Thank The Lord-Most TL and TSX Owners are Women!
I recently read a post on AZ that prompted me to chime in on a subject that I has been rolling around in my noodle for a couple years. At first I was discouraged by the fact so many women who are presumably uninterested in modding driving cars that I specialize in. But it gives us a plan for the future, and an opportunity now, to develop further our HT-Spec Program!

Of course this is mostly a guess as I can only report on what I see; females that could either be my kid’s mom, or my mom. Unless my eyes betray me, 49 out of 50 cars were hipped with an auto trans and were sold to women.
“Excuse me ma’am, would you like to supercharge your TL? How about a lip kit? I’ve got a J-Pipe that will open your exhaust up!” *SMACK!*
Ok, so that is not going to go over well.

It's a good thing the TL is strong in these points that matter to a woman, because if not my wife would not have let me buy it!! It gives us Husbands some negotiating room.
i've seen most girls/women driving TSXs

i see (pass) one girl in an AM TL with a-spec rims, but i spent considerable time checking her, uh, it out and it's not an a-spec 
i would say at least 60-70% of TL drivers i see are women, and i would say that most women dig the car. in fact, i got my mine from some chick who apparently decided she wanted "a white one"...

actually i said that wrong - she traded it in for a "white one" at the dealer, i got it before it hit the lot, and the only reason i know is because she neglected to erase her name and home address out of the NAV system 
and the used car salesman blabbed more than he should have...
was very tempted to show up in her driveway

We have about 110 people at our main office. I've noticed 5 3gs in the parking lot. I'm the only guy and the only visibly modded one. I ended up following one of the girls to get a drink after work. I'm behind her TL and talking to her on the phone and I said that's a nice ass. She was like 
and I was like don't flatter yourself, I'm talking about the car. It kind of sucks being the only guy driving one.

Great thread!! I'm suprise so many of you don't see more men driving the TL. Here in NJ, I see a ton of guys driving 3G TLs in the majority in fact. The only women I see driving 3Gs are one that are white exterior. Any other color I've seen mostly guys behind the wheel.
Now the TSX is another story. I've seen primarily women behind the wheel of those.

I'm a girl and I own and sell TL's. Not that I don't want to mod my car but I never own them for that long anyways and the amount of money I have to spend on my own maintenance (nails, tanning, clothing) does not provide a lot of extra funds for mods.
