Oh, and it turns out that the new TL also had a lil problem...
Outside...PERFECT!
Inside however, is another story
I told them that I would not accept delivery, or sign anything until that was fixed. The original problem with my current car is not there, so that is good
. The dealership will be replacing the seat and they will let me know when it is done (sometime next week).
The car came from Acura of Sunnyvale, so it has 80 something miles on there since they drove it up from there to Concord.

I was 1 car behind him at 70ish, downshifted to 3rd, and feathered it down. Left him up to 120 and shut it down just to show him what's up. He was single driver, I had Gary as passenger.
However shortly after the run, we were cruising down 680S at 75mph and suddenly saw this large mass appear on the ground that cover almost the entire lane. I moved over so it would pass thru the center of the car, but I wind up hitting it dead on. We stopped at a nearby gas station and looked at the damage. It looked like it was a dead animal left on the road and the bones ripped through my plastic undercarage cover. My passenger side is now torn up and scrapping the ground. Car seems to be running fine, no leaks, and tires have good pressure, but I put cardboard under the car and will check tomorrow morning for leaks and/or other damage.
I need some sleep....

They're called self locking nuts and they go on the sway bar end. That's the way they're designed.

At least you didn't loose control or have multiple tire failures on the spot.
Here's a mod idea for you so this doesn't happen again. Route your exhaust so it points forward. You could have floored it and vaporized the road kill before you fit it
