Glad you are ok.
So, how is your TL compare to G? Performance, gas millege, and all.

And yes, Torque steer sucks... One time I was driving her car to get gas.. I was going up an incline in the rain. I changed lanes to pass a slow-poke... As I gunned the accelerator, the slip light illuminated, and the car JERKED towards the next lane. I had to hold the wheel with all my might to keep the car in my own lane.
A few weeks later I did the same thing in my G Coupe, in the same location... Rear end stepped a little sideways, but keeping the car in my own lane was relatively effortless.

(Both cars were bone stock wearing the same tires even)

I'd rather had an '03 AT G35 coupe, than a '08 TL Type S.
Don't let those TL's fool you. The G stops better, handles better, does pretty much everything better. 6 months after getting my G...I still had a permanent smile on my face...not lying 3 days after getting the TL, I was wanting to return it.
