You Know You Drive a 3G TL when...

I see this on the BMW/Lexus forums.

I start off.

You know you drive a 3G TL when you park far away to avoid door dings.

When you look into the glass walls of buildings while driving and smile.

BMW/Lexus forums talk about MPG....lets stop talking about MPG on the Acura forums because I am "imitating" them.

Get a life dude.

I did both of those very things today. I had my parents with me and they asked why I parked so far away from the Home Dept entrance. I gave them a look and they understood.

You know you drive a 3G TL when you can feel how much better it runs right after it has been washed/cleaned.

When most of the 3G TL's that you spot are mostly stock making you stick out of the 3G TL crowd & when those Civics/Integras see your car. They eye-ball it crazy & do fly by's.

Also when you go pump gas & both older/younger people come up to you & say: nice car.

When you see a G35 and you're happy that you didnt venture into buying one.

When you paid less for your TL than a new Honda Fit (yea yea, warranty w/e but hell of a lot more car in the TL).

When you look over into the TL next to you and it's a middle aged dude/dudette.

haha so true. Honestly, I've never been so anal with a car as I have been with the TL. I suppose I expect more out of it than I actually should. I really do love this car though.

When you constantly watch your RPM gauge to make sure your AT is shifting properly,

and if it ever shifts funny going downhill, you have a heart attack.
