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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
Odometer: 499,964
It’s “500k Eve” – as I settle in for the night in Hollywood on the verge of a very big mileage accomplishment for my old Acura. The car sailed along Interstate 10 westbound from Phoenix just as smoothly as it has probably 50 times before. This stretch of road is a familiar one for the old Legend. We did sit through about 45 minutes of construction delays near Palm Springs.
I’ll do my best to bring you some of the day’s festivities via photograph and video after the big occasion.
See everyone tomorrow!
