New "Hakone Edition" replacement

So here is my new "Hakone Edition". A 2021 Acura TLX Type S in Tiger Eye Pearl with Orchid interior. Sure is a nice car and has more than adequate power.

Nah. Stock suspension. Just perspective plus the fact that these are 16x7 wheels with 205/55-16 snow tires. Makes it look skinny.
