Congrats Tyson:cheers:

RaviNJCLs 11-06-2011 06:11 AM

Congrats Tyson. Looks like Acura did something nice for you. I would love to see you cross 1000000.

Sly Raskal 11-06-2011 11:45 PM

Congrats again Tyson! It was a blast celebrating with you at American Honda Headquarters and at the Honda Museum. I can only dream of my Integra making it up to 500K.

Here are the pictures I took at the event. If you want any of them for your blog be sure to let me know and I can give you copies of them at a higher quality...

I hope all of you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them. The other cars you see in this gallery are featured at the Honda Museum which is closed to the public.

WOW is all I have to say.

I remember you looking at Legends in junkyards that have less miles than yours, yet here is your car, 500K miles and literally getting the red carpet treatment!

Gfaze 11-07-2011 01:06 AM

You should have asked Acura to throw in a front end refinish to take care of those rock chips. :chuckle:

swoosh 11-07-2011 01:09 AM

can the MODS please change the thread title to "500K Achieved" :biggrin:

IIRC, they did give him the parts for his next timing belt service and paid for all of his services for 2012. ;)

hANDYcaptd 11-07-2011 07:03 AM

Awesome photos Sly!

Congrats Tyson! Truly remarkable accomplishment. :cheers:

Yes indeed - free maintenance until 2013. Not bad!

Thanks everyone for your support - it's been a long journey but the finish line was totally worth it.

Congrats! The timing for the mileage at the ceremony was spot on, I am amazed that you could time it right down to the button on your arrival at the Acura headquarters.

You have no choice now but to hit the 1,000,000 mark just like the Honda Accord did.

Seems like people are following along just fine. That said, if the OP would like a title change, we'll happy oblidge.


BTW, congrats Tyson. That's awesome and I'm glad to see that Acura rolled out the red carpet (literally) for you!! :thumbsup:

Hey thanks guys! It's been awhile since I updated this thread but I'm still documenting my travels in the now well OVER 500,000 mile Legend. I turned over 509,000 two days ago. Here's a somewhat recent picture.

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u...gie/508964.jpg

My blog at http://drivetofive.wordpress.com is still updated every couple of weeks with the latest as I'm still daily driving the car.

As for the new ILX stuff, yeah! I'm having a blast - just "riding the wave" and seeing where it takes me. It's incredible of Acura to recognize my enthusiasm for the brand and invite me to take part on the ILX launch. I'm loving every minute of it.

It was a rockin' party for sure - huge thanks to Honda / Acura for hosting!
