Chris this is what you have right?

^That's a hot lens. The f/1.8 version is quite nice too and much cheaper.

 

U sir are correct...I have the $500 1.8 version.....

Nope....couldn't justify that price....

Heres some shots of my daughter with the 85mm.....

^those pics are nice


The 1.8G lens is a very good contender compared to the 1.4G. Performance wise, most paople only need the 1.8

The 1.4 lens will shine in low-light areas because of the wider aperature, but how often are you going to use that extra f-stop to justify the $1000-$1200 price difference?


Italiano, put that camera in Manual mode and let that lens "Do Work"

 

Tnx....I do shoot in manual....those were in manual...no auto for me..

I love this one...her face is like really....

She's like, "dad, I'm too grown up for this stuff".

Great pics though, super sharp lens

you have an adorable daughter bro....

 

I'd congratulate you for that, buddy. She is very cute...

 

Tnx.....

 

She clearly doesn't get her good looks from her father

 

wait to u have babies....lol

 

LOL...I am totally looking forward to it.

 

Guys need your help...selling gts 2 day and ran across a sexy mint 2002 TL type -s....NBP
The good: It is really clean inside and out....tinted windows etc...The bad: It has 248k miles...Transmission was replaced at 202k miles...one fog light cracked and trunk lid has a dent in it....Price $4200....is it worth getting as a second car?

 

if i was going to get another car, it wouldn't be an acura. not because i don't like acuras, i would just want something totally different than what i already own.

 

and eww at 2nd gen TL

 

Its sexy....Black on Black Type-s........opinons are appreciated

 

^its okay...

like aaron said, why not try something else.
you already have a 3rd gen...
and the 2nd gens are nothing special...

 

I agree with Aaron....i wouldnt mind an S2000 or 350Z or something like that....i wudnt own 2 sedans that also from the same brand and same model......

about the car, once the tranny is rebuild you are opening a whole new can of worms....it can happen that you wont have a single issue and at the same time, you could notice another tranny failure....

other than that, i would try to negotiate down to 3200-3500 range just because....i wudnt worry much about the fog light and the trunk lip as they are easily replaceable....

 

Ok guys...tnx

 

Chris, just as a frame of reference, a buddy of mine traded in his NON mint 02 type S with 176K. Guess how much they gave him!??! Fkn $800.

In addition, your car is gorgeous, brother...gorgeous. Do you really think you'll drive the 02 when you have a pimped out 3G sitting at home?

Your TL is a practical car. Your 2nd car (unless this purchase is for wifey and kids) should be a fun one that is RWD and has some more power.

 

I have two TL's. My 99 I drive basically daily to work, but my 3G TL I drive on nice days, weekends, trips, or whenever I choose to.

To keep the story short, my 99 was paid off for two years before I bought the 3G. Picked up the 3G and decided it wasnt worth it to sell my 99 if it was still running good. Have owned the 99 TL for 10 years now and im kinda attached to it (Not worth the $2000 people are offering me).

Now, in your case, I wouldnt purchase an older car just to have a daily. If your car is running fine then keep driving it. Save that money instead.
Maybe a coupe sports car or somthing more sporty.

 

^^^I agree...
in retrospect, I guess a 2nd daily driver that's good on gas and cheap on tires would be good for me too! Make the TL a garage queen.

J.

 

This. When I get a 2nd car for myself, it'll be something very different, like a Jeep.

 

Word....Im not getting it....

 

Yea, Chris...I know it's a Type S, but it's a 2nd Gen. Stay with what you've got.

 

He was going to have the 2G AND 3G Steven

I'm glad you didn't get it Chris. I'm with John on this, I want something totally different.

 

 

So you did?
Why did you get rid of the Celica after so much work/money in it?

 

I know

 

Cute, so you and Chris share secrets...

 

Yep. Almost as cute as your and Austin's play dates.

 

You're just jelly I got to hang out with J and see his hottie and went to dinner.

All you got was the, "Meet at Target and we'll take a few pics."

 

We had Chili's afterwards you fool!

Plus I got to see Brian's (Nexson) sexy 4G TL in person

 

Ehh...cool but not a really appealing color to me.

 

Either you're color blind or you're a fcking crackhead if you don't like that color.

 

Or I'm picky.

 

It's funny, I appreciate the color too but Mayan Bronze FTMFW!
I loved hanging out with both of you...

 

I will have my new TOY 2morrow.....

 

J got a warning for posting strap ons in his thread, I suggest that you keep any pictures of your "toys" to yourself.
