I would probably look for something comparable to the TLX.
You all know how I am about Lexus. So thats a statement in itself.
I would go look at the Taurus SHO. Special Spot in my heart.
I would also be looking at BMW, Audi, Porsche, Maybe Mercedes (certain Models).
I would also look at the New Mazda 6. Great Looking car and from the following of Mazda's in the community, I would guess they are alright.
I'm not looking for anything new any time soon, but its always nice to dream.
Tonight's Project:
I have torn apart an OEM HID Ballast to see if it can be repaired. I am going to get some distilled water and clean the circuit boards, and see if that can narrow the issue. Then go from there.

Food. Sweet cars. Salesmen bugging you left and right. Typical dealership stuff.

It's absolutely stunning. The F-Sport looks awesome but the F looks like the Hulk flexing while wearing a small t-shirt. Make sure you check out the seats in both; they are fantastic. The steering wheel is super thick with sweet stitching too.
I'm going to sound nitpicky as hell but watch how slowly the front seats move forward when you pull the handle. If it were raining and you were trying to get people inside, everyone would be soaked. Also, I'm not a fan of the eyelash looking things on the rear bumper. They're not functional and look like afterthoughts once the general design was done.

I am just getting home myself. The event was awesome.
I'm about 7 beers in and a glass of wine. Whoo it was great too see old co workers and be tempted to blow all of my money.
Maybe one day!
Quote of the night from Eric: 'So what color Volk TE-37's would look good on this RCF if I bought it?'

I thought for a moment about trading in the Acura... nah
On a side note, I saw an 07/08 TL in traffic on 485 Tonight with OEM Door Guards and wheel well guards. I never knew those were an option. Thought it was a little strange.

So badass.
Brought back memories of when I was 16. My first car was a 65 mustang. Made me wonder what it would look like if I had it today.

Chargespeed Replica STi lip
