Default Got new car!!

Picked up a 2003 acura cl type s out of dallas. Man I wish I did this along time ago. Its a badass car. Rides so soft and smooth, good sound, and pretty quick at that. The drive from dallas to houston was so nice unlike the loud rough ride Im used to. Its black on black. Ill get pics up soon

A true performance enthusiast wouldn't be pleased with an Acura over a V8 RWD sports car. That is like vehicle castration!

I know, Billy just doesnt like muscle cars anymore, I guess it could happen, not to me hehe. Im sure it's nice, but not one of those cars you just wanna get in and cruise around, youd prob see 100000 of the same exact car everyday, lol. Doesnt seem like that long ago I used to drool over Bills red WS6, that car was so perfect.

I see FAR more camaro's and TA's compared to a luxury line like the Acura. Even less of the CL's out there nowadays too.

For a daily driver thats an aweosme car, my buddy has a GS430, I would take that any day over any F-body for a daily driver, just a nicer car in every aspect, theres no denying that. Not saying I still wouldnt want a F-car for the weekends.
