It does exist!






Saw a TL cruising in front of me... Then I said, hmmmm...... Is that KBP...... Wait, Type-S!!!! (I know all KBP's are Type-S, but I was too excited to think rationally)


I said, get the phone, I need pics!!!


Then, he took off from the light!!!



6 Speed!!!!!!



He had a nice exhaust, it was audible, but not annoying at all...


The car appeared almost stock, but all I saw was the back, and side when he hit the cloverleaf on getting on the interstate...



But DAMN!!!!! I FINALLY saw one!!!!

We all know KBP TL-S exists .... although, I don't know of any potatoes that can take pictures that clearly.

Anyone?

OK, well I've never seen one and have been looking for over 2 years!


I've been told many times this car is a #Unicorn!


Now, how about that........ Um........ What was it...... Oh yeah........ I figured out that there is a 10% chance of seeing a TypeS when seeing a 3gen TL.... From there, 10% of the TypeS TL's I'm seeing are 6 Speeds... (This is all speculation, but I gave it some thought)


I finally came to a conclusion that 10% of the TypeS cars are KBP... (Totally guessing) I usually see Carbon Bronze Pearl, Alabaster Silver or Crystal Black Pearl, so this was a real treat!


I had a 0.01 chance of seeing this model car, when considering all 3gen TL's from 2007-2008! It's probably the only one in my state!


And, I could tell the owner knew it! He gave a few hints, like subtle mods, custom plate, driving habits, and such... So, the car is in good hands!!! It looks like!!!!!!$!!!!!!!

I must say, all 16 of those pixels make an intriguing pattern.

And the lens shake really ties it together.

For 5 minutes... That's how I came to appreciate these so much... I don't blame him for selling it, but I do for the black TL he had before the KBP.

He thought he could go back, after going black, but proved once again that you cannot.

White balance adjust on low light settings will leave the shutter open longer than normal so even if you think you are being still, you are not...which is why normally you need an ipod.
Newer phones probably counter this with automatic settings but in reality you could have shot a really shitty picture even with an Iphone 10. Not really your fault...just poor lighting.

I had that car for a whopping 6 months IIRC...picked it up on Valentine weekend while wife and newborn stayed home...what a romantic dick...no wonder I'm divorced...
and then I sold it around August.

I went black after that again with a ton of power but MM is right...nothing compared to my OG NBP. I still miss that bitch to this day.

This is why I want an older car again!



It seems everything new I get I let it go so fast like it's just a material relationship...



It really hit me that I'm now finally worshiping the RDX, that took 2.5 years of bonding...


But, the Camry, TL and Optima never did it...


Honestly, the Optima fixed the problems I had with the TL, but the TL was just plain better...


However, I still want an Accord, that's what got me into Honda in the first place... Acura's have demon electrical systems... Though I wouldn't mind another TL or a TSX...


I choose to drive the RDX as much as possible, but I only have it during the week... I want something that extends classic Honda that feel...


The TL was really heavy, and had a shit turning radius...


Ok, J, feel like I'm becoming you, bro...
