alexb92's '07 MRP TL-S
My first Acura was an '06 RRP TL!
Unfortunately, I got rear ended by a careless driver. $14k+ in damages. I knew it'd be totaled when I got out to assess the damage, considering she nailed me going 30-35 without even touching her brakes.
I drove a 2009 TSX afterwards, but there was just something off... it didn't steal my heart. It was like dating a woman you like, but don't love.
Nine months later, I just couldn't take it anymore... Drove 2+ hours to pick this gem up, '07 MRP TL-S, with the black interior. 5AT, but I settled because this was the color combo I really wanted, and it was in mint condition for its age.

I can't get over how gorgeous MRP is! Easily my favorite color... and more than likely the rarest!

Suzuka Master

Yup. The only colours available for the TL-S in Canada were NBP, ASM, WDP & KBP. CBP was oddly only available on the base but not the Type-S. And taupe interior was not available as an option either.

Haven't updated this in a while! I've been doing some maintenance on the car since I got it. I've probably said this a million times before, but Moroccan Red Pearl is so freaking gorgeous!
Anyways, most of the maintenance was up to date, but there were a couple things I wanted to take care of:

Anyways, most of the maintenance was up to date, but there were a couple things I wanted to take care of:
- Replaced the unplugged/dead Hands Free Link module
- Replaced the PCV valve (fix for the occasional "Check Gas Cap" error)
- Replaced the upper transmission mount and passenger side motor mount (both had started to crack)
- Polished and re-cleared the headlights
- New Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires all around
- Replaced both passenger and driver lower seat heater elements (didn't notice these were out until the chilly mornings showed up!)
- 20% tint

How is it that in every pic your car is sooooo shiny!? It's like your car's able to repel dirt...

I couldn't resist, I miss the sound of an intake! It should be here and installed by next week. I had to go with the red to match!

Two years ago, my friend took this picture of my first TL (which got totaled when I got rear ended by a careless driver). I went back and re-took the picture myself of my TL-S!
