no more TL for a few weeks or months
yea i brought in my car for service over the weekend but it wasnt done and i needed to be back down in socal for school.. so im driving my sisters 02 accord LX.. this thing is a big downgrade, no climate control, no sunroof, no abs, no leather, less horsepower and it feels like the ride height is higher up

TL no more!
Well, it can potentially be a huge difference. My car averages around 19mpg mixed. I fill up every 3 or 4 days. When I had my '90 Accord (my dad drives that now), I fill up every week or two and it usually yielded at least 27mpg. That's an extra 6mpg. Now that car has about 230k miles, it still gets around 25mpg so it's not bad at all.

you know it was weird driving the TL on thanksgiving, i was able to tell the differences between a 97' 2.5TL and a 02' Accord LX, for one thing the ride height of the accord feels much higher than the TL, and the steering on the TL is much more loose and easier to turn than the accord, the accord is pretty stiff and takes a slight amount of force to turn. definately can feel the power different between the 2 (150hp vs ~176hp) handling wise, the TL wins on that, can take turns a bit faster and more stable. ohh and the pillar that has the seatbelt connected to it, its sits farther back than the accord, what i mean is when you look over your left shoulder to check your blind spot, in the accord the pillar is smack dab in the middle of your view, in the TL is off to the left more giving you a better view, and thats about all i can remember for now 
anyways im gonna be getting back my car friday, cant wait to get back the leather seats, no more static shocks, and the climate control
cant wait!~!!!! 
im gonna miss the keyless entry thou
