Who Does This!!!!!!

So I pull in to my townhome parking lot and notice that my neighbor has just purchased an 04 Blue Auto TL. I have an NBP. Is this normal? At least she does not have the ASPEC rims or 6MT. But seriously, doent this go against the neighbor rule??? It parks right next to me. Should i be pissed or am i being stupid.

I would take it as a compliment to my good taste, but she should have got the same color and mods to really make the compliment a true one.

I vote for stupid. Sounds like she has the same great taste as do you. Compliment her on her choice and compare notes. So WHAT if she's parked next to you all the time. You didn't buy a $200K vanquish, you bought a common Honda. Live with it and try to grow up!

maybe she wants to get closer to you


wash your car & take a picture of both cars to see the comparison...

If you want to get back at her, get the Ron J body kit!

i would just get over it. honda is pumping a ton of TLs.
it will only get worse. you have to remember, the car maker is making this
to make money. it is a popular car. you will see a bunch more as time passes.

if you wanted a car that is very unique, you should have gotten a different car.
maybe the Elise....=)

Same thing with my neighbor. She got a TL just 2 weeks after i did. Same color combo too - NBP/Ebony. She's prob in her thirties, but i wouldn't mind hitting it.

Off topic - A few days ago i saw a TL on the highway, so i downshifted to get into vtec, pulled up next to it, and found out it was an 80yr old lady. What a damn shame. It's probably her son's/daughter's car, hopefully. I almost hit a tree because i lost conciousness for a few moments after seeing that.

Also - I just got back from upstate, mahopac. If any of you new yorkers want to let your TL rip, that is the place to go. Not on the highway, but on the sidestreets. I was going 80-120 in a 40mph zone, and was taking 30mph curves at 80mph. I never had more fun driving in my life, it was so relaxing, yet fun. Lots of twisty roads but also long straightaways. Had my highbeams on so i could see miles down, to make sure theres no cars/cops. I have ot invest in radar detector, but am running low on cash, have to pay 8k(16k if i didn't get a scholarship) for my 2nd semester in university.

I could see a neighbor buying the same car, but the same color?
And especially a less-common TL color like blue!

There's no point in being pissed because there's nothing you can do about it but it would annoy me.

So Acura should have stopped production after you bought your car? Why is that? I wish everyone had a TL. They should all get to enjoy the pleasure of driving it. I also enjoy seeing them on the road while driving. That way I get to experience the comfortable interior and see the beautiful exterior at the same time.

... or be happy that the owner of that TL wont fling their door open to ding yours... and you wont either. heck, get your neighbor on the other side to get a TL then yours is fully protected.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery

It can be a little annoying but, let's face it - keying is for 13 year olds

Well, yesterday I was coming home and turning the corner to my house and .... YES...

There it was, another silver TL waiting at the stop sign to turn. I looked in the mirror and saw them sitting there a bit longer than normal... I know they did not have one first as mine is now over 1 year old!!! Great car, so I can not complain that someone else wants to buy.

If you want exclusivity, don't buy a mass-produced car. Acura will make as many TL's as people are willing to buy. The Odyssey and MDX were in short supply. Acura's response was to build a brand new factory in less than a year - no more short supply. Just enjoy your car.

I would take it as a sign of flattery, all of my neighbors have admired my TL but have yet to actually go out and buy one, however, many of them have been to the dealer to check it out.

I found this funny for some reason.

Enjoy your car, don't worry about it. They probably like it for the same reasons you do. Nothing wrong with that...

Don't stress... You "hang out" with all of us fellow TL pilots... You can't sweat that one just so happens to live next to you...

Think about it... What is more cool...

One F22 on the tarmac... Or 2 next to each other?
