So.. I got a new(er) car
Its a 2002 Acura RL, white with parchment interior with navigation. Mint condition. I'll be picking it up Thanksgiving weekend and I'll provide plenty of pictures when I get back after Turkey Day.
Mods to be done over the next few months:
Chrome Shiftplate
2004 instrument gauges
2004 Headunit + XM installation
2004 Navigation
Last but not least, some headwork done to the engine
I'm buying this from a family member who no longer needs the car, so I got it for an absolute steal (as in just over $10,000) . It literally doesnt have a scratch on it.
So that'll be THREE Acuras

My mom has a 2000 RL that she bought new, that thing is a tank! It's a good cruiser and I don't think it's ever given her any problems since she bought it.

Congrats man! Def post pics when you get it! 
I really like those 1G RLs, just need some wheels though, they have some of the worst OEM wheel designs.
Next on the list, cheap AP2 S2000

With a record number of house foreclosures, you're going to see alot of toys being sold now for quick money (before the bank takes the house). This might be a good time to start looking for bargains

I recently saw a good condition AP2 for $20,000, but it was sold the next day. Surprise surprise.

He really needs to sell it before I start thinking about offering him 20K for it
Figure the hardtop has to add at least 2K in value.It's been getting down in the 30's @ night here in MA, so it's definitely not the right time to be selling a convertible...
