For the record, I loosely cross-shopped the TLX as well, but my wife vetoed before the test drive phase.

 

Sponsor a TX racer?

 

^ LOL. If you can turn people down there into clients of mine up here we can talk

 

i think AZ is the only forum that loves people who don't own/drive its own brand.

BTW: i have been an Acura hatter since 2002, am i eligible for anything?

 

You bought the previous gen C-Class made in Germany. It's less flashy but the build quality is better than the current US-made model.

 

That's exactly what my Sales person said.

 

was it a "she"?

 

maybe an acurazine sticker?

they are made here now??? wtf...

 

^ Alabama, engines made in Tennessee. Wouldn't really bother me, I think the W205 is quite a nice looking car, especially in AMG trim
That said, I like all the gen C class cars

 

whoa whoa whoa...


let's not make promises we can't keep here...


remember the charity drive debacle of yesteryear

 

It was actually a he. Has been selling MB for 2 years, prior to that was selling Honda's.

 

Nice, man.
Ruined my "that's what she said" joke though.

 

Tint done! Went with 3M Crystaline 20% in the back, crystaline 70% in the front (tint law)

 

The tint looks great...

 

looking like they're tints though, he did all the windows.

 

Thanks for clearing that up. .. Don't how I missed it...LOL

 

HID Conversion complete. 5000k.

 

Mid install, stock halogen on the left, HID on the right

 

I also had a 2007 Lexus IS250. It had lots of power, handled like a sports car, one of the most comfortable cars I have ever owned (and I have had many!). The closest dealership was 1 1/2 hours away and I made many, many trips there. Problems, problems, problems! I was so very disappointed. At 20,000 miles the fuel filler pipes needed to be replaced and rear calipers also had to be replaced. A little later on the water pump had to be replaced, all 4 alloys started to blister and had to be replaced. At 30,000 miles the 4 tires were done and had to be replaced. One by one, all 4 power door locks stopped working (the first 2 would not unlock, the remaining 2 would not lock with key fob.) There were other issues also, but I can't recall them at the moment, but at 40,000 miles, I decided to sell it while there was still some factory warranty on it and I could still get something for it!

Before I purchased my 2016 RDX Tech, I looked at the Lexus NT but after my experience with Lexus, I just could not seriously consider it.

 

Finally found a place/the time to mount my Radar detector controller It's been hanging out in the glove box ever since I did the install). I specifically got the 8500CI Plus because it had the LED indicator that could be mounted in-dash. So the controller remains generally out of sight, but I could always open up that little compartment if I needed to change a setting, change modes, full mute, etc.

I primarily rely on the verbal notification, the audio chime (It will beep, and say "K-Band" for 3 seconds, and if the alert last longer, the volume reduces to a softer tone). The LED on the dash goes from steady green to blinking red when there is an alert as well.

And as a shameless plug, I'm selling my BNIB Valentine One radar over in the black market if you want to check it out.

 

Like the stealth install of the radar but are those HID's in reflector housings? If so, I freaking hate driving towards you or in front of you.
