Hey...Im a newbie. Love the forum so far. I have a 1998 3.2 TL. I had a 1992 civic hatch and decided it was time for a "family car"....boy was I wrong. One kid and 3 years later im back...lol now im looking for new ways to make my TL better. I look forward to all and any advice and criticism ~Melissa
When I figure it out I will post pix from my droid...lol Thx...

I'm a quasi newbie to this forum too and must admit that you came to right place if you are looking to educate yourself on improving your acura or just want to chat with some good people...

People have some great ideas and when it is time to buy your new Acura this is the sight to go to... I used this site to get a realistic number to haggle with... Thank you Acurazine!!

I went 2 weeks ago to get a tune up on my TL and my mechanic wanted to know what those "electronic" boxes were for...lol the installation was very simple and looks great.

Ill take more pictures of my TL. Right now I have more pictures of my jeep. Since my jeep has been broke into four times I've had to put alot of money into new tops and windows...ect. just bought the wheels for the jeep yesterday. Tried to order a set of Konig 16MB LACE 18's for the TL...they said they would take 60 days to get here...didn't know if they were discontinued? Thx

Love the Jeep! Did you take your kid wheelin'?

18" would look way too big on a TL that's stock height.

~Cheers~

the max i put on mine was 20k a year but avg is 15k a year. seems like you got a low mileage car from a lil old lady lol

I'm going to providence next weekend to see some friends. must admit i'm learning to LOVE it there!

ever thought of a hard top for the jeep to help against theft?
