Two-Tone TL spotted in B'ham area

Going home the other night and coming down Argo-Margarett Road is a sweet two tone 3rd gen TL. It was night but it was either dark blue or black on top with a high body seperation to silver at the bottom. Dark wheels probably 19's. Just seeing if they were on this forum, and to say great looking car!!

I'm pretty sure there's much more TLers out there.
2 of my coworkers drive them (both had A-Spec kits installed). I bought a Type-S 2 months ago. Surprisingly, I found 2 TL Type-S's as I was getting off from work. 1 silver and 1 dark red. I know for a fact that the owner of the silver one works at the same place as I do.

At one point we were driving right after another. But I got on I-20W. Both TLs kept on going towards Pell City on US-78.

I gotta meet up with you sometime type-s09. Looked at your video on the other post. I don't plan on racing with my TL, but it surely looks interesting. My NSX friend would have loved that kind of event though.

Keep me posted on any events coming up. When I get some free time, I'll come down/up with my NSX friend and see what's up.

That is funny. I take 20E/W everyday. I travel from Calera up to Leeds for work. Last week a dark red TLS pulled next to me. That is the only TLS I have seen so far. There are 4 other TL's in my subdivision, I am the only TLS.

Bracket racing sounds interesting. I haven't done that in 12 years, back in the day in Englishtown, NJ in the old Saleen.

What does a bone stock TLS do in the 1/4 mile? would it be in the under 14.99?

Just saw this thread and wanted to check in- another Birmingham TL'er.

2004 Silver- When I first got the car, you would never see any TL's on the road in Birmingham, but today, they are all over the place!
