I'm loving my new TL Tech.

I just picked this car up last week and I absolutely love it. Although I could have easily spent the extra money on the SH AWD, I settled with the base. The car drives well, the stereo system is absolutely wonderful.

The brakes kinda suck, and it seems to drink more gas than the car it replaced, the suspension is numb, but its ok, It is 1/3 of the car payments!

I'm enjoying this vehicle everyday. Kudos to Honda for making a good vehicle at this price point.

It was nothing exotic. Just a BMW. Here's the picture of the old mistress.

No upgrades in mind. I'm still enjoying the smooth ride of the 17" stock wheels and Michellin. The sales person was pretty surprised that I didn't really want anything. However, when my tires wear out, I'll probably put on the 19" black chrome wheels or a set of light weight HRE's in Gun Metal, maybe Bigger Brembo brakes when they become available. Other than that, I'm leaving everything very very stock this time.

That looks like a heart shape on the 750 plate. Cali plates have symbols?

Yup. Probably the only good thing about California.
