WDP vs NBP

During my lunch break today, I drove onto the highway with the TL-S WDP and to my sight, I spot a fellow TL-S NBP. Due to construction, there were only two lanes and I pulled up to see the driver.

Our eyes met and we both nodded because of each others great taste for cars. All of a sudden he hits the gas and shoots from 45 to 80. The lanes were too tight so I did not bother catching up.

As I can recall, when do TL-S run each other. Aren't we suppose to embrace each other's presence and acknowledge some type of camaraderie?

for the most part, the only people that really feel that camaraderie and have pride in their TLs are those of us on this forum, and that is only a very small percentage of Acura owners...bottom line, don't expect a lot of love from random TL drivers on the street.

Maybe he was trying to play, and you were the typical TL driver who didn't join in.

I agree with chill dog, you should have played around a bit. It's now 353pm EST. How long do you think before darksom shows up?

NPB or WDP, NBP or WDP....

NPB owners, PLEASE stop with this NBP obsession It's unhealthy, lol.

Back to the thread, we need to have AcuraZine stickers or banner on our cars, or even license plates frames. This will not only be fun but productive, I'm down for a license plate frame!

+1 for the decals. BTW I love both WDP and NBP! Each has its share of pluses and minuses.

haha. i have had a ton of fellow tl-s drivers try to race (not play) me and i dont get it, do they think their tls is any faster than my tls?

i like the ones that try to play, its a good rush hittin a 100 for a bit.

a little off topic but i saw a CL-S and an integra "playing" last night, the funny thing was that the CL-S was nice and clean, looked like the owner took care of it and the integra was pretty old with a non-fitting body kit and primer'd body. i would have "played" with them, but i was moving out of my apartment so i had our 1994 dodge grand caravan le and i didnt want to show either one of them up

Actually if you go an extra mile to take care of your car, 93 octane at Chevron, Synthetic oil, keep up w/ maintenance schedule, etc. and the other TLS driver doesn't do any of those things, I would think your car would be faster.

What if it's a TL driven by a drunk who had stolen the car and is attempting to escape the cops?

its so hard to gauge what the other driver is thinking, of course you would love to "play around" but u also dont want to come off as a jerk, thats why i second the thought of acurazine plates for "us". it would be great....

No need to be overly concerned. It's a well documented inferiority complex rapidly spreading among non-WDP owners The only known cure is to trade up to a WDP.

It's like similar poles of a magnet. He did not hit the gas to signal playtime, but to get away from you.

WDP <--------> NBP like cats n dogs.

I think he got smoked by the naturally faster NBP, its all in how the light is absorbed and channelled thru the engine, pure physsics, he just tried to excuse himself.






jking, jking, I personally have NBP and I hate it, swirl marks galore in the NE.

In my 2G NBP, I waxed, clayed and cleaned almost every week, when it is clean it is the sexiest color out there. But with all the fingerprints and swirl marks maintenance drove me wild. Thus WDP is beautiful and easier to maintain. Yes, I'll admit, I became a lazy bastard!

I actually have an "AcuraZine" 3rd brake light. I had it made obviously with the consent of the admin. I'm just not one who wants to go around putting stickers on my car, and as much as I love the site for the inspiration it has given me, I just can't stomach stickers on my car lol.

I don't want stickers either, I think a license plate frame will be best.

I actually want rear quater window stickers.

But I dare someone to rock a giant AcuraZine.com decal on the side of their car. LOL
And it has to say "NBP REPRESENT" if your car is NBP and "WDP REPRESENT" if your car is WDP. LOLLL
