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.

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.

Very cool. Glad to see Acura taking care of you and including you in events even after the 500k celebration. Congrats again!! :thumbsup:

Actually I'm not in Scottsdale anymore man. We moved to Nashville at the end of 2012, but something tells me I wouldn't be surprised if you pass through this part of the country at some point lol.

Congrats thats is definitely an accomplishment! Keep it rolling and it's awesome what Acura did for you. Car looks prestige too, that's the best part! Time to keep it rolling and push a million. Then you can fight for 3 million (shouldn't take too long) haha

This is truly inspiring. One of my pet peeve is keeping the engine bay clean, I don't know how you do it but I want to make sure I know how for my next ride (hopefully an 09/10 RDX).

Word on the street is that you have an ILX :ninja:

jgj925 04-19-2013 10:58 PM

wow heres a late congrats man. i hope I get one of my hondas to 500k

4cruizn 04-19-2013 11:08 PM

Wow, bumped from the dead - thanks guys.

:thumbsup:

Yeah, the Legend is still moving along, but the ILX 6-speed is my new daily driver. I got a 2013 ILX on June 12, 2012 with 16 miles on the odometer. It has just under 35,000 on it now. It has been every bit as reliable as my Legend so far but we'll see if it has the ability to go the distance.

I blog about my travels in both the ILX and the Legend on my blog called Drive to Five.

I already posted a separate thread with a mileage update here on Acurazine last September when the Legend has 515,000 miles on it.

Since then I've had a few more maintenance items: EGR valve, brake pads & rotors up front (that was the first time the brake rotors had ever been changed). Otherwise I just keep feeding it 91 octane fuel and changing the 5W30 oil every 3,000 miles and it starts up every single time.

This is a picture from last month at a small car show in southern Utah over Easter weekend. She still cleans up pretty nicely! Had the front end resprayed last fall. It was pretty rock chipped.

Indeed I will be driving the Legend across the country in August of this year. I'm taking it on a 4,000 mile round trip drive from Phoenix, Arizona to Asheville, North Carolina for the 9th Annual National Acura Legend Meet (NALM). We should try and meet up while I'm rolling through Nashville!

Haha, the miles accumulate on the Legend much slower now but I still definitely give it plenty of exercise. 3 million would take some time!

Yes, I still have the matching sedan Legend GS 6-speed too. 143,900 miles on that one.

It's relatively easy to keep an engine bay clean here in Arizona because our weather's nice. Little bit of dusting every now and then is all it takes to keep up. I use Meguiar's detailing products.

Yes indeed. It's a fun little car to toss around! 2.4 liter and 6-speed pulled from the Civic Si. Nimble handling, 32 mpg, some nice tech features (push button start, back up camera, the whole 9). I'm liking it.

Lol. No automatics for me! I have driven only manual trans cars since I was 17.
