yeah vegas is a giant dust ball.. haha i was lucky that on the way to the casino garage (yeah that's where i took all the pics) it didn't get all dusty haha.


it's nice drivin around vegas and peoples jaw drops when they look at my car. NO ONE out here is an acura enthusiast like i am, so they don't see TLs with nice wheels, or in the condition mine is in. MINT condition.

love the wheels, as you already stated the flat black just doesn't go with that color, I was thinking about doing it to my AM but not sure, what are your plans for it in the future? I'm gonna be out there in a couple weeks...too bad I won't have my whip with me

It's nice to see some other Vegas people on here. Looks like Southpoint Casino? I have only seen one other TL out here that has 18 inch RonJon's on it and a few others dressed up. Nice ride!

Only 108 degress?!

At least it's dry unlike here in Florida where 90 feels like 110 due to the humidity.

Those wheels look really nice on your car. Holy lip! I'm assuming you rolled your fenders...

You need at least the front A-spec lip. The front of your car just seems a little high off the ground - the lip would help with that respect.

HA! I'm currently in Vegas right now visiting my parents, and it's been over 110 the last 2 days. Humid OR dry, 110 degrees is HOT! haha

I told them that i'd never be able to move out here. It's just waaay to hot in the summer. Early/mid fall and early spring are the best times to come.

I have lived here for 22 years. The heat downright sucks ass!!! You can't escape it. I work out in this crap for ten hours a day and will take the fight out of you.

The only bright side to living here is it does not snow and I can pretty much keep my car clean year round.

I plan on moving to Seattle in about two years to escape this hell hole.
