Thanks guys

Those are actually just iPhone pictures, touched up a little in Lightroom. I didn't bring my DSLR home because I didn't think I would be doing anything amazing this weekend.

The original paint was faded and flaking off so they were powdercoated almost two years ago. The finish has held up great!

It's not ABP, it doesn't have Ebony interior, and it's not a 6-speed.

If you're going to be an asshole, get it right

Thanks Matt

As much as I would love a CL, I don't think I'll be buying another Honda product when the TL bites the dust.

Stay tuned, we'll let you know what you're going to buy next.
Remember, I already let you out of getting that NBP.

Matt I don't like the A3. Never have. A4 or A6 Avants do have my attention though







I don't have that kind of money and I have other priorities though.

Unless it's a NSX, no. I'll elaborate below.

And thanks!

Here's how I took at the 3G TL in general, with the cons consisting of what I've experienced:

Pros
-Gorgeous
-Mechanically reliable
-Good blend of luxury and performance
-Great MPG considering it's size

Cons
-Cracking dashboard fiasco
-Automatic transmission shit carried over from 2G CL/TL
-Weak leather
-Interior rattles
-Amplifier static
-Rear calipers constantly seizing

I can honestly say that if my car were still stock, it would have gotten the boot work a while ago. I like the car but the little things really add up and annoy the hell out of me.

BUT with all of the money put into it and such, I'm just going to keep it until it dies.

No....you can't like the Aston station wagon.


The words "station wagon" totally negate any Aston coolness.



That's totally like enjoying the Ferrari FF!

Attainable dream car is a S2k.

Actual dream car would be this...



That's the only Verde Ithaca SV in the US. Click the link below for more...

http://teamspeed.com/forums/aventado...ithaca-sv.html

And yes, I love the Aventador, but Lamborghini is going to make a bunch of them and I would rather spend my money on something that not everyone has the opportunity to get.

The SV is just one of many cars I would have if I had the funds. The TL is getting me around just fine though

EDIT: omfg, look at these SV pictures

I hate that green and although I KNOW it's functional, I struggle to love that wing.
PS, before seeing the "Miami" in the photos I was like, hey...that's Oleta River Park! That's one of the places I go mountain biking (the orange shoot). COOL!
