Thanks Jimmy! I just put in my offer. Now I'm waiting to see if they'll take it since they claim to be "no haggle".

Thanks Jimmy! I found it in NY, NY lol. 32K miles and it's a CPO. Estimated travel time is 12+ hrs. Now that I'll have navigation, I shouldn't be lost driving through the ghetto lol.

Do it, Donnie! Get rid of the IS and get back into another Type-S lol. BTW, what color did you use to register the car when you had yours? I've seen some register it as brown (WTF?!) on some carfaxes and I've seen some register it as grey (which is more of what I'm thinking).

Yeah, it was the cheapest dealership I could find and I've been searching for over 3 weeks. Not to mention, it's a CPO with really low miles.
Wow, I didn't realize you had sold that car. I'll see if that's an option when I go to register it lol.
First order of business would have to be coilovers. I hate that wheel gap!
Then when funds start flowing in again, I'll get the A-Spec kit, but will be getting the front lip from a base since I don't like the Type-S one.
How long will you be deployed for? And stay safe dude!
Yeah man I sold the IS and only have the M45 here. I'm deploying in the next couple days and she will be in storage but I think when I get back next year, I'm gonna look for another. I bought mine at Ed Voyles so they did everything. Whenever I was asked the color, I always said bronze! Yea I am definitely envious...lol. I still have my old wheels in GA if your interested.

Nice! Are you going to go with the tein ss again? If I pickup another TL when I get back, my first mod will have to be getting richie's V3 Jpipe again. I'm hoping to be back around this time next year.

I'm not sure. I was thinking either Megan Racing or HT Type 2. The Teins were great, but it would've been better had I gotten the EDFC, too, cause you can't adjust the rears once they're installed lol.
When you get back here again next year, where do you think you'll be stationed again? Coming back home to GA?

So I got my car out of the body shop and got my wheels on and everything looked SICK.......... BUT.. I was unhappy with the stance on springs, so as soon as I got home, I immediately ordered Megan Racing coilovers!!

The weather is pretty cool now. The drivers here do suck! My second day here I had a guy back into my car. Every Walmart here no matter what time it is, is PACKED!! Definitely a little different here but not all bad...lol.
Haha....I dont get out to much and not sure about the smell. I'm just so ready to leave come back and look for a house with a garage again. I've been in a hotel for about 5 weeks waiting for a flight date. Just a few more days now....

I can't believe a Wal-Mart would be that packed any time of the day lol. They must not have a lot to do out there. Next time you go, snap a pic of those "people of walmart" lol.
Damn dude, that's going to be straight pimpin'! I can't wait to see the final result. I really love the look, but it's not functional for me. Too many speed bumps to contend with on my commute to work.

Wow bro, I thought you would be on base while out there. I didn't realize they had put you in a hotel. If that's the case, why not let you stay in GA and fly you out on a C-130? lol I can't wait to get a house myself so that I can have a S2000 in my garage lol.

Well I think it's alot to do with alot of people from Mexico come over and return with "stuff" like food. This is my last weekend and will see if I can get a pic up of the Walmart here mid day....lol.
Wow, you're set on an S2K? Remember my friend Peter that came up with me to the one meet? He is a comm tech also and looking for an S2K also. What is the big deal with them....lol?
Well, I talked with the wife tonight and she does NOT approve, BUT I think when I get back I will be trading in my M45S for another TL-S. We traded in her TSX for a Pilot and she loves the RSX, so I am going to use that as "fuel" to get another TL-S.

Donnie - OK, that's pretty understandable to opt for a hotel rather than leasing when you know you're deploying soon. Sucks that it has to be out of pocket. They better give you one hell of a combat pay lol.
Man, S2Ks are awesome! That's the only rear wheel drive car that Honda has made since they had gotten rid of the NSX. So, it's a NSX with a budget lol. 2 of my friends are looking to get one, too lol. One of them was dead set on getting it this past weekend, but it didn't pan out.
Good luck to you on searching for another TL-S. It's out there and you'll get one hell of a deal for an '08 one! Man, this TL-S is a beast compared to my base lol. The clutch is a little stiffer than my old one and I'm still trying to get used to all the bells and whistles on this car. It took me a long ass time to figure out how to turn the voice activated turn-by-turn navigation on! lol

Ty, Congrats again man. If you do this thing any way like your old TL it is going to be SICK.
With the fogs, putting HID down there should be pretty simple. What would take it over the top is if you did HID projector retrofit. (Like mine) Yessir!!!!
Cant wait to see what you have planned here. We need to get our next meet set up soon.
