The Batmobile has been upgraded!!!!

I must say that this has been a wonderful car. She has never left me stranded on the hot Texas highways. She was always there for me even if I was asking for the impossible. In fact she has been so good that my service advisor purchased her. Goodbye old friend, and may your retirement years be filled with rust free and kid free fun times.




Now I would like to welcome “Duce” to the family.














Duce and Lady K meet for the first time……

congrats! You should have kept the previous car since it was so good to you.. hope your new car (Duce) could provide the same service and reliability as she did.

I swear I like the ABP more and more every time I see it! Looks great!! Is it full ASPEC or just body kit and wheels (didn't see the little badge...could just be me, though)? I think Lady K likes him...

Time to update that signature! Edit - I type too slow...I see you already have.

I just bought a Royal Blue Pearl Monday (no nav, no wheels and parchment interior though) I am growing to like the color more and more. I pick the car and my wife picks the colors.

Hey Batman-JGII, You should come post in the Dallas Meet thread. We are planning on having another meet within the next month or 2. Lot of good people in there. We always try to plan something every month.

Yeah it's the after market wood kit. I just didn't use all the pieces because I thought the whole kit was a bit much.

I agree, the kit is a little too much. The pieces that you did add though make the interior look great.

That is a thing of beauty.

I have to say I also have fallen for the RBP.

It is so cool how it looks Black under certain lighting conditions.
But Blue under others.


If I do get another TL, the RBP will definitely be my first chioce.
Congrats!

That's my thinking, as well...next car will be ABP, uh, RBP, or whatever the equivalent is when I get a new car.

Nice car! I was debating between the anthracite and the deep blue. I owned a Prelude with the same blue color for a long time and thought I'd give the antracite a try. I still love the look of the blue and that will most likely be the next color I buy. I love the interior color as well! Congrats on your recent addition to your family!
