21 4th car. First Honda/ Acura.
1998 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 2WD (Total loss in accident, not at fault)
2003 Toyota Highlander Base 4cyl FWD (Traded in)
2003 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V8 2WD (Nearly totaled in accident, didnt want the headache so sold for parts, not at fault)
2003 TL Type S

I was looking at 12-14 Camrys and I saw the TL listed for a little over $2k. Couldn't pass it up.

Tsx & tl

I first became a member of the Acura family in 2008 at the age of 46 with the purchase of a 2004 TSX NBP. Next were an 01 TL WDP, an 03 TL Type S & finally an 08 TL WDP at the age of 54 now.

23 when I got my 2000 TL. I'm 24 now, haha. First car was a 1987 Toyota Camry. That thing smashed! I miss it dearly. Oh well, moving on to bigger and better things! Got a few mods coming in for the TL soon. A-SPEC lip kit, wheels, coilovers, catback exhaust.

27 when i picked up my royal blue pearl 09 TL tech 5AT. Traded in my '13 Accord V6 Ex-L coupe with HFP kit since we had a little one on the way. Miss the "sporty" coupe but love the space and styling of the TL.

29, this is my 2nd car, a few months ago I got my 2010 NBP SHAWD Tech 6M, love it every day.

First was a 2000 manual V6 eclipse that I hated to sell, I will drive my TL til it dies which should mean I'm in my 50s worst case scenario!

Just picked up an 05 TL this past weekend. It needs lots of attention and rehab (it was a college kid's prior) but I already love it! I'm 34 and this will be my daily driver.

Will be the big five-oh in Less than two months, so it looks like I’m in the older end of the spectrum.

I made my account in 2007 to get a head start on Acuraline. I would scour it thinking how nice it will be to someday own one.

Years later, I bought my first Acura with $1 bills.

I was Saving 4 a TL just like you are now

Uncle passed down his 2G TL when I sold my Civic. I was 21 and hated that everyone wanted to race me

Picked up my 2007 TL recently at 24 y/o. Most people I see in Acuras here are older unless it's a RSX

Got my first 1998 Acura Integra R used in 2000. That car was stolen and totaled. Then I got an Integra GSR which I had for 2 years.

Then a 2004 TL in 2004.
Then a 2015 TLX
