Talking Yeahhh Glad To Be Here! Finally...

On Monday I took my '01 TL in for service cause my 2nd gear was slipping... same old story... so I saw this nice '04 sitting in the lot and decided it might be time to upgrade... long story short here is my new ride... just picked it up wednesday so no mods yet but soon.





Can't see the car but it just looks cool...


Anyhow, glad to be here! Peace for now, I might post some day-time pics later.

hahahahaha

but since you brought up the color, I like the anthracite better than the nighthawk black I had on the '01... and I did look at WDP model but I wasn't impressed still funny tho, probly should add some "speed holes" to the hood then too (unless you are a simpsons junkie you might not get this joke)...

But birds are most attracted to WDP - that's the trade off.

Actually NPB is. It has the best shine! (When clean) It looks the so shiny and all the wax makes it more wind risistant. Reduces drag by .oooooooooo1.

Anyways great ride, should have gone with a 6MT.........

Thought about that for a long time.... I love MT but being that I spend most of my time commuting and when I have MT cars I tended to blow a piston rod (what red line?)... I decided it was "safer" to go AT... for this one at least. When I can afford a second TL (someday) I will def. go MT and mod that to high hell. But I agree w/ you MT is way more fun (unless you're sitting in the 128 parking lot for 2 hours - boston reference for all you non-new englanders)

PPLAPW: Took a look at your ride it looks amazing. Would love for my car to took like that, how much did you dtop over all for mods? The black is sexy but it's so hard to maintain. You're a brave man. (shout out to P-TOWN, got family in OR its a nice place to visit!)

Perforated. All TLs have perforated leather (to the guy that asked the question).

By the way, congratulations...and welcome! Good luck with the ride.
