You guys missed some nice cars out at TMS. It was good to see you and you'r brouther RUF. A 55 Chevy that Ruf's brother painted was out there and I must say this was the best paint I have ever seen on a car. It looked wet! If anyone wants a paint job see Ruf's brother but don't forget your wallet!!!

There were some awsome rides out there . . . good thing I brought an extra pair of underware . . . kinda of lost it was we passed the 'Cuda's 
Too bad about your shades getting lost out there . . .
I'll pass on the complement about the paint job to my brother as soon as he recovers his @$$ . . . I think he lost it on the east bound 121 to 635 exit. :P I went in to the turn at 100MPH and held it there . . . both he and our buddy passed out
Man I love the CT mods . . .
I think I could have pushed 115 or 120MPH on that exit . . . it was soooo smooth. 
I'll have to check back later and let you know about a quick run with an Evo.
Only problem was I had 380lbs of extra weight and the 50 to 100 run wasn't close . . . he ate my lunch. The redlight run was pretty interesting up to about 60 or 70 . . then he started pulling pretty good. Ruf

just stopped in @ DMD to peep the new TL. The show room floor one had 18s, body kit, spolier, wheel locks, and a few other minor things... guess how much it was going for.... 39,995!
fuck that expensive! but the exterior is a lot hotter than I thought it would be. especially with gun metal 18s.
talked to a salesman for a while.. (uhh ohh), he was pretty cool. hes gonna send an invitation to the tl test drive on the 22nd. he said there would be 6 cars to drive, and a few more on the showroom floor. 6 speeds wont get here for another month as everyone already knows.
The interior was off the chain. Can't wait to drive it.

This was a non-navi model too.

However, I'm still cool on the back end. Kinda reminds me of a Mitsu Galant.
And the price would certainly cause me to look much harder at the Audi, GS35 or coupe, or 330i, etc. For even money or a couple $K more I don't know that I would have made an Acura decision.

They'd really have to beef up the existing TL-S line to get me to consider dropping $7-8k more than i payed. With the sport sedans on the market, I'd probably choose the new TL though. I'm sick of the look of the G35 sedan and 330i (also, 225HP is a joke for almost 40k), and don't like the A6 styling very much. Hmmm... What else is in competition...

Too bad about the back end, I was really thinking that the front end looks nice.

If I were in yall's place, I'd consider the G35 Coupe a lot, but i'm a little biased. I agree that the 330i is just weak (seeing as how I beat them pretty badly) and the TL price has the potential to be really high. I do love the way they look though. I don't mind the tails. There is a nice review of the first Acura World member to own one over on their forum. Makes me want to go buy one...

o yeah guys, I test drove the new TL today. It's decent. nothing to wet your pants about. I got a price for a 6 speed with HPT and Navigation in Anthracite. Comes in in December coming up. They wanted $35,395 + TTL . They tried to screw me on accessories. $1900 for the body kit, $800 for the decklid spoiler, $300 for the front nose mask, $1000 for the front and rear bumper proximity sensors. Bastards... It priced the car at well over 40K. Personally for 40K I'll drive something nicer than an A-TL...
for 40K+, I'd be in an 02 M3. Not no stinkin TL.

Everytime I see a G35C I wish it met my needs better . . . even with the old pricing I probably would have picked it. Even though the 350z is cheaper . . I just don't like the facia as much.
