Another FWD sedan :(

[Loud3 10+ year member]

If you followed the last thread, then you'll be glad I decided not to go with the Ranger. I also checked out the SC400, and it was a MESS. Wiring was exposed and rust on the quarter panels and rad support.

So, I ran down to the local Acura stealership and picked up a MINT 1996 Acura 3.5RL. It's not perfect, but it is in better shape than my Max was when I picked it up.

I think I am probably going to put audioz in it, and keep everything else stock (minus the gold package, that shit's gotta go!) I'm not crazy about the underpowered FWD sedan catagory, but it's perfect for what I needed it for.

Body has some minor nicks and dings, but the interior is spot on.

My one complaint is that it's a ballin' *** car, but no CD player in the dash?!? I will be going with an in dash Nav setup because of this(and the not knowing my way around Vegas part, as well....), but the deal I got on it was too good to pass up.

Nice car. You'll be ok on the power, so long as it can merge with decent quickness. Power - high gas and tickets. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Yeah, cops out here are ruthless. And most of the bigger roads around my area are 35mph, for some reason.

Tint will be done soon enough, but I'm thinking no wheels on this one. I want as little attention as possible in this one. Nothing fancy outside the car. Not this car... I learned my lesson on my last FWD car.

Very clean, interior looks great.

Don't like green on cars, and the style is not to my taste. But it looks nice.

PM a brother.

I hated it at first, especially when the sales guy said 'green for the money, gold for the honey.' I almost walked off the lot at that one.

But I think a good detail will bring it back to life.

That thing is pretty clean! FWD or not, still a nice car!

Sold the maxima to a friend. He lurks on here from time to time, I'm sure he will chime in when he gets all the audioz in it set up. Last I heard, he was trying to fit a pair of 18's in it.

I got out here Dec. 7th or 8th, I wanna say. Haven't been here long at all.

At least swap those wheels for a pair that look better
