A Little About Myself:
Well, what can I say???

HondaWonderBoy's 2005 Acura TL

I received both my B.S. Electrical Engineering and B.S.Biomedical Engineering at the University of Rhode Island and I am getting my M.S. Engineering Management part time.

I lived in Rhode Island my whole life but just currently moved to San Jose California, to try some newer things in life. I work as an engineer for a defense company! I'm easy to get along with and help any friend out in need whenever they need!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riding season is a lot different in San Jose California than Rhode Island. First of all, it's year round. Second, you can split traffic in California. I love riding to work now because of that :-)

Pet Peeves of my car/ me personally
1) Uneducated people making propositions about engine specs, physics, thermal dynamics, stats... without any substantiating evidence or any clue at all
2) Talk is cheap, for example people who say "Oh ya, i'll get a turbo and it'll kick your rice ass". I'll believe it when i see it. People tend to brag more about what they don't have than what they do have.
3) Improperly used term "Rice"- isn't more the attitude, such as putting "Type R" on a Toyota, or "Vtec" on a nissan?
ANYWAYS...
4) Arguments that go along the line of "Jap Crap" or "Take it back to Japan, Help the AMERICAN economy"... Actually most hondas and toyotas and such cars have more American Made parts MADE by Americans than a lot of your GM, ford and Dodge parts out there. Sorry, your being a hypocrite
5) Low bidders! This was a 35k Car originally! come on now, 11 grand offer? You can't even buy a Ford Focus with that. Don't try to buy my car if you can't afford it, i'd love to help if I could!

Gorgeous TL man. I've never really liked a blue TL, but yours made me change my mind. I'm loving the painted grill and the painted/powdercoated wheels. What did you get to replace the TL?
