you parked way too close to the far right lane which put you and your car in danger. you could have moved over several feet more to make it easier for moving traffic.
This is why you have to have a spare tire. My GR Corolla didn't come with one either but I added one where they should have put one in the first place in the hatch under the floor. I never want to be caught without a spare and rely on a tow truck as the same thing would happen to my splitter lip too.
@@MarcoTLX Thanks. I do love it. It's so fun ripping through the gears on the back roads and in the mountains. I'm looking forward to taking it on its first road trip from WA State down to CA for Toyotafest next month. It's going to be a blast driving the back roads down. I was glad to see you got the lip all fixed up.
@@jimsgaragetoys4963 sounds like a great chance to really see what the GRC can do. I am happy to have the front lip fully replaced too now I can think about getting some more accessories for my TLX
The tow company should definitely be paying for the repairs to your splitter. You have it on video showing the splitter being dragged and lifted when it was getting driven up the bed. No shot should you pay for any of repairs for the splitter.
Oh without a doubt Tanner, once my insurance sent the tow company over the video with claim, they accepted liability and replaced my front splitter 100% on their dime.
@@Tanner_Teves Yeah! I checked out your Channel... sick Pontiac G8! I don't see much of those in my area, but when I see one I usually don't mess with it cause they are damn quick!
@@MarcoTLX Thanks bro I appreciate that! I love em man, 4 door V8’s are just such a blast! Tho idk if mine is super fast, I’ve lost damn near every race I’ve been in 😂 Clean TLX Type-S bro, those cars are wicked 🤙🏼
@@Tanner_Teves I have started eyeing some 4 door V8s myself and Well I would be interested in seeing a review of it and what ownership has been like for you with the G8! Also thank you I try to keep it clean it stay breaking necks in the street lol
A lot of newer cars are like this now especially sportier cars my Veloster N is the same way no spare tire just a air compressors with some sealant that doesn’t work ig they do it for weight saving i have no idea.
It’s up to the owner/leaser to have a spare or donut. Also, the tow driver is supposed to lay down wood to load the car onto the flat. This Acura wasn’t even lowered. 🤦🏽♂️
I wanted to film more at the dealership but that particular dealer didn't look to comfortable with me filming so I stopped and scrapped that portion :(
I've had enough close calls with my A-Spec where I would have TRASHED the Type S splitter. 8:40 the 2.0T version just needs a tune for it to come alive but, it wont be the package that the Type S is.
Definitely! I got a guy who’s got a stage 3 TLX 2.0T with an exhaust and it’s just barely as fast as my Type-S stock. Problem is that exhaust note don’t hit the same like my Turbo V6 😮💨
@@MarcoTLX off the line it won’t launch like a Type S. Mine is a FWD with a Phearable stage 3 so, lost cause off the line. But coming in at 400lbs less than the Type S, I do like my odds in a roll race.😎
Oh hell no i bought my type s with a curbed rim car had 3k miles idiot woman driver had it before me it still bothers me to look at it but going to the dealer even with the tire and rim package is a fkn hassle
Do the dealer give you issues about using your tire and rim warranty? Also that sucks I would’ve requested sales to have that rim repaired before I took delivery of it
This is true, however in this case it was important for me to get a flatbed since my TLX is AWD and towing it any other way would damage the drivetrain.
Okay so the two company should have been responsible for the damages done. Open a claim with them. (Liability) each tow company has insurance specifically for this reason and or out of pocket the cost for you
Towing company accepted liability once my insurance reached out to them with a claim and the video proof. They squared me away with a brand new OEM front splitter
Ikr!? It’s like the size of a E Class Benz or 5 Series BMW on the exterior but the size of a C Class and 3 Series on the interior. I still wonder how Acura managed to develop such contrasting proportions
You need a spare tire I got one for sale it is made by modern spare never used it. I’m selling it since I no longer own my 21 tlx aspec let me know if you are interested.
@MarcoTLX I never park forward in a parking spot for several reasons but the biggest is so that I don't scrape the front end of my vehicle 😅. Besides its easier to back in anyway
@@Yasuhiko88 SAME! I don't park forward facing anywhere due to how long the front end is and the lack of a 360 camera makes it impossible to judge how close you are to a curb and parking sensors usually never can detect a curb.
You knew it had no spare tire before you bought the thing so complaining about it after the fact is pointless and if you didn't know about it than shame on you for not doing your research. Also I'm so sick of fanboys saying that this car is underrated. There's nothing underrated about the TLX Type S. The trackpad is dumb, the infotainment system is trash, the backseats are made for midgets, the gas mileage is embarrassing and it weighs as much as an aircraft carrier for its class. Yes, I've driven it. The only thing this car is performing against is a shopping cart from Walmart. Don't know wtf the Honda engineers were thinking to only give it 355HP, stupid. And no one should have to buy a damn kit to get greater HP so miss me with that BS. Is the car sexy? Yes. Will the car be more reliable and last longer than the european vehicles? It should but no one is breaking their necks or turning their heads in shock and awe when they see a TLX Type S roll down the road so stop, just stop. It's not like it's a Bugatti or a Koenigsegg.
I did know, but it was something to point out for others to see if they didn’t know. As for your rant about the TLX-S… I still think it’s a decent car for the money I paid to acquire it. I think it will be a car that will have a lot of appreciation years later.
This dude doesn’t even deserve to be driving a type-S. All you needed to do was buy one single tire either used or new, no need to take it to the dealership. Another thing, 4 days to get it back? That damage was completely on you because the tow truck damaged it but you didn’t call it out on the spot. Dang this dude taking L’s left and right
Tell me you didn't watch the entire video without telling me you didn't watch the entire video. I took it to the dealership because I purchased a tire & wheel protection warranty which is only valid at an Acura dealership. Please see @ 9:14 4 days to get it back because the dealer held it up due to a warranty approval issue with my puddle lights. I did alert the tow truck driver, thus they paid for the replacement of the splitter. I took Ls and thats ok because everyone takes an L but I bounced back within a week.
@@MarcoTLX Don't even listen to that hater, congratulations on your Acura, who puts a used tire on a beautiful vehicle like this or any vehicle for that matter, just a dumbass.

why tf do cars not come with spare tires anymore. apple started this by taking out the bricks
Lol! I do miss having everything in the box when you bought a new iPhone
Lol exactly like apple also removing the headphones jack wtf

Yeah I’m considering it, sick GR Corolla btw I got to drive one back when I worked for Toyota, was a fun little hot hatch

That’s what I figured a spare tire in the TLX just would make it too heavy to feel sporty haha
Your splitter was gonna hit either way bro
This seems to be a common issue with the very low profile tires on the type S Acuras.
It’s up to the owner/leaser to have a spare or donut. Also, the tow driver is supposed to lay down wood to load the car onto the flat. This Acura wasn’t even lowered. 🤦🏽♂️
Man crinkled your new bumper, that’s crazy
That scratching noise and seeing my bumper bend like that hurt me 😔
Bro in ur video, if u zoom it on 00.31 sec before its not damage before the tow hook up. Afterwards it was most def damage, (zoom the close up)
stock ride height and stock splitter?
Yup stock ride height, the tow truck driver tried to claim my car was lowered and not stock haha
I bought the optional spare tire kit. No way I was going to be driving my Type S around with no spare.
Yeah I'm debating doing that, though it adds even more weight to this heavy sedan lol
Wowwwe at everything is Allset now
I wanted to film more at the dealership but that particular dealer didn't look to comfortable with me filming so I stopped and scrapped that portion :(
They didnt have a spare tire in that?
Nope in the video I showed where they put a tire pump in place of a spare. To Acura’s credit it helped not to add extra weight to an already heavy car
I've had enough close calls with my A-Spec where I would have TRASHED the Type S splitter. 8:40 the 2.0T version just needs a tune for it to come alive but, it wont be the package that the Type S is.

@@MarcoTLX yes sir, F23A4. We’ve chatted before.
@@MidnightAspec ahh Ofcourse! One of my favorites on the forum! Very good constructive conversation! Thanks for the support on my video! 🙌🏾
the straps on the bed of the flat bed tow truck buckles ripped it.
Damn bro Acura for life.
Why do tow truck drivers not have ramps smh
I wonder the same thing lol
Oh hell no i bought my type s with a curbed rim car had 3k miles idiot woman driver had it before me it still bothers me to look at it but going to the dealer even with the tire and rim package is a fkn hassle

why get a flatbed tow truck when you have a lip kit. never go flat bed unless you're confident in his skill
This is true, however in this case it was important for me to get a flatbed since my TLX is AWD and towing it any other way would damage the drivetrain.

I love mine

We have to "buy' a spare smh
right?! instead we have this re-inflatable kit lol
Thats sucks mannn when someone damages ur car. The tow truck should’ve have paid for the damage. Also, sucks Acura don’t provide a spare tire
Tow Truck company ended up paying for it
Maybe you should have offered to help him lol 😆 😂 I would say your fault
In retrospect doing this would have avoided this, but I assumed he could drive a car up the ramp without issue.
@MarcoTLX he probably could have but it's always best to ask them if you could help or drive it up on your own.

No way the tow truck didn't do that i drive tow trucks no way the lip touched
Are you blind he clearly scraped the lip at 1:46
No way you're blind and deaf at the same time
Yeah the slow-mo tells it all lol
Any good flatbed operator should have a wood blocks or elevation ramps for low riding vehicles.
@@lpcook1 that’s what I found out after the fact but he didn’t even have good ones they were plastic and not wooden
