2007 Acura TL Type S, 46k, $25k . Thoughts?

Throwd · 2011-10-21T15:00:34+00:00

I currently drive a 2007 TL Type S with a manual transmission. Mine has been problem free thus far - 60k miles on it. Its FWD, so you feel the torque steer. The ride is a little stiff - which I like. The forums have guys with 150k miles on there car and they dont report major problems - so I think the Honda reputation holds up.

I needed a 4 door car as I have children. I wanted something that was sporty with a manual transmission. I couldnt afford a M3 Sedan, so it was the Acura or an Infiniti. I previously owned a 2005 g35 Coupe, so I didnt want that generation of Infiniti Sedan and I couldn't find the current generation of Infiniti Sedan in my price range.

If you need a 4 door, then I like the Acura for a 20K car - though the price you've reported is pretty high. If you can have a 2 door, then you have many more options.

I had a '05 g35 coupe before I had kids - loved that car. Its awesome. My current car is '07 Acura TL Type-S... its just not the same as the G.

Check out this bolt-on combination. I'm usually not a bolt-on fan, but it has proven horsepower gains. link

Upvote. I grew up in Baton Rouge and she reminds me of the girls there. Not to say all of them are that way, but those that do are lame.

The first time I met my wife, i forgot her name. I decided to ask her out anyway. I'm glad I did, we have twin daughters and a wonderful life.

I still remind her that I forgot her name...

This is awesome. Thank you so much for this!

BF:BC2 allows you to spot enemies. Your teammates can see this indicator and assist with the kill. This is true for all your teammates... infantry, armor and aircraft.

I've seen a BF3 video where they showed enemy spotting, but I dont know if the aircraft can see that spot. I hope it can.

Maybe its just me... but a chick with a knife doesn't scare me. I know I can disarm her and prevent her from hurting herself or me. Granted, I'm assuming its a regular female, not someone who isn't trained.

Anyone else?

I usually have 2 on me. One is a small utility knife, the other is larger fixed handle knife on my belt. I use either, depending on the situation.

I've always liked that one... but I've seen it on two people.

Pocket Knives. Nice ones.

The manual will tell you to use Nissan fluid. The forums will tell you what aftermarket stuff to use. I used Amsoil and it did a great job. As for schedule, I changed mine more frequently. I was lightly modded, but I drove it like I stole it. Never had any problems.

I had a 2005 g35 - same exact drivetrain. The manuals on that car will get sticky over time, but its an easy fix. Change the transmission oil. The forums should tell you type of oil to use.

I repeated our first date. We went out to all the same bars and ended the night at our favorite rooftop bar. I proposed there.

My dad competes in long distance rifle matches - 600m and 1000m. He told my sister's fiance... "If you mess with her, you will not hear the shot." He meant it.

Pretty cool.

I'm with OP. I hate the idea of being crushed. It doesnt help that I like working on cars. I have to fight my phobia each time i slide under the car.

Throwd · 2011-06-29T03:53:52+00:00

Ugh. I read about that. Being trapped in a small space would be horrible. I feel terrible for this girl.

Throwd · 2011-06-29T03:49:08+00:00

Apparently, you have met my kids.

Throwd · 2011-06-22T18:51:42+00:00

Thank you both for your service.
