No one guessed?

Okay, I’ll tell you anyway. Sunday, on the way home from Big Bear we stopped to pick up my (our) new Acura TL! I have wanted this car for 4 years. The week before we picked it up I couldn’t sleep. Literally. I had to take sleeping pills to get a couple hours of sleep. Now that I have it I can’t believe it.

So what makes an Acura TL so special? I won’t list everything, but it has 5.1 surround sound, navigation, voice recognition for 293 different car functions, separate climate controls for passenger and driver, auto dimming rear-view mirror, it tracks the sun and cools that side of the car down a couple of extra degrees to compensate. When I push the unlock button, the car adjusts the seats, mirrors, climate control, radio stations, headlight preferences, and door lock/unlock preferences to the way I set it up. It will do the same thing for Vanessa’s preferences when she uses her keys. It has 270 horsepower, top speed of 153 mph, 0-60 in 6.2 seconds, and I can choose to shift manual or automatic depending on how I feel. It will also link up with a Bluetooth phone and I can make or receive calls through the voice recognition and car speakers.

I love it! I have been treating it like a baby for the first 600 miles (300 more to go). So on the way back from Vegas then I can play with the engine a little. I had to leave it in the garage today, because they are repaving our street and I didn’t want to park it in the street. So, I’m really looking forward to driving to Vegas and back. Actually, I look forward to driving anywhere! Thank you to Vanessa for helping me and letting me get my favorite car! Zooooooom!
