Hello hello!.

Just wanted to introduce myself . I've been reading this site for about 2 weeks now. I finally got my account activated and can post! :P.

Anyways, I should get my 2005 TL White Diamond Pearl - Dynamic - Navi (UA6565K) on Saturday. I'm pretty pumped about it.

I live in Edmonton, AB - Canada, and apparently I'm the first one to order that exact package from that dealership!.

Anyways, cheers!.

tkX.

Ahh... a fellow Canadian

Welcome....

Enjoy your time with the new ride.... and enjoy this site...

The Car is fantastic. If you need any help on snows.. check out the tire etc. section.

I can recommend the Michelin Arctic Alpins PA2's. Had a set installed 3 weeks ago. They're great tires (in the dry .. have had only one minor snowfall so far here in Toronto area, but
they worked great...) I had the Arctic Alpins on our Odyssey van so decided to stay with them for the TL.

Again .. welcome and Cheers...

(and RETS.... even though you all think our dear country as snowland.. (and I can't blame you for that) it is more like early spring here now.. had the lawn mower out last weekend..Dec. 3rd. )

Congratulations fellow Canuck!

So far, my TL has been great in what winter we've had so far in Montreal. Handles well on ice and snow with Toyo Garit HTs, the winter tires I chose.

You might be interested in a remote starter being in the cold as well... I installed my own this weekend, the Compustar 2WSS. It's super awesome and works well even though my car is also 6MT. The install was hell. I was scared I wouldn't be able to put my baby back together again, but I did. I'm going to eventually post a nice HOWTO on it and it'll be in my sig. For now, I'm just enjoying it...

Good luck with your new ride!

Congradulation.

Glad to see another TL from Canada. Just watch out for the ice since I find that the TL shift smoother at 4000 RPM. However, the VSA should keep us in check.
