So i bought a car
 
Got it home today, its a 04 Acura TL 6sp manual with navi, dark blue with tan leather. You can do everything in this car without ever having your hands leave the steering wheel, its really cool, voice controlled pretty much everything. It has decent power for stock (270hp) with the 4 piston brembo front brakes in the front its pretty nice. Ill get pics tomarrow if i can, its too dark out to get any good pics. I still have the turbo accord and the built engine is getting finished soon so hopefully ill get some track runs before winter.

One of my friends parents own one of the o6 tl's with the six speed, cornering and throttle response is very smooth. Good power for bone stock, it got up to around 115-120ish very quick and was very smooth across the power band. Only complaint is the clutch(only 5k total miles) wouldn't grab right away on a 3500rpm drop and power shifting 2-3 or 3-4 the clutch wouldn't engage quickly either. Other then the clutch issues the seats were very comfortable along with a nice thump from the stock sound system. All i can say is if i had the cash i would be rolling a tl right now O0

hahaha it is until pics are posted....

but that's nice man, I test drove one and was going to sign, but they offered me nothing really for the Subie.



It seems like a lot of us, the older members, are gowing up, buying new nice cars, houses, getting married and everything else.....Scary :-\ :-*

1 Japanese yen = 0.00854773912 U.S. dollars

He has ¥180000 sitting on that table... so

180000 x 0.00854773912 = ~ $1538.59

Seems a bit low to be showing off, but I'm gonna assume google's conversion numbers arent exact :S

If Frank could pay for his cars with the wealth of stupid he carries with him instead of yen, he'd need a warehouse for all his cars...

i'd be sweet. Id just get a huge container and tear them all apart and hopefully my stupidness would pay for the shipping also. :D

Sinister, your right. ;D

had I bought the car today with a 115y-$1.00 conversion rate, dam it would have been super cheap. wish I had some $$ to spend right now, the USD isnt worth ---- today. :-\

Yeah, those are nice. I'd rather have one than the more expensive/powerful rl. They look clean as ----.

Pics? I'm guessing no boost since it's under warranty? :'(

Re: So i bought a car
 
That's exactly the same car I test drove, except mine was a homo auto. Same color, interior, features, etc. I like them. Maybe someday.

Re: So i bought a car
 
the auto blows, the 6sp is much nicer, has better suspension and much better brakes (brembo 4 piston, 12.2" rotors)
