My New '08 TL

About a month ago my 06 TSX was totaled in an accident. Thank god I was ok. But I loved my TSX and was devistasted about losing her. It had hardly any miles and was completly babied.

You can read more about it here:

After some negotiating I convinced my claims adjuster to compensate me pretty well.

I started a quick and dirty search for a replacement car. About 60 miles away I found this 2008 Black Acura TL with 30k miles.

It was a big upgrade for me and my payments actually went down!

Now I need to work on getting some winter tires/wheels before the north east winter kicks in.

I was heading south bound, a car driving north bound was stopped with his blinker on trying to make a left hand turn across my lane. A plumbing truck didn't stop and plowed him into my lane across the double yellow
