Now THAT'S an interesting comparison.....

Nice cool spot in the shade to wash the car Saturday morning...
also discovered one tail has a leak

In trying to dry it out, melted the red signal lens a little...not really super noticeable but enough to annoy me. Trying to source another to repair and seal back up. Might go back to the red stripes.

I knew this was coming...

I haven't even driven her in 10 days. I have mismatched tails right now, which annoys me...
I need to dust her off this weekend. Once I put the car cover on though, I kinda wanted to leave it that way to keep it clean!

Given how much you're driving the S, I'm surprised she's not up for sale yet haha

Honestly, I have limited knowledge on that, man. I tried licking the tip in college and didn't feel right. I stuck with women from that point forward and it's been smooth sailing. I appreciate you feeling comfortable enough with me to seek my guidance though.

So...TL got dusted off and used this weekend.
I still love her, I really do.

Wash and Wax done...fixed a burnt out fog bulb...swapped those lugs for silver ones. I'm kinda over the matching unless it was the mu. Still love those.

Also, found a right side type s tail internal on ebay...all I need for the signal lens to swap in. I'll fix the type s black bezels and either put them back on, or sell em.

i like these tail lights much better

i've never been a fan of any black inside tail lights on any colour TL

you like reflection shots?
I wanna see this car go for a chin dip at the boat docks
the TL would be getting a sip of water lol

like this but much closer, touching the water.



this guy was a wuss, he's already over the water, why not go to the limit
i kid

Just get someone to tug it from behind It's not as bad as you think!


Actually... the Accord had to get pulled out of my complex's underground garage when it was towed the other day. Manual steering and brakes with a tow truck pulling you along. Effing scariest chit ever.

but only out of guilt! I still get wood when I drive the S2000.
I do love the TL and I get lots of thumbs up on it...and I love the bass and comfort...
but S2000 is much more enjoyable to drive.

LOL...a young kid came to the door last night promoting a home improvement company. The Type S was sitting in the driveway. When he left, he complimented it!


Every time I get a chance to drive the C7, it's like a big event.
