2003 Acura 3.2 TL Type-S



other photos





hopefully it turns out good.. I'm getting a nice check this week and just got my hefty income tax refund today.. If I can bargain a chunk of change off the selling price, I might be taking it home.

looks nice

i generally prefer 2-door cars though, i've owned two 2-door cars and loved them both to death, even though they were crap, and i drove one crap 4-door and hated it...i don't know why. so until i get kids and NEED the back seat access, 2-door ftw!

It's got a blue steering wheel that means it's fast right?

It looks like a really nice ride.  Those slapstick trannys are a little fun.  Not as fun as a full manual though

I thought you were going to say something like this when you said you were looking at a new ride...lol  http://www.wbko.com/news/headlines/18029079.html

Not a fan of 4 doors on most cars.  The yukon and magnum as ok as a 4 door, for instance...  And having a kid you don't NEED a 4 door.  Two doors open wider and give you more access.  So anyone that says they have to get rid of their 2 door cause they have a kid their sig other must have been brainwashed into thinking a 4 door is the way to go.  When Tara was born Dave's Mom was here and I put Tara into her 4 door and almost threw out my back... the avenger, sebring and Jeep you just open the door and the car carrier swings in easily.  It always irks me when people say I have to get rid of my 2 door as we have a kid on the way.  As long as there is space in the backseat there is no problem.  I guess it just means cheap 2 door cars for people like us....lol.

i was actually refering to when the little ones grow up, hauling them around, etc. ussually easier with 4 door, especially on long trips. i guess i should have been more specific.

Hey the mialge is dependent on the vtec, so be happy you have it now...or will have it, vtec isnt so bad its the ignorant honda kids that think it makes the car special but anyone with even the small ammount of brain deducing capacity of Gr8 knows its only a valve timming gimmick, no performance under 6krpm and then bang. nothing special but you still get good performance with the ability to drive and save on fuel.

So whats gonna be the first mod??

Hey Chris.. got a nice Yukon for sale... lots of room in it...lol.  01 Sebring is also going up for sale...

Yeah, I realllllly don't like 4 door cars.. that of course being said I am looking at a Magnum maybe... we'll see.  Even with older kids 2 doors are better.  Cooler car for the older kids and the back seats are still perfect for them.  By the time they out grow the back seat they will be too cool to drive with you anyways or always wanting to borrow the car.. either way they aren't in the back seat.  Why not have a nice cool 2dr car?  LOL.

I admire that boycott guy, it seems like hes the only guy in america that cares enough to do anything about the fact that were getting exploited by big oil.

Some people see a $100 Avenger hit by a snow plow. I see potential. Where some saw a headache. I saw the $1500 in my pocket after I sold it.

They'll be back in those back seats sooner then you know it.  Wink jk lol.  Tongue  ahh. the stress of parenting.  Tongue

Anyways... the car in the add was not the same as the car I looked at.. It was just a regular TL. Still had the horse power though. I took another one for a ride at Crown Acura and bounced it off the vtec a couple times.. pretty quick but not the sporty look I'm looking for.

But on my way to a family supper with the GF (well soon to be gf)... I stopped in at Crown Nissan to see if they had anything else I was looking into.. and they had exactly what I was looking for.. it was the only one selling in the city.

It's coming home next Saturday.

Antony might like it. Wink
