how about finish? i've always like the natural aluminim look of machined finish but i'm thinking about monotone now. Gotta be careful because some gunmetal wheels (usuly matte finish) can look just like dirty wheels. I think it has to have a high gloss or hyper type of color to avoid that.
the Murcielago is one of my favorite cars. Looks so wide and so mean. I really liked the old Porsche speedster and the Tonka Hummer too.
So many incredible cars in one place. I wonder which was the most expensive of them all? There were a couple $300k+ Bentleys but I believe the McLaren and the Porsche Carrera GT are even more expensive that that. Surprised there weren't any Aston Martins or Bugattis.
What's up AZ Peeps. I have peeked in from time to time. After going thru a couple different cars and forums this is still the most organized and active forum I have seen on the internet. Proud to have been a part of it for many years. Anyway i wanted to show you my "new" ride. Some of you may know after the TL I bought a Mercedes E350. I did a couple things to it but ultimately I had to get rid of it because of my new job. I am now a sales Engineer (used to be a manufacturing engineer) and my new boss said you can't show up in a better car than your customers. Right, wrong or indifferent I had to change the car. My wife's car was starting to suck up cash so we sold it and she took mine. I started using my 2006 Honda Ridgeline for work because it's comfortable and paid off so it's not going to depreciate with high mileage as much as something newer. I have had 2 cars for like 5+ yrs now so I got used to it and had to get another car. With the Ridgeline designated the work car I needed a personal car. I noticed it had to be a pickup because weekends require something more spacious and I don't like any SUVs on the road right now. So I bought this thing seen below. I have always been a Honda/Import fan, I actually wanted a 2014+ Tundra Platinum but I couldn't afford it so this was the next best one I liked. I've never had a Ford so I've got my fingers crossed it ends up being half as reliable as my TL and my Ridgeline have been. So now it's all pickups all the time. Kinda weird going from a supercharged TL to these 2 cows but these days I don't care at all about speed. Just want a nice looking, comfortable ride...must be getting old. Maybe when I hit my mid-life crisis I'll get back into speed.
So anyways there's my update for those who might care. Enjoy the pics and keep on making this the best forum on the planet.
What's up gents, good to see some OGs still around. Have there been any FL meets? I will still like to go to one. How are your TLs holding up? I spoke to the guy in S. FL who bought mine and it is still the same. I wish he was closer so i could swing by and see it every now and then.

mostly they are in orlando - but i can't be heading to Orlando every time. I know the Acura group goes to the UTI meets most of the time. We do have the Acura Crew Fest happening in September on the 2nd - getting attendance from North Carolina, Georgia, maybe even Indiana peeps, and various others from Florida - come check it out. September 2nd - Bear Creek Park Orlando - posted up the information in the regions/southeast section.
Thanks for the nice comments guys. I was never a truck guy before either. It started when we bought our first actual house (not apt.) and i started "modding" the house. Countless trips to Home Depot made the first truck a necessity. Its funny because when i bought the Benz i was actually wanting a big luxury sedan like a S-Class or a Lexus LS600. I couldn't afford either so i ended up with the E350. Now that the Ridgeline was designated the work vehicle and i wanted to buy another vehicle I ended up with a big "luxury" vehicle (this time with a big trunk and within budget). Now that i spend so much time on the road i never, ever drive fast anymore so I really appreciate a comfortable, luxurious ride....and some good looks of course. This AZ post may have motivated me to take/post some pics and do some mods. AZ continues to positively affect lives, even after they have moved on to other vehicles. Haha

yeah - the NSX GT3 of the Michael Shank Racing group did an outstanding job at the Rolex 24 - Car 86 finished at 5th and Car 93 took 11th after some damage - at some point in the night, the cars had both 1 and 2 positions and led for a good bit, running 634 laps their finish is not bad at all considering it was their first time out! Can't wait to see how those NSX do the rest of the season. i'm definitely going to try and get the race next year.
