Ever sell a car...

It would need to be an expensive repair, or lots of small repairs that just continually eat up my time and patience (eg: needing to take the car to the shop ALL the time) that would probably throw me over.

I have a couple rattles here and there. They're not that often so I can somewhat put up with them, but if they were frequent it would drive me nuts. Rattles are like Chinese water torture

Regardless, I would take the car to a tuning shop with a camber kit if the cars allignment was really that bad. Sounds like all you really need is the front camber fixed, I think those kits run pretty cheap. Install + reallignment and be done with it...

I've never said I was going to sell the car (other than openly stating I'm "looking" at 3-series; but have been for months), that I'm done with Acura, etc. I don't even know what the outcome is yet and Acura's position.
Regardless, your comments aren't well justified nor appreciated.

So far, I drove my TL back to the dealership only to pick up touch-up paint, buy wiper blade inserts and look at the TL-S. I'm pretty happy with my car and may buy it off the lease I'm on now, unless I run across an NSX screaming my name.

No offense meant, Scrib, but Trancemission was simply stating his personal opinion, just like others did in this thread. I do agree that an alignment issues can be a minor repair, and that, in your case, has never even been properly diagnosed/fixed (so there can be a permanent solution once the proper fix is done). As others have mentioned, a camber kit isn't too expensive (I don't know from personal experience, but believe them). However, I certainly DO understand your upset and frustration over a problem that you've endured for a while now.
