New Here

Just bought my 2006 TL last night. Wasn't really sure where to put a new member thread, so here it is....

Traded in a 2007 GMC Yukon, fully loaded, and glad to say I don't feel like it was really a downgrade. I really wanted an 07 for the foglights and aux. audio but I'm happy with what I got..

2006 TL with 50,000 miles with Navigation. A few pics, sorry if they're too big






Already ordered some Type S taillights... Possibly looking for a type S front, and a second set of base wheels to try painting..... I probably won't go to crazy with the car, just looking for something reliable to get me through a couple years until I can buy a black TL like I wanted. It's definitely weird being back in a car, but it drives amazing... I think I might be in love

Thank you all... I find myself already putting too many miles on it.. I forgot how much fun it is to actually drive a car....

My last vehicle was an 07' yukon, before that a Grand Cherokee, and before that a 98' Trans Am, so it's definitely been a while.

Many thanks about the house, alot of hardwork, time, and good amish builders haha. I just joined the little ASM group... Looking forward to learning a bit about the TL from you all..

Any advice, insight, thoughts you all can pass on to a newbie??? If I plan to "mod" it, what should come first?

I think I got a decent deal, considering the rest of them I see for sale with 50k miles.... Got it for $19.500 with 4 yr/ 50,000 mile extended warranty........But regardless of the $$$$, I got an amazing deal because I got rid of the gas guzzler and replaced it with a sweet ride... I consider that a great deal in itself haha

Welcome to AZ. It is addicting, you say you won't go crazy now , but.................
Good color choice too.

It's kinda hard to tell from the pics, but your rear wheel looks like an 04-05.

Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of Acura TL ownership. I know what you mean about feeling funny making the switch to a car. My previous vehicle was a cherry 2003 Mazda Tribute - I don't miss it one bit with this awesome car!
