120,000 miles abp 2005
So guys i've been here since Jan 2005 with my tsx, been racking up miles like crazy
I go to school to buffalo, ny which is about a 450 mile commute in between the season.
Also i used to do an every week commute for the paintball team for freshman year and sophomore year about 110 miles every week.
So yea rockchips scratches dings you name it.
Recently got a weird hole in the bumper going put something over it till i get a new bumper.
Scratches from people at school parking lots don't help either.
My hood is rockchipped beyond taping the car most of it is not even from highway driving damn trucks litter rocks on my car.
So its still running strong and great.
I recently cleaned out the headlights and blacked out the inside

next mods
black vinyl for the chrome
maybe vinyl roof overlay
momo cobra shift knob i hate it its not threaded it uses a 3 screw style to hold it in place. Not so firm so I had to screw the 3 screws into the shaft using electrical tape to hold the screws in place.

For 120K miles, it still looks good. The paint still shines, unlike the paints back in the days where they dull over time.
Cool that you're no stranger to the open road, and your ride isn't a garage queen.

Damn, that's a lot of rock chips! At first I thought they were water drops until the pics got closer. Still looks pretty good though. 120k miles is a lot of driving, especially considering your locations. Those are tough on cars.

Car looks great. I'll be driving mine til the wheels fall off too.

it's a car-drive it
Very nice, well maintained tsx-despite the rock chips-mine is loaded also, thanks to highway driving (especially 95)With the driving I do, I will have very close to 100,000 miles by the time my car is 3 years old.

Are you the original owner of the car? If not, how many miles did it have when you first got it?
Your car still looks very nice. That engine compartment looks very clean. Did you steam clean the engine?

boost owns
My 04 is nearing 57k, haha. Car looks good Jeff. Glad to see you enjoying it all these miles later. You remain the owner of one of the only TSX's I've ever liked chrome wheels on.

My 04 is at 140K miles and climbing. Driving between Detroit and Kentucky/Wisconsin/Virginia. Just installed a new set of struts, but no other mechanical failures to date

Since April 05 i've put 120,000 on mine too! I'm at like 119,340 right now and I feel you when it comes to those rock chips. My windsheild was cracked within the first week of owning her and just had it replaced last week. She definately does not sit in the garage! Nice ride! Love those moving shots.
