Hola ese, el auto encima de este parrafo es de buena onda. Quiero parecer como mis hombres en el barrio con sus llantas.
How far can you get your seat back when driving that TL? Can you see through the bandana that keeps falling over your eyes? Is your wifebeater clean or does it have ketchup and mustard stains?

Guys, seriously, you appear foolish making your cars look like they were just modified at the nearest housing project. You drive the image of the brand down with your obession with The Fast and the Furious. Do you wish to be Vin? Is this it? I'm trying to understand.

So, with that said....all I'm going to do repost one of your crybaby posts of how you got JACKED on a LEASE because "Your blood sugar was low???"...Alright Grandpa :killer: , just let this whole topic ride and let us get back to talking about the cars WE OWN...ass

P.S. - So Mr. Attorney, where was this "CPA" when you negotiated this deal MR BUSINESS MAN??

I leased my '04 TL with NAV in September from McGrath Acura in Westmont. Everything was very professional on the front end and I thought I managed to get a pretty good deal.
However...
I was there the entire day and very fatigued due to having driven from Detroit the same day in my '01 TL. I wanted to see what kind of a deal I could manage to get in IL because in MI they don't negotiate-Japanese car dealerships are there for show ('We can succeed in the Big 2.5's backyard'). I hadn't eaten and my blood sugar was low and when I signed the final paperwork I thought I had read it through thoroughly (I am very detail-oriented and don't miss much, especially when it comes to a 3-year financial commitment). I told the salesman repeatedly that I wasn't interested unless I could get 15K miles per year as I had on my previous TL lease. He was all smiles and 'Not a problem.' I felt comfortable with him and McGrath because they have a good reputation and are seemingly professional, much moreso than the dealer in Atlanta I had dealt with.
Well...
A few months ago when I was going over the contract agreement I noticed that instead of the 15K miles per year we had agreed upon and had been initially shown to me, they at the last minute must have printed off another copy of the lease terms and changed the mileage allowance to 12K annually. I'm sure I'm screwed and have been considering my options, though I probably don't have any because they have my signature. I'm confident that there was foul play involved because the salesman kept innuending that his 'numbers were low' and that he 'really didn't want' me 'to walk out of here without a new TL.'
This was, in the end, my fault for not being more attentive to crucially important paperwork. Nonetheless, I feel very taken advantage of and wish McGrath would have been more ethical.

I've obviously struck a nerve with 'Da rims crowd.' This has been a lot of fun. Perhaps when you grow up a little you will come to realize how silly you look trying to compete with Vin. Class must be hard to come by in your barrio. But as they say, "Ain't nothin' new for trash like you."

1. Always read $hit carefully before you sign it.
2. There all day? Didn't eat? I was at the dealer 3-4 hours, which included a long test drive. I got there around 2...just after 5 as we were waiting for some paperwork or something, my sales person asked if I was hungry. Since I was, they bought me lunch...had it brought there in 10 minutes...granted, it was just a burger and chips from a fast-food type place, but they went out of their way to do it for me.
Ward - can't wait to see the pics...did some checking online and they look sweet...definitely want to see some daytime shots.

Ward: INCREDIBLE rim choice for the silver TL. 
It looks so sweet I made my wife look...like she cares, right? Clay: I'm not a chrome man myself, but I did want to give you my input on the height as I have a bit of experience with that myself. It's really not bad as is...CERTAINLY not '4x4.' When I first got my 18" Inspyres I put 235s on them with no ASpec suspension. Now THAT was a freakin 4x4. lol For you I don't think it's worth the Aspec price for that half inch, and you're doing the right thing for putting the baby first. Besides, your wife probably isn't taking the TL's current suspension to its limits if I'm guessing right. 
Grats to everyone on this thread for trying to get back on track ignoring that, what do kids say theses days? OH yeah, FUCKTARD! lol, love that word.
Anway, not all lawyers are assholes, but clearly there are plenty still.
