Just passed 150,000 miles....

As alot of you guys know I have an '00 TL that I use for my sales rep job. It crossed over 150K yesterday and I am here to tell you that the ACURA quality is there, at least in my case. The car still runs and looks like new with minimal problems so far, even the stock tranny. I have I/H/E/P and beat on it whenever I get the need to. The engine is strong as I've hit VTEC over 1,600 times by my rough calculations, but have only hit the rev limiter twice. My goal is 300K, unless I get real bored with it or I get a raise, which I doubt. Will keep you guys posted. Maybe I'll catch that million mile Volvo guy! So far, so good.

Since I put in the AEM, I have permanently resided in VTEC.

BTW, congrats. I have 71k, and mine will be 27 months old early this coming week.

150K highway miles could be like 50K city miles?!

I am 28K miles, no tranny problems so far. Rattles is the only turn off... otherwise everything is great.

I had minor issues taken care by dealer, and I am satisfied.
