goodbye all moving on.

well the day has come, my 2003 tl-s has been sold. And i just purchased a 2008 lexus is-f. the car is just amazing, from the noise of the engine to the feel of the car when driving it. Not to put down the tl cause it has been my pride and joy for the last 7 years, but the isf is just completly different. It is a beast, and i am loving every moment of it. But i just got her yesterday with a full tank and 1 notch of the gas bar is gone already i drove like my 90yr old grandmother,because i wanted to break her in properly b4 any spirited driving.

well i have fully enjoyed the support,and the kindness from the members here and will miss my experience as a membe of a acura tl. I would like to thank those whom helped me with troubles, and those who have me advise for certain situations.

but one who comes to mind off the bat is faytmss or something like that forgot the exact name, but thank you sir.

thanks to everyone.

oh yea i just found out it takes 10 quarts of oil to change, ahhhhhhhh.

Just b/c you are no longer an Acura owner doesn't mean you have to leave...
You've been a member long enough and I'm sure there are people here that can learn from you. And I'm probably not speaking for just myself, I am sure everybody wants to see pics and hear about your experiences with the IS-F. So where the heck are the PICS?

Congrats, post pics and a full review after owning it for a while. It's gonna cost a lot more to own the ISF. lol 10quarts of oil is a lot, not to mention the gas. Have fun and be safe.

No, sh**? $60k high performance sedan vs. a $28k semi-luxury family sedan... just a little different.

OH Please. The new CTS-V is pure SEX. It Blows the M's(3 & 5) out of the water. And quality inside is 2nd to none.

Aside from the fact that Cadillacs are junk and hold one of the worst resale values. This Lexus will be worth twice what the Cadillac will be worth in 5 years. (and have less issues)

Nice choice on the IS-F, those are beautiful cars.

Its this mentality that i just cant stand. What about this Caddy makes it JUNK? Yea sure past ones have been, but the caddy line has improved LEAPS and Bounds. There may be some deprecation more but they are getting better, and dont give me have more problems crap. My friend has had more issues with his lexus than my neighbor with his caddy.


Oh and moved.
