We used to own two Acuras back in the day, Legend and Integra. Then we had a European car lapse (Land Rover, BMW). Now, we've learned our lessons and are back to two Acuras in the garage. The Legend is a true classic that will last. I wish they'd get rid of the RL name and call it a Legend again.

When my car hit 123456.. I planned it days ahead. I didn't even drive it some days because I knew I would have been stuck on the freeway when it hit.

^^^ i feel you man....i took a pic at 100,000/111,111/123,123/123,456 LOL....

I keep my camera ready...but yes sometimes i do miss taking a pic coz am in my trip computer seeing how much mpg am getting LOL.....

You better get cracking on the other 500,000...and you better let Honda know about it:

We've got the first million-mile Accord. Better get cracking on the first million-mile Acura. :rockstar:

Yessir. Stock 16" wheels all the way.
I wish! :toocool:
Check out this post. I got 111,111.1 through 444,444.4 and a ton of other ones.

111,111.1 miles.. @ 111 MPH :what:

dude i just realized....if you hit a mil miles the odometer is gonna roll over to 0....:what:

There was another 1M mile Accord that was in a Washington Post article a few years back. A Honda dealer in Rockville MD bought the car and it's in their showroom. I think it was a 5G.

Update time.

I will roll 500,000 this coming Friday in Torrance, California at the Honda North America corporate office. Stay tuned to the blog as things transpire!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Less than 500 miles. Sweet.

:ecstatic:

This is completely AMAZING. I am looking at a 2005 6 Speed with 140K miles on it and this gives me hope. I drive about 40K miles a year and all you read about these cars is the problems they have like the BHG, etc. To hear what this one has accomplished is truly refreshing!

:bitesnails:

Looking forward to seeing this!!

It kind of disappoints me that digital odometers will never 'roll over' to all zeros. Once they hit 999,999, they just stop.

^

:sad:

Seriously?

Holy shit.. the part about the Austin meet is almost unbelievable. That's crazy.. :rofl: poor deers. :rip:

:popcorn:

Yep. It's been reported by numerous people.

I've heard some manufacturers that have their digital odometers stop at 300,000 and among those is the Toyota Prius although I don't know which generation. :huh:

:popcorn:

:annoyed: There are CLs past 200k, but Im hoping for 300k. I guess time will tell.

That's so :lame:





Will be checking in on Friday for the 500K

Instantly made me think of the Y2K craze. Can't think of why they'd stop it at 300k, imagine it's not because of the same supposed reason though.

:woot: The final stretch!

I hope Honda does something awesome for you at their HQ. :thumbsup:

Probably b/c they figure you'll be sick of buying batteries by then and will just scrap the thing for a new one :chuckle:

That is awesome. I hope they have something in the works for you!! Good luck and definitely keep us posted!!

Amazing post- plus, an amazing car that's obviously well cared for- if it completely disintegrated in your driveway today, you really got your money out of it. It owes you nothing. Best of luck on the next 500K miles.

Well done- very classy ride!

+1

Maybe you'll get a keychain.

update ?

cant wait !!!

From his blog @ http://drivetofive.wordpress.com/


Guess we'll have to wait until Sat to see 500K (and a new Acura?).



If you're still short a few miles from hitting 500K, you could always do some donuts at some parking lot like Justnspace. Just don't get pulled over. :rofl:

:popcorn:

I guess you guys don't follow Acura on Twitter, eh? Looks like they had a nice celebration today for Tyson. Congrats man! Looks like an AWESOME time! :toocool:

Congrats man! I am ridiculously jealous. Maybe #2 can follow your lead. :wish:





+1. The stories of people's reactions to RLs rebadged as Legends are pretty amazing. Reminds you of the legacy Acura has built.

^I don't think the RL is worthy of the Legend's name. There is nothing special about the current Acura RL.

You rock man!

Thats awesome. I still miss my Dad's old 4dr 93 Legend.

:woot: :cheers: Congrats on 500K!!

:ponder: I wonder how many transmissions it'll take my TL to get to 500K. :chuckle:

:party: :woot: :boogie: :mizouse: :thumbsup: :rockstar:

Still waiting for the 499,999.9 to 500,000.0 pics!! :teef:

Great job.
How about 500k more.:thumbsup:

:cheers: To 500k more!

I've followed this thread for a while...Congrats on the milestone!!:thumbsup:

congrats on the milestone

This.

:thumbsup: ... I am supa proud of you... and ur Legend

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the delay in responding - I've been internet-less except for on my phone since last Thursday night. Plus it's been non-stop craziness. I just got home from LA. The 500k went over EXACTLY as planned. Total precision on behalf of the planning team at Acura. Can't say enough about how impressed I was with the level of hospitality demonstrated toward me and all of the friends and family members who celebrated with me.

I'm back in Arizona already now, that old 500k milestone is long gone in my rearview mirror. Acura is paying my maintenance expense from now until the end of 2012, so that only means one thing: They want this baby to keep getting driven. And I'll gladly oblige.

Watch for a blog post in the next couple of days where I'll discuss the day's events in more detail. Thanks for following the story!
