Wow! House paid for at 34! That is a big accomplishment! I know that feels nice. Thanks for sharing!

And thanks to the others for sharing as well. Let's keep it going!

CONCEPT CUSTOMER

Performance luxury sedan customers value vehicle traits, such as dramatic and exclusive exterior styling, emotional and luxurious interior design, and fun-to-drive character. These elements are balanced by an equally keen appreciation for quality, reliability, durability and competitive pricing.

Self-guided, discriminating and technically savvy, these customers also feel that prestige is determined more by life experiences than by pure wealth. In other words, experiencing life, rather than just accumulating possessions, is a powerful driver. For this reason they are interested in vehicles that help them enjoy driving to the fullest-and the 2009 TL is designed to do exactly that. While the 2009 TL is designed to appeal to a broad range of upscale consumers, the target buyer for the TL is expected to be a professional male in his mid 40s with a household income of about $100,000 per year, while the expected TL SH-AWD® target buyer is a professional male in his early 40s with a household income of over $150,000 per year.

Just a quick question...your profile says Age 42....above you said age 40. Women will pick up on that too *lmao*

I suspect you didn't put your correct age on your profile, I don't like to give al my facts either for safety reason.

You are right. I deliberately put an incorrect age on my profile because savvy crooks will go to any lengths to commit theft; identity, property, etc. So for the ladies wondering, I am 40 years old with the energy and vitality of a 30 year old-

I feel so "out there."

17 years old
Highschool senior
2010 TL SH-AWD in White Diamond Pearl

Purchased a month and a half ago for ~$24k with 99,123 miles.

Yes I would consider myself spoiled since I am an only child, but in my defense, I wanted a late 90s or early 2000 used car.

2012 Acura TL SH-AWD is my car. 38 years old, and is my 6th Acura. Network Administrator for a very large Credit Union in South Texas. I am starting to notice the 3rd gens going that way now after owning a few of them.

The discussions were becoming immature and the cars were being heavily modified. Anyway I'm curious to know more about you all here on AcuraZine.

So please share with everyone your age, occupation, and which 4G model you drive. Being I currently don't own a Acura and I'm starting this thread, I'll be more then happy to share with you all a little about me.

I think this might be fun!
