What have i been missing?
Hello Acurazine, new to the site. Don't use forums as much as I use to, but every bit of information I've been looking for keeps bringing me back to this site. I figured what the h*ll I'll join.
Just bought my first Acura two days ago. 2005 Acura TL with navigation, black leather package, Anthracite Metallic color. Love the car, car currently has 122k miles, which is fine because the purpose was for the car to be my daily driver.
I love the car, so much quality and features for the price, wish i had bought one years ago. Don't intend on doing much with the car, most as far as I'll go as far as "performance" goes is probably just intake/exhaust. Most to what I've already done is cosmetic stuff. I added 20% ceramic tint while having the car completely polished, waxed, and headlights restored. I also debadged the rear trunk lid other than the center logo.
Only problems I've found with the car is the driver side front turn signal doesn't work if you have the clearance lights on or hit the unlock button? But it works if the turn signal is on? Strange.
Other than that this is probably the best vehicle I've ever purchased other than my V-Rod. I also have a 2001 Chevrolet Duramax, (yeah i know, diesel truck...) that i've had a quite of work done to. I'm a GM guy but there's no denying the quality and reliability of the Acura TL.
Here's some pics, thanks for letting me join.

She's automatic. I'd prefer a manual trans but this car was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. But the automatic is nice since it's gonna be the daily. I just done a trans service on it Saturday. Fluid wasn't real dark but it was due.
Order Magnaflow exhaust Saturday night, waiting for that to come in
