After all the mods and all the debt
I liked my 02 TL type S! It drove fast and handled okay. All the n.a mods and 2 trannys later, I'd say it was a good investment. No amount of mods would help it beat fast cars on the top end. It only ever hit one thirty once, on a closed course of course It had a great run, got me to school and back 2 towns over. I finally got a fast car! A Shelby gt500 convertible!
after purchasing, that vtec felt like nothing more than a loud noise, it no longer brought the rush it once did. I sold it for half of what I paid for it back in 08 at 195k miles. I found myself getting 18mpg city driving anyway, so what's the point of keeping another registration fee, and insurance bill? Now I look like a ballur everywhere I drive, and I am careful everywhere I park. It's not a car you can drive with any inhibitors in your system so I drink solely at home. It has made me a more careful grownup who has to keep a job, and be nice to people to facilitate that. I now have my dream car, and my acura helped get me there. It was a good value, a fun sedan, and now it's someone else's. Y'all take care and keep on driving.

If your years with the TL didn't include some track days- immediately look up your local road race track and see which renters are driving schools/groups
A pro race driver serves as your in-car coach! or in a lead/follow group - you are not pressured to go faster than comfortable as you learn the cars limits- which increase with each session on course!
Often found for 200-300 U$D for a full day that will provide you with the truth- you didn't know shite about car control until that day, and every day forward will be a new opportunity to fine tune skills at low speed on the road = then hit the track again
caution- in the words of one ziner- a track day habit makes crack addiction seem like sound financial planning
