I wanted to do something different. 56k-NO!NO!
I'm a scenery type of guy. I'm always looking for ways to make my TL and the pictures it's in look interesting.
Over the weekend it rained nonstop. Now, rain is my favorite because I get a great feeling (try jus sitting in you're TL on a rainy day and I garauntee you'll fall asleep). I was sitting at home playing Tomb Raider Legend (good game BTW) and I thought I'd jus look out my window at the TL. When I looked out I saw the raindrops bounce off, and slide down the contours of My TL's body and I immediately thought, "Wow, that would make great pictures."
I quickly threw on some clothes and went out the door, hopped in the TL and went lookin for the perfect place to take pics. Unfortunately the rain let up by the time I found somewhere but I still managed to take some nice pics.
I wanted to do something other than the regular spotless, waxed to the max, shiney look. I wanted to see the TL looking something like this:
This is the my TL at home.
I found a parking lot, got out and took some pics.
I then told my gf that I wanted her to get in the car and floor it around the parkling lot as I took pics. As you can see I'm still an amature but I'm workin on it.
This is her pulling away.
She gets to the other end.
Floored it towards me. I don't think she actually put it to the floor though? It took some time for her to reach me.
I signaled her to stop when I realized I wasn't getting what I wanted. I'll post it when I get the perfect shots.
I decided I wanted other pics so we drove around again.
This is the result.
I ended up getting a little wet and cold after that so I figured that was enough. I really wasn't liking the quality I was getting anyway but I still liked the pictures.
Before we reached home we drove by the HONDA Heaquarters near our home (not sure it's a headquarters though, could be wrong
) and thought this shot would be something for you guys or those HONDA fans out there. ENJOY!
I hope you like the pics and I plan on doing other things like this. this chapter isn't over yet though, I plan on continuing when it rains again. I'm still waiting on that perfect pic.

To my knowledge, there are no Acura TL models for the US market that have DRL.
I wonder if they'll include it with the re-style. The RL has it. The TSX doesn't though. Who knows.

Hahah...thanks!
Those pics of the TL are from a while back. I now have my 19's on there, so Im guessing those are about 4 months old or so. We had a mild winter here in WI. Cold, but not much snow!

I went after I bought the car through a local guy I know. I did the 3M/Llumar Film in 15% all the way around, and I love it.
Dealerships are waaaay too much. Cheaper to find someone yourself.
