Or when they look at you and realize how much nicer your car looks and the money they could have saved.

This is the reason I bought a 3G over the 4G. There aren't very many cars on the road that you can walk away and say "Damn, that's tight" every single day!

^looks are subjective. I find the 4g appealing.
and I'm sure when they park they look at their car as well and say "damn, thats tight" every single day.

^^^You're right, I actually like the 4G rear and think certain design elements of the 4G are extraordinary. I also prefer the 3G with OEM/Aspec kit. I don't know about the "every single day" comment on the 4G though...

Even subjectivity is subjective.

You know you drive a 3G TL when you dont even know a mechanic by a first name basis. I never had an major issue with any honda I have owned. My neighbor was talking about the good/long relationship he has had with his mechanic and it got me thinking. I would not even know who to take my car to if I did have a major issue. Gotta love them honda's!

so true, omg i've done all of these.

You know you're a 3G TL owner when you're driving between or next to car you keep looking at it to make sure they don't scratch yours.

you know you're a 3G TL owner when you take the most trafficking area of people to cruise by so that they can look at it lol.

You know you're a 3G TL owner when you leave your car parked in the same spot for a long period of time and you have already checked it twice the same day.

You know you're a 3G TL owner when the first thought you thought of when you first purchased your car was a bumper guard and some dark tints on.

you drive at 3G TL when you creep up behind the car in front of you so you can see the reflection of your car in their bumper, especially if you have modded headlights

You know you drive a 3G TL when...

You stop at a stop light, and another lesser or equal car next to you stops behind you about 1/2 car and not completed at the stop light. And thoughts run through your head "Is he admiring my mods, my sick ATLP? or my rims, I bet he's admiring the drop I got" or

"He's afraid to race me"

You know you drive a 3g when you have your desktop background of another 3g member on your computer.

You know own a 3g when you stare down another 3g on the road wondering what mods it may have and then get bummed when you see its an older person driving it.

You know you drive a 3G TL when you find yourself looking for your old cassette tapes to listen to in the car. A tape deck in a 2008 car? Really? What's up with that? LOL.

haha got nothing against you guys.

Its just when I see a TL and look want to wave and ask if they're on Azine he/she looks like they could care less.

I did see one lady driving a clean WDP on the 5-N with a full A-Spec kit. Looked legit. i doubt she's on here though.
