I'm still a Honduh boi

[sportyaccordy]

ya rly

I'm jealous of my brother's G35 and gf's IS300 already

Is that Special Stage R5 from GT4?

And I still can't wrap my head around that trade. Did the wife have a lot to do with it??? My next car will definitely be RWD.

yup. I have a buttload more of GT4 pics

but nah, the (not yet a) wife had little to do with the trade. when I sold the Infiniti, I just got tired of borrowing (and worse, trading) other people's cars when I needed more space. which was more often than I realized.

But at the least... a TSX??? For a last sliver of hope...

the TSX is also FWD

I'm not sure if I'm missing out on anything, but I test drove a TSX, and wasn't that impressed

[nickdrinkwater]

I must be the only one who thinks the TL looks better than the TSX.  Maybe it's because I'm used to seeing TSXs in the shape of Accords.

[Colonel Cadillac]

Bah, the TSX FTW!


But yeah, congrats! A quick question: your's is the non-nav version, and when you are playing CD's, does it count the minutes and seconds that have elapsed? My TSX does not, and it is the simplist thing to put in and it makes me just a little bit angry everytime I want to know how long the song has played.

hehe well I do like the steering feedback on your car better

The only CD I played on the car so far was the demo disc, and yes, it did count the elapsed track time on the display. Funny that the TSX wouldn't have that feature
oh well, satellite radio FTW

But the TSX no havey torque steer

It's the closest thing to my H22A Accord... which was, in a word, sublime.

[Vinsanity]

oh well. guess I just like my sedans with a V6 (or a turbo); torque steer be damned.

[Raza]

Torque steer happens. 

In the Tib, you got massive torque steer.  Punch it in first gear, and the steering wheel gets up, slaps you in the face, and leaves the car completely. 

[SVT666]

Torque steer sucks.  I prefer power induced oversteer.

Oversteering on a FWD car aint fun...

[the_koof]

Very nice ride but why oh why is it an autotragic?

[Vinsanity]

Oversteering on a FWD car aint fun...

well, it is kinda fun in that it's harder to accomplish than oversteering a RWD car

Very nice ride but why oh why is it an autotragic?

thanks and welcome. manual trans TL's are hard to find.

[NomisR]

Hehe, well unless you use Mcdonald's trays to accomplish that, it could be fun.. otherwise.. no thanks..

So the S2k is really gone?  Or do u still have it right now?

[Vinsanity]

I wish I kept the s2k

it took all the self-convincing in the world that it wasn't worth having 2 car payments at the same time. even if it would only be for another year

[saxonyron]

I missed this thread!  Congrats on the new ride!  And I'm with Nick in the TL > TSX camp.  Sounds like you got a smokin deal, too.  Too bad about the tranny, but you're right - in that class of car, manuals are rare.  Too many people apparently like making frog noises when they shift their manumatic, I guess.   (Actually I seem to have missed out on the frog noises.  I'm a  little  behind on the really cool trends.)

You're getting old there ron

Hey, if the only trend I'm missing out on is ribbitting when I shift, I think I'm still doing OK!

I won't need to make ribbitting sounds when i drive 

[Raza]

As I recall, the SS/SC beat the Mustang GT around the track ina C&D track test. 

[Raza]

Yes it is!  Loads of fun, actually.

[ChrisV]

Yes it is!  Loads of fun, actually.

Mmm. Left foot braking into a trailing throttle oversteer that you then modulate with the throttle pedal is indeed fun. It's a lot like driving my old Porsche 911s at the limit.

Yep.  You can also Scandinavian flick that.  I've also done it many a time with my front wheels spinning in the wet at something around 25mph.  So much fun, and I wasn't even speeding!

LTO is awesome.

thanks amigo

and just so we're all clear, this is what I was referring to when I mentioned making crazy frog noises in the car: http://www.savageresearch.com/humor/insanityTest.html
("crazy frog" is the name of the audio track in the background)

[Raza]

Don't try and cover your tracks now, Vin.

[sportyaccordy]

Trail braking is the shizzle... a FWD car with an honestly neutral setup >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a Ford Crown Victoria

maybe you're just not driving the Crown Vic right :P

oh well. I won't be looking to engage in any sideways shenanigans in this car, anyways. I got most of that out of my system in the s2k
