Nothing personal. I think I said in one post I admire your consistency.

I just find it amusing that you would make a post at 3:26 and 27 in the same thread.

The triple post was awesome!

You are still well behind BlackShadow...

What's the deal with the ride and drives? Can anyone show up and actually test drive the car? Are there typical hours they are open across all locations? Getting to drive the car ~2 weeks ahead of when my dealer would have one would be awesome.

ITs for dealers but if you get lucky they might let you.. Ask MaddTL as he got to drive it without being in anyway connected with Honda/Acura, LUCKY BASTARD!

Test drove...plus I got a really cool black TL hat and Acura bag..the bag has a liner for hot and cold stuff. It matches my car perfect, now if I can only decide on which car I'm getting.

My recommendation is to dress up a little, look like a salesman and know your stuff. Be very humble and tell them what they want to hear. say your a website, doing an article...they be more than helpful and show you everything about the car. They had a car inside th hotel at Rye Brook, which you can sit in and for as long a you want. It's probably the same guys, all of them were really helpful...too bad I knew more about the car then they did.

TL in DC

I would go to the 9/25 showing, but the hotel for DC (Pier 5 Hotel) is in Baltimore, not Washington, DC.

Just a thought....dont take pics that we have already scene....try and take pictures of the things we cant see in the brochure and get some shots of the details up close that make this car different.... i forgot to get a close up shot of the side markers.
