My new daily driver

I was really torn between getting a 993 or a New Car with a warranty, well the safe side of me won.




Wanted some wheels with a little lip like my fuchs.



Michael

Sweet.
Nice choice on the wheels. Compliments the car without looking 'Pimp my ride".

Excuse my ignorance, but what is it? I'm not trying to be mean...it's just that in profile, I have trouble telling the difference between a BMW and a Toyota...

It's an Acura...I'm just not sure which one, though.

**Edit - you beat me to it!

It is just showing the lip on the wheel, most peopel say you can't get a

275/30/19 on the back of an Acura, which is also silly as it is a front wheel drive car, but heck it isn't a porsche, and I like the look.

I wondered what that was.
No, I haven't driven one but I hear good things. It really does look similar to a BMW, not that that is a bad thing.
What size are the wheels? I like the look of the lip, BTW.
EDT: Just saw the last post about the wheel size.

Hey, don't be too mean...I've heard that the Accura is a good car...I guess it's the aero factors that make so many cars look alike to my old eyes...

I hear they have these "BBS" boards on the interweb that are dedicated to pimping hondas and acuras...

It woulda been hard to pass up a 993 dude...

like the guy said, practicality...Most of the time, for the daily grind, I prefer driving a car that doesn't attract attention.
