San Francisco is a great city, the place that you are seeing is not well known to the tourist (we kinda like to keep some of our great spot to ourselves).

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

ahhh, sheet, I was just playing with you, you would have tore me, as you have six speed...and i had two 180 pound passengers, and auto matic...

yes, we should run them next time, i wanna see exactly how different the 6 to 5 speed performance is...

I go there all the time, its way too small, and big busses and tourists are always in the way...

not to mention tricky entrance and exit signs and ramps...

Perhaps if there is no game, we could meet at PacBell Park (there should be little activity near the park this time of year!)

Hi, what is your name? I bought my TL at Marin Acura...Michael and David treated me very well. I bought WPD/5AT/NAVI Last August 31, 2004.

I wish that Bay Area Dealers would give us better deals with parts & accessories, your competitors (Falconi Acura of LV & a Dealer in So.Cal.) they are getting our business. See comment below.


P.S. Say hi to David Woods from Rick G. (04TL WPD/5AT/Navi) formerly of SKYY Vodka.

The day of the internet is among us, there is a paradigm shift in the way businesses must compete and grow!

consumers are well educated, communicate amongst each other, and will accept multiple bids making large purchases.

The already crowded Acura dealer marketing in bay area (at least 3 within minutes of each other in south bay) must stay competitive in service, pricing, and parts. Now bay area dealers have to compete with nationwide dealers and aftermarket vendors.

Information has changed the way consumers act, behave, and purchase.

In summary, if you want to survive and thrive, you must adjust to meet market changes. In business, the only thing 'constant' is 'change.'

Believe me, we're waiting for a dealer to really take the charge, we will FLOOD to the dealer that wants these members business.

ok. ill shut up now, just trying to help any dealer managers take an opportunity and run with it

Our first meet had about 12 Acura car owners and few that could not make it because of scheduling conflict. This is our first meet and as you can see we all checked each others ride. I am already considering the following purchase:

1. Black chrome A-spec Rims
2. Rear Lip spoiler
3. A-spec suspension

What is the best quote that you can give me?

If you can get us a better deal (compared to the internet) the likes of those other Acura Dealer outside of the Bay Area.

How about hosting a Meet at your dealership? Or maybe represent your Delearship at one of our meet...I think you can make a lot of money on us(considering you give us a good deal).

Oh that's funny! I finally got on to check out the photos (Mrs. RF has logged) and had a good laugh with that one. The interior? didn't seem up to Acura's standards. I think we'll stay with the '05 TL. Great photos, great day! Next time we won't forget our camera.

Ok since I'm also on clubrsx.com, I saw a thread which had pics of a "Private SF Meet", and the pics they took were from the same place! I guess those were ClubRSX'ers. What a coincidence!
