I've heard the 6-speeds are gems that's why I asked. Cool to see you back man.

Yeah, the 3G TLS cars are already approaching cult status. Give it a decade and they will be selling for what ITRs are selling today. They are simply the best mid size sports sedan Acura/Honda ever built. Style, weight, size and power are all just perfect. Even the 5AT is extremely competent, as it is an RL trans modified for FWD only use; it actually blips throttle on downshifts in manual mode, and in regular mode constantly downshifts as you are slowing down; kick downs are virtually instant...it will put you in first at 6K RPM if you floor it in 2nd.

On manuals in general. After 2 years with manual CLS, I was actually tired of it. Manual transmission doesn't work in US. I shifted 1-4 90% of the time when driving and my daily commute had one instance where I could downshift to 2nd before the turn. Then, the agony of getting stuck in traffic on I-10 and shifting 100s of times in/out of first is just not worth it. One day, I was doing a site visit to some projects in town...and I counted that I had to do over 400 first gear starts of the freeway. Zero fun.

Just got back from the frame shop. Original 1st Edition, near-mint condition. Giving it to my daughter for her new place in Burbank.

Had it recently appraised... Holy f"<!

I particularly liked the groups of employees cheering when it didn't blow up the expensive launch pad. That whole bit reminded me of how people react when around the Great Ruler in North Korea. Except they all appeared to be totally stoned.

As I have said numerous times: Jamie wants big boom!

The framing on that dirty rag worth more than gold is immaculate Mike. What does your daughter do in movies? Is she in production? I'm just curious because I work in film production - though on the filthy advertising side of things. Have many friends on her side of the biz. Cheers!

^^ Mostly she does set design and is often the set buyer. Movies, ads, Netflix series, all sorts of stuff.
