...

i dont know, but that part was pretty funny. For the ppl that werent there...like RIGHT when we all rolled up to the spot to take pics there was like a bunch of fixed up rsx's, a prelude and an accord. we all rolled up and parked and we were all facing them, then they all just revved their engines and left

Jerky - thanks for that impromptu drag race at the stop sign. You completely caught me off guard and smoked the crap outta me. I'm just gonna have to get my revenge next time

And thanks (non-sarcastically) to everyone else that showed up ... it was good to finally meet other TL enthusiasts.

Here's some profile shots I took (56k and 15" monitor warning), since it looks like we already have enough group shots ...
