What's your other car??

I tried to do a search and see if there was another thread like this but couldn't find any...

For those that have another automobile besides their TL , what is it? even if it's your wife's it counts as long as you drive it too

My wife just went to extremes. We had a Ford Expedition, but since i got the '05 TL, she decided to trade in the Exp for a 2002 Mercedes SLK 230!

Actually the TL is the wifes, my car was a 350Z but it had an unfortunate encounter with a tree so I'm back to my 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's soon to be replaced by an '06 G35C.

This was my previous car. She was really great to me.





I had A8 wheels, A8 brakes, e-code projectors w/ xenon, H&R Coilovers, and other minor tweaks.

I traded her in for the my TL.

I miss my driving my Audi, but not in general.

My audi w/ coilover handles very well on dry pavement, non-stoppable w/ snow tires in winter.

TL has a lot more power but I am still learning how to deal with the torque steer.

Interior-wise the Audi and the Acura are on par, but considering Audi was 7 years old. Audi definitely had an edge there.

There are two reasons why I got rid of the Audi - maintenance/repair and resale value. In these areas Audi really blows.

We had a Acura Lengend in the family before and it was both reliable and held it's value well. I hope the same will be true for my TL.

The wife has an 02 Chrysler PT Cruiser which she loves. It's an amazingly solid little car; just not my style.

01 Chrysler PT Cruiser, Silver with dimpled chrome wheels, only the first 30,000 made have these wheels. Fun to drive, holds the road real well , a lot of bottom weight. Easy to park and get in and out of. The only thing that Im disappointed with is the gas mileage 20-22 around town, 26-27 hwy. AT 3180lbs. ( A lot of weight for a 14 foot car) but only 150hp Im always on the gas.

Sorry to all you Lakers fans, but the Clipps are now the best team in LA. Elton Brand is BEAST this year.
Lakers fans can thank GM Bryant for their horrible record hahahaha.

We are an all-Honda household. The wifemobile is a Naples Gold 2001 Accord EX I4, no mods. Which is why I don't drive it or have any pics of it. I offered to trade it for a TSX because she likes the luxury of my TL (and so I can drive it, love the TSX too.... ), but she won't hear anything of it because she really loves her car.

My other car is Old Reliable, a '93 Honda Accord LX-A with 127,000 miles. I picked it up two years ago with 89,000 miles on it. His name is Henry. He's presently in the garage awaiting delivery of a new radiator, installation of a CV axle and new brake rotors.

I'm terrified of what it's going to take to change those rotors, because of the infamous hub over rotor design. So, my Acura, Sanaa, has been getting a lot more drive time. But, Henry will be back soon. You can count on it!
