I have driven manual and automatic in heavy traffic. In heavy, slow (city) traffic with a manual, I have to feather the clutch, throttle, and brake to keep from tapping the bumper in front of me.

"throttle"? Clutch by itself works fine for me in slow traffic. I do cover the brake, of course.
 
The only thing annoying about manuals in slow traffic is if the traffic is bouncing between 2 gears.

Feathering a clutch in traffic is no big deal.... until that traffic becomes several miles of crap which only allows very slight movements forward, for hours on end.
Then, the clutch leg gets quite tired.
 
I miss my manual and wish my G35x offered it.

The throttle is the pedal to the right of the brake. Unless your idle rpm is set way too high, I doubt very much that you don't use it.

That's exactly what made me reluctantly give up manual trannys several years ago - the commute crawl was just too much.

Polished Metal Metallic is not a very common color.
It's listed as an available color on the Canadian site, but not on the Acura's US site.
Looking through available models throughout the US though, I do find 08 TLs available in this color..... so who knows.
 
The Canadian site is lousy, and I haven't been able to pin point the paint code through Google either.
A quick call to a dealership may be your best advice.

I have an "Alabaster Silver Metallic" 08 TL. Where would I find the "paint code"?

Is the weight sensor for the front passenger airbag adjustable? by mdcatdad
Feb 24, 2008 (10:17 am)

I find that when I put a large bag of groceries on the front seat of my 2008 TL I get a warning message and "e-mail" about the airbag being off or the seatbelt not being fastened (I forget right now exactly how it's worded), but the manual indicates that the air bag does not turn on until the weight of the load reaches 65 lbs.
 
Is there any way to stop this message from displaying, such as by adjusting the weight that triggers this message?

It would be easier, and probably safer, just to put the lap belt around the grocery bag. It might stop the eggs from flying all over the windshield during a sudden stop.
