I love the fisheye look. I always want to take out my cell phone and take a picture of the reflection before the light turns green.

I don't think you comprehend what I am trying to say. All of these posts are relevant to obsessing over your car in general, nothing specific to the 3G TL.

Btw, you're is a contraction for you are.
Example: You're beautiful when I have beer goggles on; you're not beautiful when I am sober.

Your is a possessive word; here is an example. Your wheels compliment the color of your car very well.

I know i'm not an idiot but I think you are.
What you MEANT to say was "You're not an idiot."
If you're going to insult me at least do it right

Grammar nazi FTW. And I would say about half of it is general car obsession, but there's plenty of posts that are 3G TL specific.

another funny thing is, around where i live(edmonton, alberta) most of the time that i scope out at other tl's, i am embaressed to see that it's an *older female driving the tl and it's a type s ( i drive a base tl).

1.) You know you love your 3G when you say it to someone and they tell you the iphone sucks and you avoid a iphone vs. droid argument and change the subject to your car.

2.) You know you love your 3G when the time it takes to warm up your car, you take a look at the interior and admire how great it is.

3.) You know you love your 3g when you roll down all your windows while driving and use a microfiber cloth to wipe all the little dust off the dash and consoles.

you know you drive a 3g when you are driving at dusk you only drive with the ambers on just so your side markers are lit up...I LOVE MY SIDE MARKERS so sexy and so unique can spot out a 3g from a million miles away at night

you know you drive a 3g when you wait till the last min to turn on your HIDS cause your respect that you got them stock :-) or you are the first person sitting in a redlight and people sitting at the same intersection have HIDS but dont have any projectors. You turn on your projectors and smile and show them TRUE HIDS are suppose to look

You know when you drive a J&R 3G TL when you hear the snail burp.

At this point, I don't need more power until I get some better sneakers.

^Too much rain up here for those. I have a set of Aspec's in the basement, trying to decide on a tire that is decent in the rain but good on traction. I torque steer like a drunk at just 7lbs of boost.

I'm interested in your choice of tire. Let us know!!!

with the NT05, Torque steer with about 245hp to the front wheels is non-existent.
wondering how well it would fare with your power.

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.

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

I agree with all of these...haha

Yeah it's more of a car enthusiast thing nothing to do with the TL. I am however guilty of all this though and even been known to look at the reflection of my car in the side of shiny tanker trucks lol
I have also glanced at chrome wheels of others cars or 18 wheelers with nice wheels that I can see my reflection in haha.

You know you drive a TL when...

...you see RSX's and TSX's and imagine that they're the little brother cars to your car

...you see another 3G TL approaching in the opposite lane and admire the front of the vehicle thinking 'wow thats a nice car... oh wait, I have the same one! sweet!!'

This should really be in Car Talk, since it would pertain to any kind of car, not just the 3G TL. Even the OP got it from two different forums.
