My new ride

I just picked up a 2007 TL/Nav on Monday - last one on the dealer lot. The car is fantastic and I miss driving it.

I originally wanted the red but with it being october and the 2007's quickly disappearing, my choices were limited.

tell me about, I orig wanted KBP, but they didn't have the black/grey int. I'm glad I got the MRP.
I had white cars b4, get's dirty too quick, I'm too lazy to clean it

Thanks everyone. leopwr - I miss driving b/c i'm at work all day while its sitting at the train station. Evader, Red was my 1st choice, black was my 2nd but the dealer only had one 2007 with NAV and it was WDP. The price with trade was too good to pass up. The only thing I'll add be a rear spoiler from Acura. I do agree that WDP is a classy color.

You've got your head on straight, unlike the NBP boys in this forum. You went with the best color available!

Good luck with the mods, even though you're not going to do too many.

Yo Brettallica, maybe you ain't paying attention bro - but NBP was probably sold out on DAY ONE!! Everybody and their mama is rolling NBP!! Hahahahahahaha!

OP, good choice on the car man! You can get the color right on the next one! But if you want that NBP, and I know you do, it would be best to get in that line wrapped around the corner in May playa! Enjoy the ride!

NBP = sold out on day one = everybody and their mama is rolling NBP = NBPers can't think for themselves and choose something original (and sweet and classy)
darksom1 has a boner for WDP
JK, bud. We're all in this together.

We don't have to go through this god damn debate on every damn thread do we????? Haven't both of you learned that the only truly original color is the Desert Mist.. I mean god damn, show me one other modded desert mist on here of an active member and i will shut the F up@!! Each of you have the two most common colors.... but they both look good@!!!

You guys crack me up everytime........but I think my Anthracite is sexy also ;-)

ctvader: I know exactly what you mean by missing driving that beautiful machine.....I catch myself finding excuses (I'm married) to going out and driving that baby all the time.....
Good luck to you and all of your future mods.
And I said the same thing you did "I'll just add the spoiler!" Now I have the spoiler body kit 07 TL-S lights CAI Supercomputers pedals.....soon to have the mats from hondaacuraworld..... IT NEVER ENDS!!! lol

First of all I said ACTIVE member,... someone who i have actually had any kind of correspondence with not some random old pic....

Second off all throwing big rims on a car and leaving it stock is not modding a car...

Third of all .. and i swear to god, everytime i see that pic i think to myself..... if my car that color? For some reason mine does not look that dark, maybe i am in denial, but i swear mine is lighter than that? CHeck it out what do you think?


Ohhh.... OK here is a new challenge for your Dark...... find me a picture, or any member who has Desert Mist with Black leather and not the ugly tan shit.....

You my dawg Desper, but yeah...you in denial!

On the really real...it's probably the contrast between interior and paint that makes it look different. They have the lighter interior, which makes their paint look darker...while you have the darker interior, which makes your paint look lighter. Either way, it's still DSM, so it's yours. You shoulda went NBP and you wouldn't have this damn problem! Hahahahahaha...

Ain't that the truth. Everyone is in it for different reasons, though, so I respect anyone who makes an effort to make their car unique. It doesn't really matter to me who has the highest amount of modifications done. If your car looks good, then your car looks good - and that is that. Whether I agree with their taste, well that could be a whole 'notha story.

Black leather on this color is the shit, as is this car in general. I've got to say, this is the best Desert Mist TL I've ever seen.

Too bad you wussed out on the All-Cali meet a while back because I really wanted to check out your ride.

Yeah, that is definitely one of the best, if not the best.

Damn.... I wanted to go, but i just could not do it unfortunately....

Get a little meet together sometime and i can check out that WDP too...

The Desper Mist does look and sound a lot better with the comptech catback and e-shift 3rd cat!!!

I have honestly not seen a VERY NICE WDP in person.... All of them I see are NBP, or a second gen blue color.... Would like to see one polished and shined up all to hell... My neighbor has a WDP, but she cleans it like once a month, i put a note on her door when it looks filfthy that says "wash your god damn car!!!!"

Nice pickup! Although I like MRP better, WDP still looks gorgeous. Not a fan of black TL's (or black cars in general), yuck.
