Talking Just Sayin'

Today was the first time I have driven my TL since late October and I must say that I love this car! Just about forgot how much fun this car can be to drive!

I've been without my TL for a week and it kills me to just see it sitting there every morning, can't wait to drive her in a few days.

I agree, the SH-AWD is amazing. Love the Tech package also. I had my mind set on a Mercedes c300 4matic but also test drove the Acura. The Mercedes was BORING in comparison!

Treblig....Oh you lucky guy!! I am anxiously waiting for the opportunity to drive mine. With our recent snow storm, we have been blown a set back and I'll be lucky if I get it out before late April but the countdown is on.

Don't worry "Mikejmack"....I won't get your TL dirty *lol*

So I see you all don't drive your TLs in the winter? Thats fine I guess, but you don't know what you are missing! LOL.

This weekend I am retrieving from storage my S2K for the summer. Freezing rain today around my neck of the woods, hope it doesn't last all weekend.

^^ Yep...not winter driving unless the roads are perfectly dry! My TL (nor RDX) has been in the rain either....just dry roads for these babies.

I know that the TL must be amazing in the snow with winter tires but the SH-AWD is still amazing on those nice summer days

I know, I struggle with having a car so capable of handling winter weather but not driving it. But then again I struggle with the mess and potential damage that driving in that stuff leaves behind.

I wish I had an S2K as a summer car... I wish I had a garage to store it too.

Keeping your ride pristine all the time takes a lot of work,believe me,sometimes i actually look forward to using my old winter beater.

No worries about where i park or who i park next to,snow,salt or daily cleaning plus my winter beater is quite capable in the snow.

Trust me, it's even more fun driving the SH-AWD car (with snow tires of course) in the snow; going boldly where-ever/when-ever you wanna go whilst watching other vehicles struggling for tractions and sliding around all over the places.

Nothing beats that special feeling like you're the King of the snow-covered road.
