TL needed more power

So I traded for this:




I made a thread in the TL section but decided to share in car talk as well.
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/added-4-more-cylinders-my-blown-tranny-tl-897410/

My TL tranny blew during the summer and I had to put her out to pasture:



But, I was able to move on to something with a few more horses.











And, I'm still a part of the Acura club.



The 3g TL was the best car I've ever owned. Based on the direction Acura goes in the next few years, I may be back to puchase one as a second car.

As I mentioned in your 3G TL - Congrats on the purchase of an E60 M5! I think you'll love it!

Awe yeah! Awesome purchase! Having had the pleasure of ringing Tribe's M5 out once, I'm sure you'll be enjoying that extra power!

It should be on by next summer.
Also some other minor mods planned with a year to complete.

Rich? Nah. Just handle money well. Save, save, save. And spend wisely. I set my priorities, establish a goal, and develop a plan to go after it. YOLO!

Yep! One owner, older gentleman. One of the big oil guys here in town. I think he moved on to the M6 grand coupe.

All maintenance was performed on time everytime.

SMG is just as much fun, but there's just something about rowing your own gears.

Plus, that G8 is pretty badass too!

It's just like college. Spend a few years in the books and you'll have the rest of your life to enjoy based on the career that studying helps you get! (Sorry, not trying to sound like a parent), But it worked for me.
